Well. I did it. I know I could've reached my goal about a week ago but I've been waiting. I did 13.5 miles. That's .4 miles over my goal. I finally reached it today on my long run. And I am tired. I'm achy and tired. I'm in bed knowing that waking up in the morning I'll feel like an 80 year old.
Saturday was a very fun run. I ran in the rain and I wanted to keep going forever. It was a fulfilling run. Also gave me a good reason to break out my neon yellow running sweater. It has a right hoodie that made me feel like I'm wearing a swimmers cap but it was surprisingly very comfortable.
I am ecstatic. Three months ago if you told me I'll be able to run a half marathon I would have laughed. I am so happy. This isn't just a goal I've reached and now can stop. I'm addicted to running , and I think this is a life long commitment, a change.
BUT I still have to work on the diet change. weekends come along and I just lose all control. I had so much Italian food. Every 3 hours I had a different Italian meal I kid you not. I had chicken and eggplant parm at 3:30 in the morning. It's just not good for me and I know I'll have to change that. Slow and steady.
