I Believe I can Run 13.1 Miles


This week marks the beginning of a 12 week training program for me to get in shape to run my first half marathon; the Marine Corps Historic Half in May. I include running in my exercise routine but I've never run a marathon and I'm nervous and excited. I'm nervous because I don't know what running 13.1 miles feels like. On the other hand, I'm excited because running a half marathon is my fitness goal.



I'm using an official training program with a weekly plan to help me because as Mark Will-Weber once said, "running is real and relatively simple…but it ain't easy." I'm going to use this as a road map to help me build endurance so that on race day, I can make it to the finish line. 

Well, in the next weeks, I'll share my training experiences. What fitness goal are you working on these days? Here's to your health.
