Week one of {Half} Marathon Training...

Is in the books!!!!

So here are a few things I learned:

• When you plan to go for a run, don't forget any necessary equipment, or else you will have to power walk instead
• On that note, power walking is a valid way to spend 30 minutes of training because learning to walk faster is better than walking slower
• Its okay to admit to your running buddies that you had to power walk your first day of training because you forgot to change into your sports bra (see the first bullet point)
• Your husband will possibly lap you on your 3-miler. So, when we comes up behind you and speaks near your shoulder, don't freak out...too much
• After taking more than a month and a half off, expect to lose some speed
• If you cheer your running buddies on when they get started on their running journey, they will do the same for you when you take a month and a half off and are nervous about running again
• And lastly, don't take a month and a half off

Over all, it was a good week. I have some ground to regain, but I am up for the challenge. Plus, my most favorite running buddy is off the injured list. Happy to be running with you again, my dear:-)

Here is what's in store for Week 2:

Monday: Cross training = 30 minutes of kickboxing at 9Round Bentonville
Tuesday: 30 minute run
Wednesday: Cross Training at 9Round
Thursday: 30 minute run
Friday: Cross training at 9Round
Saturday: 4 miles

Wish us luck:-)
