It's been several months since I last updated but not long after my last post I relocated for 9 weeks to Great Lakes, IL., and now I'm currently stationed in Pensacola, FL. In the space of 7+ months I shipped off to boot camp for the United States Navy, graduated from boot camp, and set up residence (albeit temporarily) in Florida---my first time living outside of California. Unfortunately, in all the excitement, my big ol' feet actually didn't do much and pretty much took a break. I ended up gaining almost 15 pounds at boot camp and when I finally got to Florida, my ability to run any significant distance diminished quite significantly.
To turn things around, I've started running again, and with a goal. I signed up for my first ever half marathon, which is scheduled bright and early on January 14, 2013. I'm pretty excited and also a little nervous, since the greatest distance I have run this far has been just over 11 miles. I do not have a goal in regards to time; however, I would like to finish and finish by running most (if not all!) of it. I have a training plan from this website, which had a perfectly scheduled 8 week training plan which fits right in with my time frame.
All I can do is keep running!
