Half marathon?

I haven’t been running in a while, so I thought what a better way than to have a goal to keep me motivated. Started training for a half marathon on Monday. I found a 10-week training log for a half marathon to get me up to shape. It recommends being able to run 30 minutes straight for 4-6 weeks, but I only have 10 weeks until the Charlotte Racefest. I haven’t registered yet because I want to make sure I can actually do it! I’ve ran 3 miles straight two days in a row, and I can already tell a difference. I’m using MapMyRun.com to figure out where to run to complete each day’s recommended mileage.

I know this doesn’t relate to art, but in a way it does. It’s about believing in yourself and what you can accomplish, and a creative way to keep me motivated to get me into shape. My next goal will be to continue to train for a full marathon. I don’t usually make new year’s resolutions, because I want to continue to make every effort possible to make myself better, no matter what time of year it is. I shouldn’t need a holiday to do that.
