"Run Forrest Run!!"

So my blog is going to go for a wee overhaul soonish (like when Hubby has time to fix my fumblings on here!)! I want to start blogging a bit more about Running!! Yup!! I RUN!! Albeit slowly (im suprised no ones pulled over and offered to call me an ambulance really!), but any running is still running!!

The same friend who gave me a boot up the bum to get healthy has given me The Bug!!  If you noticed my wee addition of the Weighty Run section on my blog, you'll see that she's already encouraged/goaded me into a few shorties, but now....Dun dun duuuh....I'm in training for a Marathon!!
Now, dont get me wrong, im nowhere near ready for a marathon at the mo, and i'm not planning to attempt one til next year!!  I'm currently just working on technique and building up strength and stamina, which is a slow but satisfying task that will pay off in the long run!!

So The Training!!

We're currently modifying this 10 week training programme
to make it fit for a half, but i'm still not sure if i'm up for the challenge!!  After discussing, googling and bloggy stalking about it, i'v discovered that it's not just a physical thing, it's also a mental thing!!  If your not in the mind set needed for that kind of run, it's just not going to work!!  So tomorrow i'v convinced Hubby to walk 22km with me, just a casual walk, so that i can get a feel for just how long a distance it is!!  Crazy much??  Yup!  But i want the challenge!!  This is the start of an adventure and im going to see it through til the end!!  Whether or not i decide to do the 1/2 or 1/4 in March, the bottom line is that i will eventually run a Full Marathon,  No matter what!!



So check in tomorrow to see how our wee walk has gone, and what i've concluded about my run in March!!  Feel free to share any advice you may have about the whole Running thing!!  I'l take any help  can get!!  Right, i'm off to see if i can rearrange my blog without Hubby's help!!....If my blog suddenly disappears off the radar you know why!!


Toodles!!  :)
