2/1 Training Begins…

change

… like every other time I lace up my shoes and get out the door.

I probably haven’t run this far continuously without more than a 1 minute walking break in between the 2 minute runs since May 2012 when I ran my last 5k race.

But you’ve got to start somewhere.

2.12 MILES OF A RUN and I tried to incorporate as many hills and long stretches of gradual inclines as I possibly could.

There was one 2/1 section of running I just wasn’t able to complete. I ended up walking the last 15 seconds or so of the running interval.

Doesn’t matter.  What matters is that I’ve got 25 days till I’m standing at the Pgh Marathon Relay Exchange waiting to run my 3.5 mile leg.

That photo is true – running has changed my life. It didn’t make it easier. Or more fun. Some days it made it more challenging and those weren’t the RACE days.

But after two years of being on this ‘running’ journey – there’s over 675 athletic miles on my body.

If that doesn’t make you feel gratitude, nothing ever will.

And I do…
