And it begins...

So, if you know me well... then you know that I like to challenge myself in crazy ways. Unless I am drowning in all the things I need to do-- I am unhappy. Having endless time to do whatever I want drives me completely insane. I can't deal with it. So, since going into the last semester of grad school, working at least 24 hours a week at my internship, working on my thesis project, volunteering, serving on a steering committee, and being a wife doesn't take up all my time. I have decided to start training for a half-marathon! I know it's crazy... and part of me still thinks I can't do it... which is where this blog comes in. I need accountability. I need the support of my friends and family. I need the fear of failling and everyone knowing about it...lol. So I ask that you follow-up with me and ask me how my training is going. I ask that you be understanding when I can't go out for drinks on Friday night because I have to wake up at 7am to run 5 miles! In short, I am starting this blog to get support, have accountability-- AND to also document my progress! They say (my trainer and other runners) that this journey will "change my life blah blah blah"-- so I want to be able to document the markers of my journey. I also hope to be able to take pictures of the various running trails in the Bay Area and of any other interesting things that happen along the way... so stay tuned... and wish me luck!
