Half-Marathon

I am going to start training for a half-marathon. That is 13.5 miles.

For those of you who know me and think, well you're not overweight - so that's no big deal. Here's a little history. I hate running and have had 3 knee surgeries. I have sports induced asthma which means...if I walk too fast for too long, I can't breath...so running for an extended amount of time is pretty much not an option. The ligaments in my ankles are loose from multiple breaks and sprains. My hips are uneven, one is higher than the other, which throws off my spine, which hurts when I sit, stand, or run for extended amounts of time. So...even for those who appear to be 'in shape' aren't always equipped to run a half marathon.

As you can tell, I'm not the ideal candidate for a half-marathon. But, I figure...75% of it is mentle toughness. So, I'm going to get over myself mentally...and do it. My first work-out will be tomorrow. I will post updates as I experience training hell. =)

Peace, Love, and Patience...
