Half Marathon

I'm training to run a half marathon on Sep. 21st.

It's the first ever Canada Army Run. The proceeds go to support the Military Families Fund and CF Soldier On.

I walked a half 2 years ago, and I'm excited to do ths one with some actual running. I've been training for four full weeks now. Today was my first 3 mile run. It took me 50 mins total. I've gone from being able to jog for 1 min at a time to ten mins straight. Today I took it slow and my longest stretch was only 7 minutes. However, I finished strong and was able to keep up my running on and off for the whole run.

I have 70 days till the race and my first goal is to finish. My second goal is to finish in under 3:30. When I walked it, I finished in 4:09. That is my current goal, and I will re-evaluate and update as I get closer to race day.

For now, I'm pretty excited.
