My wonderful coworker Adriana told me last week that it is her goal to run a 5k marathon in about 3 months. I was happy for her but didn't really give it much thought. She is fit, a work out fanatic during her wedding, and a pretty healthy girl - so I am sure it is something that she will be able to complete successfully. Well today, Jason worked until 1:00 and Olena was with my mom so I was lucky enough to spend the entire first half of the day alone! for some reason I started to think about the marathon and I chuckled a little bit because I thought to myself, "imagine if I could do that" :) after thinking about it for a few minutes, it hit me - why can't I do it? three months...three miles...you know what? I can do it!
For those of you who know me personally, you know that this is something major. Jason, laughed when I first told him! but after listening to me and realizing that I was being serious he is now on board and even willing to train and run with me. I searched the Internet for a few hours today, found quite a few good training programs for beginners and I am really excited. My total weight loss has been about 60lbs since my surgery in Feb but I still have a ways to go. This is going to be my chance to make that next step forward. I am down a significant amount of weight but now is the time to really take charge, and get healthy. I am nervous yet so pumped I feel like I could go out and run it tonight :) lets hope that this energy level is still there next week when I am sore, tired and cranky! Wish me luck!
Today I have decided that I am going to run a 5k marathon at the end of November!
