OK so I can’t totally cross this one off of my 30 Before 30 list, but I took a first step. Before I’m 30 I would like to run a marathon.
One problem though. I. Don’t. Run. Like at all.
So when I added this to my list I don’t know why I thought 26.2 miles was going to happen in the next 4 years. But to take some steps (haha no pun intended) to make it happen, I decided to sign up for the relay part of this year’s Pittsburgh Marathon. A few of my friends and I joined together and each took a leg of it. I didn’t train nearly enough, but I ran (sometimes walked) my 4 mile stretch and actually felt pretty great. Compared to the amazing real runners out there doing a half or full marathon, what I did was nothing, but it was an accomplishment for me!
I hope that I can actually complete this goal in the next 3 years! I should probably put the running shoes back on and get outside!
