Goals

I turn 30 this year. Another decade older. And I'm feeling it. So what does every almost 30 year old do? Sign up for a half marathon, of course. Right? Especially when said person is 40 or so pounds overweight and whose body has been through seven pregnancies and five c-sections.  Oh, and who up until 11 months ago hadn't run more than a dozen steps at a time.
Eleven months ago, at 8 weeks postpartum, I began the C25k program. At 30 minutes the times a week it seemed doable. I lost no weight but I gained strength, endurance, and confidence. I am up to running six miles now.
I have a 10k scheduled at the end of April. Then my birthday (dun dun duh) in May. And finally my half in October.
Here's to the journey.
