I remember someone telling me after I had my first kid, "It's amazing how heavy these tiny little babies get." Then I remember thinking that if you held your baby for an hour every day (and lets face it, we hold them for way more than that), in theory, you would become a little stronger every day and they would never "feel" heavy. Anyone that has held a kid for more than a few minutes will agree that is not the case. They get heavy... fast! In theory if I just run a mile more each week, then a marathon should be no big deal. How wrong! I found a Marathon Training Schedule and started it. Pretty much if you can do a 5K, this is a good place to start.
I am now on week 2, and have only started getting out of my comfort zone. There are a few things I've come to realize.
1. Advil is my friend.
2. I'm not being a hero. My knee is weak, so I wear a knee brace.
3. Running shoes are worth the money, even for a cheap chick like myself!
4. There is no limit as to how much water I can drink on a running day.
5. I still hate running in the rain.
