Last fall, I finally started running again. I used to be an avid runner when I lived in FLorida. Infact, I was in the best shape of my life back then. Anyways, in order to get myself motivated I decided to sign up for a series of 3 races during March called the Triple Crown. From October until March I slowly progressed in my training regimen until it was time for the races! March 1st was a 5K (3.1 miles), March 15th was a 10K (6.2 miles), and March 29th was a 10-miler. Praise the Lord I not only completed my intial goal (which was to finish each race), I actually ran the whole way without stopping! Since I did so well in the Triple Crown I decided to sign up for the Louisville Derby miniMarathon (13 miles), which is scheduled for April 26th. I'm really excited about this race because my parents are going to come watch! I'll make sure to post pictures of that one too. After the marathon I plan to purchase a road bike and begin training for a duathalon (which involves biking and running), along with completing a few more short distance running races this summer. Running and cycling are such good sports to get involved with. They not only keep you in shape, but they are also fun! Feel free to join me as I train!
