First Half Marathon

Well my leg finally healed. There was a time I thought it might not, it was going so slowly. But its finally there and I am easing back into working out and running. In all of my excitement and enthusiasm in getting back out there, and Abby finally being at the age and temperament that I could foresee training and aiming for one of my life goals, a half marathon, I decided to go for it. Summer would be terrible since I die (seriously die) in heat, so the new year would be the earliest I could do it. A friend of mine who is a seasoned marathon runner (she has done 10 already and I don't even know how many half marathons), knew offhand that the Tinkerbell Half Marathon was in January and that would be good timing. I thought that would be perfect; what better race for my Disney fairy obsessed daughters to cheer me on for than a Tinkerbell themed one at DISNEYLAND????? So here I go. This week I did my first all running workout. It was almost 3 miles. LOL I have some work to do! I signed up for UCSD's 5K in June for practice and to get a baseline for what my times are like, and work up from there. Registration for the THM is not up yet, I think it opens next month or so.
