25th birthday goal

this is a big deal. bigger than my golden birthday i experienced this year. twenty.five. my quarter century birthday. i always like to make a huge fuss over birthdays because they only happen once a year and the entire day is dedicated to you.

ive been inspired by jenn, who signs up and runs half marathons without hesitation, to sign up myself. together, we will run the lehigh valley half marathon the weekend of my twenty-fifth birthday.

i signed up this morning and there is no turning back. i am in no form, a runner or even athletic, but with a little over 5 months to prepare, i will learn how to run a half marathon. i was reading several blogs on how to train for running marathons and the recurring theme was having the right type of motivation. my motivation is coming from within to prove to myself that i can do this. at 25 i want to be in the best shape of my life, i want to be able to run and not give up after 5 min., i want to look back and say, i once ran a half marathon and it was hard getting there, but i did it.

i have a long road ahead of me, but with the right attitude and the want and the desire to achieve this, i have faith this will be attainable.

wish me luck*
