Every Day is a Training Day!

It's time to get the training plan started. This is the hardest part of training for me, to get the plan organized and set. I have to take into account the weeks I have the boy, and all the other things going on in life, and be sure I make the time to follow the plan.
So, after hours of lamenting and editing, the calendar is done! The great thing is that I have 22 weeks of training, so that is PLENTY of time to get myself prepared for a half marathon. 13 miles of running seems so daunting and excruciating, but with a set plan, I know I can do it.

This calendar is specific to my needs and schedule. Everyone's lives are different, so when looking online for a training calendar, don't feel like you have to follow somebody else's calendar exactly as it is. Make your own for YOU!! Spend the time, it's worth it!

Here's the plan:

Another great thing to do is set weekly goals....whether it be mileage, time, or anything else. That always helps me focus. Share your goals and training plans!
