Last night I began my journey of training for my half marathon in May. I am really late and according to the training schedule that Disney has made I should be running 9 miles, and to be honest yesterday I had a hard time completing just one. I spent 30 minutes of my treadmill and managed a distance of 1 mile at 2.5 miles per hour. It isn't anything to brag about, but I am proud to have found the motivation to begin again.
After feeling like my efforts in 2014 were a failure I have decided to do my best to push that disappointment and continue running anyway. I spent 2014 running in an attempt to improve my health and by the end of the year I was worse off than when I started. I am hoping that I will still be able to improve my condition with this exercise.
It is my goal to be at a 5 MPH pace by the time I get to my first 5k May 1st. I am participating in the Expedition Everest 5k at Disney World with a good friend of mine. I am confident the 5k won't be a problem. Even the 10k the following week should be no problem. It is the half marathon I am most concerned with, and just the follow up of doing all of these things back to back.
I have 2 months to prepare for this 21 mile weekend, I am going to need your luck!
