So I went and bought the shoes on Saturday and walked past this watch that matched and had to add it to the running accessories. A girl has to look cute...right?
Tonight I put on my sweet shoes and watch and hit the pavement. Jess and I will be run walking three miles, 3!? We will be running at different times due to our schedules and to try and avoid the extreme heat of the day....is it weird that I am really excited about this?
I have set out to do two mini marathons before and made it halfway through training and quit. I had hip or knee issues and the only person I was running for was myself. This time I have made it about my hubs and Indonesia....you really can't let your husband down, and a country....talk about motivation, right? I am also trying to set myself up to win....no excuses. Eating well, down 25 pounds, vitamins and chiropractor to make sure I am all alligned and adjusted. (If you are looking for a chiropractor check out these guys. Wellington Chiropratic. My husband has been so supportive in helping me change my eating habits and focus on my health. (I love my teammate!)
I will check back in tomorrow and let you know how the run goes.

You can do it Emily! Get a Hal Higdon training chart if you don't already have one - that guy works miracles for getting you in shape for races!
Emily!! Congratulations! A half marathon is so doable. A training partner is helpful for the long runs. Each time you hit a milestone… 5, 8, 10 miles you'll gain confidence that you CAN do this! I'd also recommend that you visit Taryn Stone. She is great at keeping your muscles loose and working out the tight muscles! I did the run 10 minutes walk 2 minutes and that was helpful to keep me motivated!! I'll keep up with your progress, I know you can do it!!
