Today is the big day. My first half marathon. I have been training {for about a week and a half}. I am one of those responsible procrastinators. I work best under pressure. I will get the job done but I have to wait until the last minute to work most efficiently.
I was able to put in a couple of 10 mile runs this last week. I learned after my first one that you should not stop to drink ten gallons of water no matter how good it tastes. I am pretty sure I heard someone say, “save some for the whales.”
And I have been trying to eat a clean diet…avoiding those delicious foods that tend to send me to the bathroom one too many times. ;)
Anyways, I am super excited and a bit nervous. My goal is to run/jog the whole time…no walking. I think I can do it. And of course my handy husband will be taking lots of photos so I will update you on how it went.
Wish me luck! xxoo
Oh! Hope it goes (went) well!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Ashley! I can barely run to the end of my (short) driveway without passing out, so I am very impressed by marathon (or half marathon) runners. :)
ReplyDeleteYay for you! I just ran my first one a few weeks ago and the feeling was AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you.. I'm going to attempt my first 5k this summer...at 49,..this will be a first for me.. Know you will succeed!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! So awesome that you are doing this!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I have always wanted to run a half marathon but I am not brave enough... I would need a year to train :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you! :) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! I know you can do it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I grow up I wanna be like you :)
Good luck! I am starting a learn to run program this week! I can't wait to see the pics!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!! I can't wait to hear how you did!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!!
ReplyDeleteI hope the weather is fabulous for you!
xoxo
OMGosh.....I had my first (and only) last April. I am soooooo happy for you! I hope you do a post on it!
ReplyDeleteGo you! That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI hope it went well, Ashley! I'm impressed that you did a few 10 mile runs in one week, and hope the preparation pays off! After I did my first one, I couldn't wait to run a full (which I NEVER would have imagined thinking or saying before), so curious to see if you have the same reaction. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think you may have already run this so instead of "good luck" I will say 'well done" Ashley! Good for you for doing it. Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI hope you made it!
ReplyDeleteOh I AM jealous! I did one when the last babe was---oh about 5 mos old! Never felt more femine & STRONG. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI bet you did great--& oh I haven't had a *real* run since....unless you count chasing after the now nearly 2yo. ;-)
My husband ran that distance yesterday--I'm SO green w/ envy. seriously.
Good job girl!!!
