After Christmas David mentioned that he wanted to train for the OC Half Marathon in May. I laughed because...
1. I've never, ever had the desire to run.
2. I didn't think he was serious.
3. Running 'just because' is right up there with getting up early - it's almost a sin in my book.
4. I've never, ever had the desire to run.
But...I figured if he was up for it - I would give it a try. Never did I imagine that we would actually continue past the first week. The first day we went running, I don't think I got much past 1/4 of a mile when I thought I was going to DIE. DIE!! It was horrible. I couldn't breathe- my whole body hurt. The thought of one day running 13+ miles seemed impossible! The next day we went out again- it still didn't feel that great but I didn't feel quite as bad. The next week I could run a mile!
We are now 6 weeks into it. We run 4 times a week anywhere between 2-5 miles and I'm still alive! Amazing! We still have a long way to go but this is definitely a HUGE miracle! The next miracle will be to actually finish the race in May!
