härter arbeiten!!!!

My dad sent me a 12-week training program to follow leading up to the Half-Marathon in September. It includes runs of 10 miles+. I can do this right?

In other news, my run today was about 3 miles! So I can do a 5k. I’m running tomorrow and going to do another 3 mile run. 

Weird I’m training for a race. But LET’S DO THIS. 

I have 119 days, 13 hours, and 15 minutes as of this post to train for the Chicago Half-Marathon in September. 

I don’t know what’s gotten into me but I like it. Time to get motivated and get myself in shape!

I can do this, right?

Goals before the half:

1. Run 2 miles straight in about 18min or less

2. Run a 5K race

3. Run more than 5 miles straight

4. Run a 10K race

5. Run 8 miles 

6. Run 10 miles

7. Run the half-marathon 

LET’S DO THIS

I have my alarm set to wake up at 9:00am on a morning/day I have zero classes to wake up and go for a run then start my day with studying.

WHO HAVE I BECOME? Is this what adulthood feels like?

Whatever this is, I like it. Let’s keep it going.
