Yeah! My training for the half marathon has begun. I've run 3 days this week, only short runs but that's where I'm at right now. I plan to do another mile tomorrow and then a 2 mile on Saturday. It's been tough getting out of bed and onto the road this past week but it's been worth it. I feel so much better when I'm running :)

Here is my running schedule for the next few months (CT = cross train), my days are a little off because of my work schedule but overall this is the plan I'm going to stick to. I'm looking forward to the race so much! My goal is to run the entire thing and to not finish dead last :)
