I wish the title of this post was refering to my weight loss, but no such luck. I've only lost 3.5 lbs. Losing weight is a slow process I guess- it just seems like there are all these promises out there to lose "10 lbs in two weeks" or "drop a full pant size in 3 days" and here I am two months later and only 3.5 pounds to show for it. Well I'm glad that I have different reasons for running a half marathon than weight lose, becasue I think I would have given up by now if that were the case.
The title actually refers to how many miles I can run in one day now and last Saturday I ran the longest I've run EVER 6 miles- which is almost half of a half marathon. I know it doesn't seem like much to some of you crazy running machines, but it was quite an accomplishment for me. I felt really good, but still couldn't believe after a hour of running I wasn't even to the half way point of what it will be like to run this half marathon. But the training is going well and working me into so I just have to stick with it:). I will be running 8 miles next Saturday- the day of my brothers wedding- so I will be waking very early to do that- wish me luck:)
