Since Jose trains so much and we are so involved in this whole Ironman "thing", well, what can I say..... It is quite contagious all this exercise. I have been running for a few months again and have completed some short distance races. The furthest I have ran during my training is 9 miles and I felt really good afterwards. So, I thought, what the heck. Just go for it! It has been a long time since my "first" and "last" half marathon (San Dieguito 2006 with Jose), but I want to do it again. I think with some additional training on my speed, I can complete this Half Marathon within the 3 hours required. (Yikes, I hope!!) I am going to try really hard so keep your fingers crossed for me!! Jose is totally supportive and really thinks I can do this. I have lost 10 pounds since I started running back on April 13th (I keep a log) and hopefully by the time this race comes around I will have lost another 10. I am going to try really hard!! It is difficult though to loose those last few pounds. Whew!! Well, I am nervous as heck, but once this time rolls around, you will hopefully be reading a positive experience from me on this blog. This time it is Daddy's turn to cheer on the side lines with the kids. God knows I am going to need all the cheering I can get ;0)
Cheers from Sunny San Diego!!
