I did it …..
I did it. Yep it’s true! I’ve signed up for my 2nd half-marathon! Sometimes i think i’m crazy for wanting to walk a half-marathon, but then i realize HEY, i am crazy so it’s okay! haha
I’ll be walking with Jeanette, Dacia, and hopefully Monica!!! I’m so excited
I was so thankful to my sister for walking my first half-marathon with me! It was definitely an experience. I kind of can’t believe i signed up for another one!
I’m definitely going to be sticking to my training plan, unlike with my 1st half-mary, i didn’t follow the training plan so much! I’ll definitely be doing more strength training, and cross training!

The schedule is slightly off, being that the half-marathon is on a Sunday. Some weeks, i might have to change up what i’m doing exercise wise depending on what’s going on. Like, for the Saturday before October 1st is my best friend’s wedding. So the Saturday i’ll be getting LOTSSSSS of cross training in with my dancing at the reception
I’m working right now on getting exercise when i can, but i’ll officially be starting half-marathon training the week of Junee 27th!!! SO EXCITED!!!
Can’t wait to cross that finish line with some blends, and have this amazing feeling all over again

thank you ma’am
It will be so fun to meet you at this race – and what a fun race it sounds like it will be (though I must say I’m wishin’ and hopin’ the Austin hills are held at bay).
Happy Training!!! =)
I know! Can’t wait to meet you! They say the hills shouldn’t be AS BAD as the ones for the Austin Livestrong half-marathon / marathon!
OMG, you are so brave! You are going to rock this!

We are going to rock this half marathon!’ I’m so excited!!
i know
so excited! Can’t wait to welcome you into the half-marathoners club!
Yay!! Thats so exciting, good for you!
I was all signed up for a half marathon once. I was young and stupid, and highly undertrained, but I had every intention of doing it. Then I got crazy sick the day before. I blame my ex boyfriends inability to cover his mouth when he coughs. Im still a little bitter about it.

You should definitely give it another try! I’m undertrained as well, but thank God for training plans!
Britt! You are such an inspiration! I am so happy that I get the chance to walk this half marathon with you. It’s going to be great and this race deadline is a great motivator! We are going to kick butt!!!! Austin has no idea how fabulous we are!

Heather recently posted..How Do You Know When It’s Summer
This is awesome! You’re totally rocking life Brit! Now you’ve got me considering a half marathon. Hmmm….
I saw your training plan for the 1/2 merry and was wondering what does the “CT” stand for? I didn’t realize you could walk 1/2 marathons, I thought you had to run them. Now that I know that I would like to train to enter one myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
Rock it out, sista! You’re going to be great – love this challenge for you!!

[...] Disclosure « I did it ….. [...]
I saw Jeanette’s link to this half and thought “man, that would be great” but I might have some medical reasons not to train like I’d want to so I sort of wrote it off as a pipe dream.
And now, all of a sudden, your post hit me. Duh. I can still WALK the damn thing. I’m starting to get excited here….maybe this IS something I can commit to, even if I can’t commit to running it!
You definitely can do it! I’m a walker! It’s hard work, but totally do able!
