my morning run

Registration for the Princess Half is next Tuesday! It's about to become real. So I need to step up my game. My goal for the summer is to be able to run at least 7 miles by the end of July. The longest I have ran is 4.55 miles. I think I will do small runs during the week and on weekends do my longer runs.

I'm down east visiting my friend Jennifer and the girls for a week. Jennifer lives in a beautiful neighborhood,  it's on a lake and has lots of hills. I hate hills. Well, I hate running up hills but I do like running down hills! 

When I returned from my run, these sweet girls were happy to see me! I was very happy to see them!

Biltmore Run

Tulips at Biltmore

 

Last week a group of my friends went running at the Biltmore Estate. We are all running the Biltmore 5K in May so we wanted to go for a run on the Estate. My friend Brooke joined us and she is running the 15K in May!  It was such a pretty day and we all had a great run. I think it is very encouraging to have friends running with me. I am currently running/walking a 10:50 mile.

 

After our run we did a little shopping in Biltmore Village and had dinner at Doc Chey's.

I am looking forward to going back and running some more at the Biltmore Estate.

This tee-shirt makes me smile! Plus it is on my Disney Princess Half Marathon Board on Pinterest. And you know what that means - If you have a Pinterest board devoted to the half marathon you MUST run it!

 

So I must share my latest run update -

On Monday I ran/walked 3.1 miles in 35 minutes. I am slowly getting there. Baby steps. I am still on the treadmill so I am sure my time might be different when I head outdoors. Tomorrow I will attempt to run 2 miles without stopping.

Running to be a Princess

Disney November 2012

A few months ago I went to Disney World with some friends.  While we were there I learned about the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  I decided then and there I wanted to run that race! Problem is, I am not a runner! Never really wanted to be either. I just want to wear a tutu and act like a Disney Princess. (I am pretty sure I am meant to be Cinderella when I grow up!)

Well I have decided to start training for this 13.1 miles now. That gives me 13 months to learn to be a runner. I am planning on blogging about my journey to help me stay on track towards my goal. So I am putting on my running shoes and running 3 days a week. 

My results for today



I did download an app to help me with this training. Here's hoping I can do it! Baby steps.
