Running in December

I never thought that I would be writing about running but I am trying to get ready for the Half-Marathon that I decided to sign up for... WHAT WAS I THINKING?!? I figured I had the most motivation to run right now because obviously I want to look hot on my wedding day. So I figured if I am in the spirit I have always wanted to run a Half-Marathon. Why you ask? So that I can put that cool 13.1 sticker on the back of my car!! I know you think I am crazy but I have wanted that sticker for over two years and I just have a mental demon in my head that keeps telling me that I can't do it. But as long as there is no injuries I am going to run no matter what and hopefully finish the darn thing even if some people finish their marathon before I finish my half. So what, right?

So I went on another run last night. I hadn't run in two days and boy can I tell. I started struggling before I got to .5 mile marker. It is weird that happens almost every time I run. For whatever reason I have to get over a hump before I find a groove and can run. So I only completed 2 miles. Yeah not so good and I did it in 23:16. The race volunteers are going to have to bring some flashlights to get me to the finish line. The weather doesn't help either. It is a little cold with a nasty mist rain. UGH.. .tough weather to perform in! :)

Now I also have had arm issues for years. They are just not pretty and a bit flabby for my liking. So I have been doing Power Sculpt with Jillian Michaels and boy is it intense. I think it was extra hard last night because I was exhausted from my run. But I got it done and can feel a little burn this morning. Although I am sticking with it, I need to step up my game since my Marathon ticker on my blog has just moved to the under 2 month mark!!! AHHH!!! It is so close to the time and I am so busy with wedding plans. I didn't realize planning a wedding around Xmas was going to be so busy.
