It's Time!

When I was in high school, I absolutely hated running long distance. The 100 and 200 were more my speed. I loved me a good relay too! But anything longer than that was greeted with a lot of attitude. So, I would have never imagined that I would ever want to run a 5K. And now, I am saying:

I'm Training For a Half Marathon!!

Yep! As you can see from the picture below I'm all registered for my first half marathon!

Divas Half Marathon here I come! I officially start training this week! Why so far out? Hello! The farthest I have ran in one session is 3.1 miles. I'm going to need all the training time I can get if I want to make it across that finish line on my own!

I'm going to follow the Disney Princess Half Marathon for beginners plan. It's simple and straight to the point. And since I am a wife, mom and now work outside of the home where I sometimes have to travel, I like straight to the point!

So here I go! Let the training begin!

Once Upon a Time...

...I was pretty freaking fit! Let me tell you what happened.

First came love. Saw him in the gym getting a good workout in. He had me at "Hello"!

Then came marriage. While driving him to the air terminal for his deployment, he said "When I get back, I don't want to drive across country without you having my last name.". He flew me out to Hawaii a month into his deployment and he proposed to me!

Then came our baby in a baby carriage! Took us 3 years to get our princess! It was well worth the wait.

I went from fit and fabulous to a stereotypical frumpy Navy wife and SAHM. Who would have thunk it?! Well, it's time to get the fit me back! Follow me as I go from SAHM to full-time working outside the home Navy wife and Mom. I'll be kicking that frumpy Navy wife stereotype's butt as I train for my first half marathon and um, have a not so frumpy wardrobe! LOL!
