It's getting really close to the Titanium Girl Challenge! The first part is the Iron Girl Half Marathon on April 29, and then followed by the Frederick Running Festival on May 6. My friend Renee is running the FRF with me, but the Iron girl I will be flying solo. Really hoping they have pace groups! I found that the pace group at Cherry Blossom really helped me.
With the challenge on the horizon, I am starting to plan my race schedule & training leading up to the big day. 26.2!
A couple of people recently asked me what training method I follow. Mine. Lol. I read alot on the internet, different theories, different schedules, etc and then make my own. Most importantly I listen to my body. I am not going to run just because the schedule says so if I am hurt. Because then I will be hurt even more. And I cross train. I do classes at the gym, mostly cycle and yoga right now, but sometimes I do things like the eliptical. When I devise my summer months training I will share them here. I tweak it often, and realize it's a plan, and sometimes the plan just doesn't happen!
Last weekend I did 14! It had a few roucgh miles, but a few awesome miles. All in all it was a good run!!!!!
In June 2011 I decided to partake in a journey that would change my life in ways that I could not imagine.
Running.
Heavier than I had ever been, I decided to stop playing games with myself, with my life. If I continued on the path I was on, I would be unhappy for the rest of my life. I have two beautiful little girls that deserve to have their mother around for many many many years. I want to make them proud. I want to teach them to be healthy, active, happy. I signed up for my first ever 5k, Oct 15, 2011. I downloaded the C25k app on my phone, and after summer vacation, I hit the road. At 208 lbs.

Fast forward to August 2014. Heavier than I even was before, and stopped running. Time to stop making excuses and get serious!
