Way back in May, I signed up for the St. Jude half marathon in Memphis. I've recently signed up for the Little Rock half marathon, so the training MUST begin. I'm terrible at training! I've hardly (almost never) ran ALL summer. It's just too effing hot! I was going to start the last week of August, but the highs were in the 100s all week with very high humidity. Screw that! I said I would start this week and then my allergies decided to act up. I can barely breath or I'm blowing my nose constantly. However, I talked myself into it tonight though. The weather is perfect! All week the highs are in the 80s and lows in the 60s. Anyways, I only went 2.8 miles but I figure that is better than nothing. Right?
I wish I could run on the treadmill. Training would be so much easier because I wouldn't depend on the weather. Cold doesn't bother me but in the heat I can't breathe. Back to treadmills... For some reason after my back surgery, anytime I run on a treadmill my foot goes numb after about 3 miles and it takes twice the effort. Treadmills are boring too, or at least I think so.

This is me after my first 10K last year. My first half marathon was by mistake. I didn't see an option to choose between the half and 10K, so I just proceeded. When I received my email confirmation it said category: half marathon. Since I had been training for several 10Ks I decided to suck it up and do it. I finished in 2 1/2 hours! I was very proud of myself.
