Let The Torture Begin!

February 19, 2011 by kselz

Well, I started my half-marathon training this morning. OMG! What was I thinking? Why did I sign up for a half-marathon? I have not done any serious running since my last half-marathon and that was so long ago that I am not going to calculate how long ago it was.

I ran 3 miles this morning because I have a 5K scheduled for next Saturday. One week from now. Surely in one week I will be able to run without jarring every bone in my body with every step.

My half-marathon isn't until September 4 so this is only the start of my training – let the torture begin!

P.S. – Don't forget – leave a comment on this post and each post published from February 18 to 25 to be entered in the latest Tennis Fixation giveaway! Click on this post – Happy 300th Tennis Fixation Post and Giveaway! – for all of the details.

    All the best. You can do it. I am also preparing for one which I will be running in October. The Nike running website is a great help. Check it out.
