Craziest Goal Yet

Remember a few months ago when I actually ran in a 5k? Well, I want to take that goal farther.

My best friend signed up for the half marathon in New Orleans this February. My first thought was "oh, good for you." The second thought was "I'm going to feel so left out when you accomplish this without me." So, of course I want to do it too now. The only problem is that I have not run, at all, since April.

So in order to accomplish this goal I'll have a lot of work to do. The plan is to start Couch to 5k again. Once I can run 3 miles straight I will start on a half marathon training schedule. I've found two options. The first is 12 weeks, the second is 8 weeks. For the 12 week option I won't have to start until November 22 (my birthday!). The 8 week option would be in December.

Surely I can run 3 miles by late November, right? Because seriously, if my friend goes to NOLA and runs a half while I sit on my butt, it will be a sad day.

You can do it. I'm not sure I can though, I'm still thinking about it. :)
