Can I do it? Can I really run a half marathon?

I think so. I truly believe that you must have the physical capability to do something, such as run a half marathon, but that a lot what goes into doing something is just BELIEVING THAT YOU CAN DO IT. If you dont believe, you will never push yourself to the level you need to be.

So I really do think that I can do it, therefore, if I’m dedicated, I know I can.

But I must say that I am having a rocky start. Last Saturday, I went out running. It was a nice sunny day – not too cold. I went out and ran 5 miles. Not to shabby, huh?

Now if every day was like this, it would be no problem. But its not. Between work commitments and inclement weather, I have not run yet this week. My training schedule isnt too rigorous. I am aiming to run 2 shorter runs during the week with one long run on the weekend, and some cross-training (elliptical) sprinkled in between.

So I am going to hold strong and see how many times I can get myself out on the road even when there are a few sprinkles dropping from the sky. I’ll keep you updated!
