Two Weeks Away And Counting!

Two weeks from today I will be running my first half marathon (13.1 miles), and I feel good because I am done with my training for this week and now only face one more week of training until the race. With Mondays being my long runs every week the distance increases by a mile, and this last Monday was tough because I reached the 10 mile mark. I persevered and finished my run even though it was at a tortoise's pace, but at least I finished, right? Anyway, I was telling Ryan a few days ago he should buy me a cute outfit for my race day and I tried to use my 10-mile run as a good reason to do so. Well, I have learned to make a deal with him before hand and not after because then I have nothing for leverage (I guess I need to learn to negotiate my kickbacks a little better, huh?). So, I need to come up with a good deal before my 11 miles on Monday. Any ideas?

Impressive goal! Running has never been my thing, but there are lots of other ways I love to keep fit.

I love that you tried to talk him into a new outfit! That's awesome! I would try the same thing for your 11 miles you have to run. New clothes just put a smile on any girls face. Good luck with your runs!

Wow, I am soooo impressed! You're awesome! I think I would die if I tried to run a marathon! Way to go! I'd say "break a leg" but that's not right. LOL. Anyway, good luck with your race! :o)
