Almost There...

Well, I pounded out a 12 mile run today, and lived to tell about it :)

I have come a long way since those walk/run days back in January...35 pounds ago. I feel so good now. The big test will be in two weeks when the Snow Canyon Half Marathon will take place. I think I am in good position (Knock on wood) to meet or exceed my goal. That goal is to run 2:10:00 or better and even possibly under 2 hours. I know, that is two goals. But hey, they are goals. The last time I ran a half marathon was back in 2012. I ran it in 2:27:13. So five years later, if I shave 17 minutes or 27 minutes off that time, not to shabby. By the way, back in 1996 I ran a full marathon in 3:45:12.

So we will see, in a couple of weeks, if those goals can be achieved. I have put in the preparation. Now the opportunity is coming. Does this sound like the definition of success? I hope so. Between now and the race, we will be cramming in a trip to Southern California with Kennie and Tracee. I hope to get some beach running in.

This is probably the last post until the next one. Haha. I thought that was funny. It will be the last one until after the race. Until then, happy trails to you.
