For the last several months, Andy has been telling me that he really wants to run another half marathon for his 30th birthday (which is coming up in May). After searching the Internet, I couldn't find one the weekend of his birthday. But of course Andy has come with a much better idea... Haha! He comes by my classroom today to tell me that we should run the Rock 'n Roll Half in New Orleans in February AND another half marathon in Nashville at the end of April. I really think we could do it... I just don't know if I'm ready to dedicate that much time to training for it. We don't have a lot of extra hours of spare time laying around especially with basketball season officially beginning on Saturday.
We did run a half marathon once before in 2010. Unfortunately, we did not do as well as we had predicted thanks to our Nike Run App. It was wrong! The entire time during our training we thought our times were great and the mileage was correct. Ha, nope! The mileage was off, big time. We (especially me) hit Mile 10 during the actual race and died a slow death to the end of the 13.1 miles. BUT, we never once stopped to walk even though my pace was probably close enough to a walk those last three miles. We were proud of ourselves despite the lack of training.
So maybe... just maybe... we'll run another one (or two) in 2013!
