training

I am training to run the Pocono Mountain Run for the Red Half Marathon Relay on May 20th!

The funny part is that I have never even ran in a race before, let alone half marathon! I used to be a solo runner and would get bored running over 4 miles. Then last spring I started running with my boyfriend and adding more miles … I loved it! My inspiration is my dad. At 78 years old, he runs or walks almost every day. He has many medals and trophies from 5Ks, 10Ks, half and full marathons. He truly loves to run! I’m not in it to win any medals, I just want to run 13.1 miles. My goal is to cross the finish line (injury-free) alongside my dad, brother, sister, brother-in-law, and boyfriend. It will be a family affair with my mom cheering us on! My dad and brother have run marathons together, and my brother-in-law (with a pacemaker) and sister have run half marathons together. Me??? I have always worked out as though I am training for something – so I might as well give it shot!

Wish us luck!
