There are many things that need to be done in preparation for race day. The first on my list was to attend one of the two informational meetings for the Lead Strong Half Marathon. This is where the majority of my questions were answered. Well, I really only had one: "CAN I DO THIS??"
LEAD Strong has put together a 12 week program of critical training that I will need to complete my goal of crossing that finish line. The program has been set up so that three days a week for twelve weeks, we slowly tack more miles on to prepare for the big day. The other days during the week are set up for core/strength/cardio training. Burdick Hall provided a list of all of the free classes they offer, including yoga, Tigerlaties, spinning, and kickboxing classes.
I'm not going to lie to you, I'm nervous about running this half marathon. I've said before-I'm athletic and love to work out, but this is definitely stepping out of my comfort zone.
I was laying in bed last night thinking my last thoughts before I closed my eyes and said good bye to February 10 and I realized that running 13 miles is something I never dreamed I would do. For that matter, going back to finish college was something I never thought I would do and look at me, here I am!
Could it really be--if I put my mind to something, I can do it??
I think you can do this!
