Exciting News!

January 25, 2011 by Jamie @ Food in Real Life

Half marathon #2 here I come!

I’ve been thinking about this race a lot. There were some personal reasons why I wasn’t sure if I wanted to sign up, but the runner inside would not be ignored!

I am in good shape for training since I started a long run schedule last week when I was strong for over 6. I also am not going to put too much pressure on myself to break my PR, I just want to do the best I can.

Another cool thing is that the race is just a few weeks before my 30th bday. What a great way to celebrate!

My friend Katie who ran the Philly half with me is running the Suntrust full marathon. It’s her first marathon! I’m excited to be running with her on that day!

Hope you guys are excited as I am for another half marathon training journey!

In other news, I’m off for Day #2 of student teaching. I’ve got my buffalo tofu salad wrap, a berry yogurt, carrot sticks, string cheese and clementines.

I loooove my built lunch bag!

See ya after school!

  Awesome, you’d rock a half! Hal Higdon has great running plans for beginners too- check them out online, they are free! I’m still tweaking my plan for this race, but I’ll post it soon!

Congrats on signing up for your half marathon! I love your lunch back. I need one like that. Right now I just reuse the plastic bags that you get at the store.
