It is official, I’ve signed for the Federick’s Half Marathon in MD on May 4. Yay! LOL.
I think I am going to be in trouuuubleeee… they said it takes about 16 weeks to be in shape and ready to run a full and/or half marathon… would 16 days be a good equivalent? LOL LOL
So why am I doing it? For three specific reasons (not in importance of order):
- Because I want to get out of my lazy mood and get in a constant training mood and be motivated. Once I sign into something and have paid $65!!!! You bet I’ll take my behind to the place, show up, and try to do something! LOL.
- I want to get points torwards the Blue Ridge Cup… AND I am going to sign for the Baltimore Half Marathon so I can complite the “Double Dare” and get a little extra medal… awww how cute! LOL.
- I always wanted to run a half marathon. My ex used to run one each month and I thought that was crazy and admirable and really got me into “you can do it” but I really never did it, but this is a new year and it is time for me to stop with excuses and do it!
Would I be able to run the full half marathon? Gosh I hope so but I know at least I can run half of it before walking LOL LOL I don’t want to walk the whole thing! I have some pride! Plus you need to keep a 14 min mile pace if not they will take you out of the race!
I want to do some kind of running race every month. Mtn biking around here is though… I am supposed to go to some rides with my friend Jim but probably end up with other cross training like road biking… BTW, I really want to go to Utah or/and Colorado and do my serious mtn biking trip…
So there you have it! I’ve been good at going to the gym and running… although my eating is getting so messed up still having no furniture and cooking stuff (yes still no furniture, no tv, etc… I think I’ll have everything back or bought when I am ready to move out of my apt LOL).
Till then keep on training! Oh yeah and tonight GO LADIES VOLS!

After days (or weeks or months) of complaining about Harrisburg’s weather yesterday afternoon was the difference I’ve been waiting…
I came out from work and it was sunny, blue skies, and warm… yes warm! I almost had to pinch myself to make sure I was not dreaming…It was actually a reality! It was a perfect (if it is such a thing as perfection) afternoon… it finally felt like spring!
I went back to my sanctuary = apartment (btw still no furniture and I might not have some in sometime… that’s another story but let’s put it this way BillMeLater is the worse, liars, criminals company in the net!) and changed into my running clothes… put my running-training shoes on and hit the road!
I crossed my street and started to run along the river… crossed an old bridge to City Island…came back to Downtown… ran more along the river… overall I did one hour! That’s probably the longest I’ve ran in a while or at least since I moved up here.
Everyone was out enjoying the beautiful afternoon… runners… bikers… walkers… people walking their dogs… couples holding hands… I really was happy!
Today the weather has changed again. It is very windy and chill… the weather here is so strange, can change so easily… But regardless of I am still happy for such a beautiful afternoon yesterday! Tonight I am hitting the gym… thus far I’ve managed to run Monday and Tuesday so gym tonight. I’ve been waking up early each day this week thinking “I’m going running” but the morning is cold that I just jumped back to bed… ahhhh lazy… but I hope I will get this “running in the morning” routing in my system so I can really get back in shape to do more…
