Plans.....

After my son ran a untrained half marathon last Saturday, he's encouraged me to think about running organized runs....After all its been two years that I have been running, mostly Trail runs and the most I've run to date is 16 km ( 9.9 miles ) ~ he says its such fun and something I have to experienced.

Yesterday I bought a German Running magazine to see where the organized runs are for May and June...

The first one is Saturday 7th May and in the next town.

I can't miss that one. I can chose the 5, 10 or 12.5km runs....

I spoke to hubby and told him I want to do this and will he please encourage and support me...

Of course he said YES....so he went online to see where to from here.

Seems you register the day of the race, which starts at 2pm.

So thats going to be my first organized race....I'm going to speak to the other girls tomorrow night when I give them a Kettlebell workout...if they feel its too soon, I will do it on my own....Ipod and me.....and off we go.

So that's my goal for now ~ I want to run a half marathon before I turn 50.....

Then early September ( I will be 49 ) the same town has a Marathon, half marathon and a walk planned....I'm going to set that as my goal for this year....to run the half marathon.

Up till then will look to run shorter distance and train.

Today I can also say that I am finally back on track with my eating after having a little too much to eat of the * wrong * stuff, over the Easter weekend.
