Saturday Race Day: Half Marathon 13.1 Miles!
Since taking January and February off from all activities due to COVID “running” through our house, I can’t wait to get back out on the open road to start adding miles to my individual and team stats. I really need this to get my head back in the game and on the right path to burning calories and losing weight. Tomorrow February 28th begins the next 16 weeks of commitment to achieve another training plan for a half marathon. I have not chosen a race yet but I have my eye on a few, it will just depend on dates. Thank you Run The Year for always having a yearly running challenge and thank you to my Sole Sisters Team for joining me on this crazy fun running journey.
