One of the goals that I put on my application for my second degree test this year is to run a half marathon. I have done 5 and 10k runs before, but this is quite the leap for me. I asked Brandy if she could recommend a schedule to follow so I can have more accountability and because I wasn't sure what would work best. As luck would have it I am already following the schedule that she gave me with a few small differences, so I am not starting from square one. Now I know how to keep pushing towards my goal. The shamrock run is right in line with the schedule's suggested mini marathons and the Vernonia marathon (which is the one that I am doing) is right at the schedule's 12 week mark. Its almost like the whole thing worked out perfectly... Please encourage me until Sunday, April 14th. For those of you who know my history, this is like running a triathlon. Who would have thought;) Thank you Dare to Dream for kicking my butt and not letting me quit. You are my reason to push for second degree. And to all you current testers, here is to a fantastic year:)
