Running and Running.And.Runnninng

Happy 2012!

I've got a lot on my plate this year. I have my last semester of school. One of my teachers has been known to fail seniors in their last semester. I am a little worried but I'm working to pull through. I am also planning my wedding (YAY). I think I am more on top of things than I think I am. I finally found my dress last Saturday, my reception place is booked, the temple is reserved, I have a photographer for all but the day of my actual wedding. I am excited for all of this stuff to happen and be over. These are all kind of alot to take on but I must have thought, hey I don't have enough to do because I agreed to run a half marathon with a friend of mine. You may think, "back out now!" Well I've already registered and paid my money so I am going to do it.

I am in my 5th week or so of training. I am getting to the point where I know I need to get up and run but the idea of running on a treadmill just sucks all energy out of me. Running outside in 20-30 degree weather doesn't really tickle my fancy much either. There is an indoor track that has an oval ice track and some hockey "fields" inside of it. That I can run on for 60-90 minutes and be distracted enough with the hockey games, world speed skating events, or random people ice skating. This week it is closed and it's driving me crazy. So far the longest and farthest I have run is 8.71 miles in 90 minutes. =) pretty proud of that... however I think I may lose a toenail or two =/

Just wanted to give a quick update =0)

did you develop your own training program/running schedule or did you find one somewhere and adapt it to fit you?

I found one and kind of adapted it. Moved some of the days around. Mine is basically a run/walk program but I usually run most of it (unless I am on the treadmill I get so bored running on that thing).
