While checking my email inbox one day I noticed an email from one of the bootcamp instructors. It was an open invitation to all veterans to join in the Half Marathon/Marathon training program they were going to start doing on the weekends. It was free and would be open to people of all experience levels. The design was set up so that no one would be left behind. People of different levels could run at their own pace.
Knowing that the Macon AR is going to have 8 miles of running with a backpack, I knew this was a key opportunity to train for distance running. I forwarded the email to Emma and asked if she was up for it. Then promptly emailed the instructor back with all of the information to get started, with the HUGE disclaimer that I am NOT a fast runner. By the end of the week I had a go from both Emma and the instructor.
We run on Saturday mornings. We started out with only (and I say "only" with a slight roll of the eyes and flick of the hair) 3 miles. We add a mile each week. Right now we just finished 5 miles today! Wahoo! Go us!
That's how we decided to do the Half Marathon. 13 Miles baby! Yeah!
