Keep on Runnin
I took a leap into the "Runner's World" today. I did the unimaginable and signed up for the half marathon. So excited and a little nervous. It is the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon held this year on April 29th. It is a tribute to the victims and survivors of the Oklahoma City Bombing. My longest competitive run is 3.14 miles and the longest I have ever ran is 5 miles. It wouldn't be a stretch to say I am a little out of my element. This week I am up to 4.5 miles so hopefully I can keep up the intensity. Let's be honest though their is one thing motivating me above all- that 13.1 sticker I'll be able to put on the back of my car. It is better than any trophy I can put on a dusty shelf. It is bragging rights to all those cars behind me. I may have to start speeding to get in front of more people and get a new car to match my new sticker. Or I may have to stop getting ahead of myself before I can even run half the distance this race calls for. For now I will just have to make a good running playlist and try not to get shin splints. To all my followers, I am expecting big cheers and maybe a poster as I cross that finish line ;)
