Christmas is finally over! I usually am o.k. with the holidays but this year was a little different. I was removing ornaments and taking down the tree the day after the Christmas. So now my attention is completely focused on training for a half marathon. In the past, I've completed 6 miles without a whole lot of struggle so I figured what's another 6 or 7? Ha Ha you are all probably saying. On a serious note this is something that I've wanted to do for quite some time so why not this year? I actually tried to find reasons but none of them were good enough. So about 5 1'2 long weeks ago I started training for this race that is going to take place in April. I was finding it difficult to complete 13 minutes on the treadmill let alone 13 miles. So I started to push myself and I am finally running 3 miles a day. The great news is that I have a support team. My brother in law Alain is going to being running with me. Well he's going to be running, he's already running 5-6 miles a day and at a much faster pace then myself but at least we can drive together. The even more unfortunate news is that I am still waking up every morning 30 minutes before everyone else and running my 3 miles. I sound a little like I am fighting myself to do this and I just might be. But when it's all over and I make it to the finish line it will all be worth it! Wish me luck!
