And So it Begins

Word is out--I'm planning to run a half marathon. (I even told my mom!) And, like many people on the Web, I plan to chronicle my training here. The truth is that I need to be held accountable. By musing about my running excursions here, I have even more of reason to stay on track. 

Since this will act as a running log of sorts, you can expect to hear some of the details of my runs—distance, speed, muscle strains, etc. But you'll also get a peek into my head. I do my best thinking on my runs and I'll share some of that with you. 

Let's get started:

This week I started my official training. I need to get body used to running five days a week, then build up to running around eight or nine miles before really training. Day two (today) for this week was OK. I pulled something in my groin (and yes, I did check to make sure it's a groin for a girl, too), so I had to cut my run a little short. I guess I was overexcited for my breakfast meeting in the corporate dining room and took off faster than I should have. (Not that it wasn't warranted, I mean the corporate dining room has people serving you and there was even a menu! I was totally thinking bagels and muffins. No sir, I got an omelet made with Gruyere cheese—fancy! ) 

Tonight it's stretching for me.
