And....I'm Back!

Thought you lost me, didn't ya? Well, you aren't so lucky. I've had to revise the description of my blog. No 25 weeks of training. I'm not sure how long I have. As of right now, the 1/2 marathon in May is out. I finally made it back to the gym after being released by my doctor. It wasn't pretty. It feels like all the progress I'd made up to November was gone. I couldn't even run half a mile. I feel like a failure in so many ways. But, I know it isn't the end of the world. When I look back, I know how long it took for me to be able to run that half mile and I know it won't take as long to do it this time. Then, I'll just have to work my way back up, then keep on going. And you know what? I'm ok with it. All I have is time. There will be plenty of half marathons for me to sign up for. I do still plan on doing one before the year is over. I also still plan on running my 500 miles. I'd love to be in the "Tall Mom's Club" in which they run 1000+ miles a year, but maybe some other year. So, it's back to running/walking and cross training. I'll probably add in some Shred, as much as I hate it. Those 500 miles are going to run themselves.
