The thought of a half marathon actually crossed my mind yesterday. At the beginning of the year a 5K, 3.1 miles seemed so daunting. But now a 13.1 mile run, is kind of appealing for a couple of reasons.
1. I LOVE to run.
2. How many people can say they have ran a half marathon? (not too many people I know, at least)
3. It's something that I never thought I could do.
4. It's way out of my comfort zone.
5. It's something I will really have to push my body through, and I like the challenge.
6. I love the feeling of accomplishment.
I am contemplating trying to start training for a 10k (6.2miles) then after I run a few 1ok's maybe, just MAYBE, I will venture on to half marathons, and who knows from there?
Who would of thought, that one little tiny resoultion to run one 5K would turn into a desire to push myself farther and harder?
First things first before ANY long runs, I have to get my knee in order. If 3 miles can cause me this much problems with my knee, who knows what 6+ miles would do. I go to an orthopedic Dr. on the 21st of this month, but for now I will stick with my 5K's. =)
