3 Half Marathon Training begins....now!

I have somehow managed to sign myself up for three fall half marathons...yes, a combined total of 39.3 miles ran in 3 months of races as well as a swimming portion in a quick triathlon. You may think, I am insane....good point. However, this was just good budgeting skills. Let me explain this logic:

1.) I saved almost 50% off my second race on October 20th: Bull City Race Fest.

2.) That race also finishes with a food truck rodeo...which I might add is smart because I will go to the food truck rodeo hungry and in no worry about gaining weight. My parents may be there and maybe they will pay for me to stuff my face as I go from truck to truck.

3.) The first race, I signed up for is the Capital Run Raleigh at North Hills. I saved 10% off that race because I was one of the first fifty to receive the coupon code...now that just makes me feel special so of course I had to sign up for it.

4.) The last race I signed up for was the Richmond Half Marathon. I received no deal on this race except for being able to share a bed with Meredith during our weekend there. Why did I have to sign up for this one? Almost half of the runnerpeeps are going and well of course I couldn't be left out of all that excitement. I mean, there are planning meetings! Planning is my forte. How could I not be involved in a planning meeting? Well, of course I caved and signed up.

So that equals: one half marathon a month in the fall. I am looking forward to this endeavor and am super psyched to actually train for a half marathon. I usually just try to run/walk whatever I can but I am going to be doing a mixture of running, cardio and of course my least favorite core. 

Runnerpeeps is an awesome group and I am excited to see where I can go with the awesome coaching and support I receive. Some day, training for three large races will just be my training plan and not an excuse to hang out with peeps and plan. 

Well, I am off to begin my first day of training...
