Redemption!

I've redeemed myself for mileage this week. Ran 2 two milers today!!! Thats the second day i've run four miles. May not be all together but its a start. And I'm improving. Both runs were strong and i think quick. Only walked about a minute in between them.

Found a great book today, had time to dawdle and peruse, i was all on my own (think taking a bit of chocolate cake mmmm). I highly recommend it, of course i only skimmed it but i laughed out loud lots. Its called "The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women - Get off your butt and on with your training." by Dawn Dais. 

I keep thinking about it and I might just add it to my goals for 2011...to possibly run a half marathon in June. As a celebratory something (I'm sure I'll find something) along with my birthday. Its a big big goal, something I didn't even think would be possible even a month ago. But all i'd have to do is keep running (hah its so easy right) and add a mile each month to my weekly long run and I'd be there. I ran it by hubby (his ironman mind will mention it to me here and there and that may or may not spark further interest in it).

So for now, I will keep running and we will see.

Off to pack for Hubby's Pigman Race tomorrow (same distance as the half iron man but local). Should be lots of fun. Weather is to be fairly nice, slightly warm and muggy but sunny. : )

Also gotta do my two miler tomorrow night.

Note to Self: How did i go from improving 5k's straight to potential half marathon? I think I'm missing a couple of 8k/10ks in there.
