the not so beginning..

so today is the beginning.. of my blogging that is, not so much my running. i have been running for quite some time now but thought it would be interesting to blog about my experiences. i came up with this idea yesterday when i was running along ormand beach in the morning. i am on spring break and in the middle of training for my first half marathon.

running clears my mind. the first thing that came to mind yesterday was how beautiful it was on the beach, the sound of the waves crashing and the palm trees blowing in the wind, how wonderfu would it be to live here year round! it was so nice to see older couples out walking on the beach and kids playing in the sand.

as i ran by the numerous hotels and condos i thought about how cool it was that i am more then 300 miles from home, but i am still doing what i love. running is that simplistic, all you need is a pair of shoes (and an ankle brace in my case!) and you can run anywhere in the world, its truly amazing.

just last week back at school i was running al bundled up and now im running in the beautiful floridian sun.

with that said i am using my blog to record my training. towards the end of last year i decided that i wanted to run a half marathon. with that said i chose the Cox Half-Marathon in Providence, RI. It will take place on May 1, 2011. as part of my training i have decided to create this blog, to share with everyone my training and advice. i also believe it will be interesting to look back at my progress and see how much i have accomplished.
