I signed up for a half marathon training through Fleet Feet in Sacramento. I have been quietly thinking about joining a training group like this for months and without over-thinking (and talking myself out of ) the whole thing, I committed myself to training at least twice a week from January to March.
This is a huge deal for me because I have been only doing yoga as exercise for a couple of years now. And from what you know about my kind of yoga, most of it has involved laying down.
Truth be told, I’m a little nervous. I’ve never been a runner, jogger or even regular walker. I’m not really sure what I’ve gotten myself into. As of right now, I don’t know anyone else doing this training. I’ve never done a big event like this before and I’m pretty sure 13.1 miles is a long way, even if you are just walking!
I signed up for the Tuesday night and Saturday morning workouts. My goal is to learn how to do a run/walk, however right now I’m in the walkers group.
The big event takes place the weekend before my big 4-0. I guess I’ll have a lot to celebrate!

waaaaaat? how did i miss this??? congrats!! i “used to” run and did several 1/2s. there a good distance – impressive but not extreme like a full. can’t wait to hear about progress!
“quietly thinking” – key here. i can keep a secret!
i’m not sure sure about the “run” part since i currently don’t do that, but i’d like to learn how. at least i’ll do the walk part.
training = must do exercise. let’s make some walking dates. i’ll have to do some running just to keep up with you.
Really?! I’ve wanted to “learn” to enjoy running for years…where do I sign up?
check out the link – you should totally sign up!
