Earlier this week my sister-in-law Amy asked me if i'd like to run the Des Moines area Dam to Dam half marathon. I wasn't so sure when she asked. Training for something that large seems a little daunting. However, yesterday I was trying on clothes at Old Navy and I couldn't help but think things like, "bowl full of jelly," and "Buffalo Wild Wings." So my resounding answer is, "Dam to Dam!"
I'm going to post graphs of my progress, most likely in the form of mile times. My goal is to run 9-minute miles during the race, which puts my total half-marathon time at 1:48:00. My goal for my single mile is to break under 6 minutes. We'll see!
I ostensibly trained for a triathlon last year, but that never happened, so I'm a little worried about my commitment. Hopefully, having publicly declared my intention to crush this race will motivate me by fear of embarrassment and loss of credibility. I'm hoping it'll look something like this:
See you all later today with some charts and graphs (Ross Perot style).

You've so totally got this! Lianna and I are shooting for a slightly less lofty goal of 3.1 miles in the Capital Pursuit run in September. But we'll join you that day and cheer you on like crazy! Can't wait for more updates.
