Endurance...

..I finally have some.  I've been wanting to do a 1/2 marathon for forever and now I'm going to do it.

I was huge into running before I started having kids but it's always been on the back burner due to a ton of excuses...endurance being the biggest one.  I just couldn't seem to push myself past the three mile mark.  Anyways,  in January I committed to start running again.  I couldn't even do a mile without walking and got super frustrated so I ended up doing the "Insanity" program on my sister and brother-in-laws recommendation.  And let me just pause and put a plug in for that one.  It's wicked.  BUT completely awesome.  I started seeing results (especially in the endurance department) within days.  I went from only being able to do 3 push ups to 15 in 30 days.  I went for a run about 1/2 through the 60 day program and killed it.  I was able to run 2 1/2 miles without much effort.  It was exhilarating.  I've been running every day since and am up to 6 1/2 miles. 

I run with a friend and we have a great time.  We are signing up for the November Shun The Sun Marathon in Mesa.  Come and join us!
