1/2 Marathon

I did it!  I signed up for the Bryce Canyon 1/2 Marathon!  I'm really excited about it and really nervous at the same time.  My sister in law Emily Albrecht did the Bryce Canyon half last summer and I have been wanting to do a half marathon ever since.  I know it sounds crazy because I am definitely not the typical runner, but luckily I have friends and family that have done half and full marathons and have inspired me to get off my lazy butt and get in shape too!  So I started my 12 week training schedule this week and so far so good.....of course my long run is only 4 miles this week......but I'm feeling good so far.  Over the next 12 weeks I'm really going to try and eat healthy too.  It is crazy how much better I feel, and how much more energy I have when I am running, IF I have eaten healthy foods.  When I have had a bunch of junk or over eaten, I really have a hard time running and it is hard for me to breathe.

So here is to eating healthy, losing a few pounds, and hopefully running my butt off.  Seriously, these saddle bags of mine have got to go!

Does anybody want to run the Bryce Canyon 1/2 with me? Come on, it will be fun! Check out brycecanyonhalfmarathon.com if you are interested.  here  Oh and the race is mostly down hill!  That was what enticed me the most:) haha
