Today officially kicks off training for the Rock N' Roll USA Half Marathon, otherwise known as the National Half Marathon. This will be my second half marathon and I am hoping training goes much better than last time.
When training for the Baltimore Half Marathon I moved to Baltimore and started going to a new college. Subsequently, training really took the back seat as I was getting settled into my new surroundings.
I knew it was going to be really difficult to get in quality runs while trying to study for finals so I decided to start training after finals were done and I was home for the holiday break. I don't go back to school until the end of January so I will have already established a solid base before heading back to school.
And going back to school this time will not be a significant as it was in August. I already have a few running routes mapped out and I know when I am most likely to actually get my runs in.
I am really excited to start training again. I loved running the Baltimore Half and I know I can absolutely crush that time and have just as much fun with some real training.
This is so exciting! I have been thinking I have plenty of time to chill before I train and just last week I studied a calendar and realized it's only like 12 weeks away!! Glad you have your act together more than I do haha. CAnt wait to read about your progress!
ReplyDeleteYay! My training officially kicked off yesterday - but it's still in the really short run phase so it's just what I was running on my own.
