Half-Marathon Training Update

(The picture above is of my running at the end of my triathlon...don't you see the pain in my face. Tamber= not a runner)

Me, A runner?!? That is what I keep asking myself. To me it seems odd. It has never really been something that I have enjoyed or anticipated in my weekly routine.

But, that is why I decided to do something different, to challenge myself physically and mentally. I have always been up for a good challenge. No matter what I expected when I started training for this half marathon, my body still seems to amaze me. I think in the back of my head I doubted myself in ways. Mostly because of past joint problems in my knees, but it is almost like my body is thriving off of the adrenalin. I always thought that people who described a runners high were crazy. Now I know for myself that it exists.

I am starting to up my Saturday runs and challenge myself a little more.

Here is a record of how much and what I have been running.

Some days have been harder than others to get out the door, but I have not once regretted a run. 85 days and counting.

Love, Tamber
