Week 1: Half marathon training

YAY! Week 1 of training for my half marathon is done. I think this was the hardest part to get through. The reason for that is trying to get motivated to exercise again after getting back from an amazing winter break .... And especially when it's 30 degrees outside and the inside of your room seems to look so much better than going outside.

But I got through it!! I've only ran a couple of miles, just to get me back into running mode.. and it's been inside the gym on the track or treadmill. I know, I know.. I'm supposed to be training outside, but it's SOOO cold! I can't do it... well, yet. I know I'll have to eventually.

The half marathon I'll be running in is in Cincinnati and it's called The Flying Pig Marathon. It's going to be in May so I'm training early because I've never ran longer than mm.. probably 3 miles in my life (and that's kind of exaggerating). I really want to make running a part of my daily routine. Every time I see a jogger on the street, they seem so at peace with their lives.. I want that.
 
So today I got some new running shoes!!! The guy was really nice and helped me find the right pair for my feet. (Side note: he told me it was totally normal that my feet were slightly different sizes, yay-uhhhh, I'm not weiiirddd!).

I wish they weren't pink, I HATE pink, but it's the only color they had. Plus, it makes up with it's pretty awesome name.. the New Balance Ghost.. how cool is THAT!!???

Wish me luck on my training!
