This is my first official post! I want to start off by documenting my goals.
I want to get my average running time down by 2 Minutes! Yes by 2 Minutes!! I am not sure if that is physically possible, but I am from the city that brought you the greatest underdogs of all time–Rocky and the Philadelphia Eagles. If they can make their dreams come true I can too.
I have been running on and off through out the summer, but I want this week to be my first serious week of training. The Half Marathon I am training for is only 15 Weeks away! So its time to take this seriously. Below are my goals for the week. I did run today (Go Me!). My goal was 2.5 and I ran 2.25. Just under what I wanted my goal to be. I don’t want to make excuses, but it was pretty humid today and I had 3 slices of left over pizza for lunch.
I guess a pro of having this blog is facing the excuses I make for myself in training. I will leave you all with the inspirational quote below. Hopefully it will inspire me to not pay attention to the pebbles in my shoes.
It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe. – Muhammad Ali
