This blog started out as a place to record my half marathon training and running experiences. When I first decided to run, I looked around on the Internet for any examples of a complete nonrunner succeeding at finishing a half. I found little snippets, but I wanted to know it all---the good, the bad, the ugly. Since I never really found a "start to finish account", I posted it all here--what my training was supposed to look like vs. what it actually did (often quite different!), my horrible first half, my tolerable second, and my enjoyable third.The "running phase" of my life is on hold for at least the next 9 months because I'm:
I know some people run throughout their pregnancies. Good for them. I will not be in that crowd. I am following a walking program, but it's too boring to post about--which must be why I've neglected this blog so much lately.While I first began blogging about all things running, along the way, I posted recipes I liked, talked about my family, my vacations, and all my cutie pie nieces and nephews. What I've loved about blogging is the opportunity to write--about nothing and everything. I also love that I have a written record of the last year. I've not been successful at journaling as an adult so this is my "virtual journal" of sorts.
So I've decided to keep blogging, but to start the slate clean. Maybe I'll start running again and pick this thing back up one day. If not, I'll leave it here as proof for some poor old out of shape gal that if I can do it, anyone can do it. Seriously...
If you want to follow me, my new blog is here. Farewell...for now at least!
