In the beginning...

there was a mom. She wanted to run a half-marathon. Why? Because she has lost her mind.


So, this is my blog... (I know, I know, I'm about 4 years too late to jump on the blog bandwagon but I need a place to hold my self accountable for what I am eating and how much I am running. So shut-up or go away.) I have 20 weeks until the half-marathon. My goal is to run it in under 2 hours and 30 minutes. I think that is doable. I have a great training program and a nutritional plan in place also. I just have to stick to it. Today I got up at 4:30 am and did speed training. I ran 4 - 800's. (That's 2 miles in theory. Because I don't have a track to run on I just take my mile time and divide it in half and run as hard as I can for that amount of time.) I've eaten great today but it's still early.

Over the next couple of days I will be updating and adding links to the blogs I read. I may even add pictures. Who knows?

One more thing - don't be all surprised and stuff if I write about my children. Even though they are fairly annoying they can also be quite funny at times. I may even write about my friends for the same reason.
