Remember the other day, when I said I had some big news I wanted to announce. Well here we go…
I’ve signed up to run the Maryland Half Marathon!
Now, I consider that to be pretty big news, but it might not seem as huge when you consider that I’m already set to run the Baltimore Marathon.
Well, the Baltimore Marathon is in October. The Maryland Half Marathon is only 6 weeks away, on May 23rd…
…WHOA!
No worries though, I got this! I feel that the training will be a great way to help me kick my running up notch, and it will be a great way to see where I can stand in regards to being able to run its full sized brother. I’ve already started running more, in fact so far I’m April I’ve run 49 miles, compared to running 51 miles in all of March, 21 miles in February, and 52 miles in all of January. Last weekend I tried out a “long run”, and ran 11.82 miles. They weren’t the fastest 11.82 miles, but I hope the speed will come in time.
Anyway, a cool thing about the MD Half Marathon is that there are fundraising opportunities. The race is to benefit the University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center, and I have set up a donation page here. Contributions are not necessary, but would be greatly appreciated. I’d like to raise at least $500, but anymore than that would be beyond awesome!
Thank you in advance for your support, and I hope everyone is having a great day!
