Easy Meal Plan Sunday Week 72 – these six dinners, two desserts and a breakfast recipe will help you remove the guesswork from this week’s meal planning. Enjoy!
So, I’ve decided to run a half marathon in January.
And I hate running.
I just get so bored. I don’t want to wear headphones like some people do because I have this thing about wanting to be completely aware of my surroundings and just need to hear cars, people and anything else around me.
So, my idea is to be one with my thoughts and focus on gratitude, life and whatever else comes to me during my run.
I started my couch to half marathon training this past Monday and it had been going well up until today.
The 4 mile run/walk just completely did me in for some reason. I was totally wiped when I came home. So much so that I took a 4 hour nap to recover.
I don’t know. Some days I can run a couple miles and it won’t bother me, others it’s a total struggle. Overall this past week, I’ve felt good. I can feel my body physically starting to change and think I’m getting more into shape. I’m very interested to see what happens over the next few months and if this whole running thing grows on me to the point that I’m interested in doing it regularly. We’ll see!
I’d love to hear your thoughts if you’ve done half marathons or marathons. Please share in the comments how you’ve trained and kept your focus and motivation to do so!

Hi! Keep up the great work on your running! I’m 60 now but when I turned 40 I did the San Diego Rock n Roll marathon! I did it with the Leukemia & Lymphoma society Team in Training group. I couldn’t have done it alone because I wouldn’t have had the accountability.. it was a fantastic time. About 6 months of training. The year before I
did a half marathon in Montana, beautiful! And then a couple more halfs with the training portion of the marathon. It was fun! My time was 5 hours and 8 minutes. I was slow however ran the whole way and felt really good afterwards. I recommend a bit of hill training if your course will have hills and it was helpful to have a bit of sprints here and there to change it up but if was really good for cardio. Day of race pack handy snacks. I had a small fanny pack with some Goo bars/packs. And what saved me in the last few miles were mini pretzel bites stuffed with peanut butter. Some Angel running next to me saw me drained and gave me a few, it saved me and I finished strong. Love all the food ideas and visit the site often, good luck!!!
Rosie, that’s fantastic!! Thanks so much for sharing your story! You are an inspiration. After a VERY long hiatus, I’ve taken up running again with just the plan to do it to keep me in shape, no long term goals with it as of yet, but who knows.
Thanks for leaving your comment and for your sweet words about my site. I look forward to bringing you lots more deliciousness and will think of you on my run tomorrow.
