Tomorrow, I will begin my official Training for the Long Beach Half Marathon. I have been slowly returning to running and I am now ready to start the plan that I have built for myself. I plan on running 3 days a week, and cross training 3 days, with one day off. Long Beach is 13 weeks away and I plan to have a great race - I know it may not be as fast as in years past but, I plan to run it pain free and happy! It is very important to me to run this race, it is a tradition in my life - I have run it almost every year since I began running, almost 14 years ago now, and most of them I did with my Dad. I even ran the half with my Dad in 2004, when I was pregnant with my son, who is now 9. I have also BQed on the marathon course twice, including last year. So Long Beach International City Bank Marathon, holds a very special place in my heart and I will do what needs to be done to be at that start line. I am so hoping my Dad is able to run this year too!! This year is the 30th anniversary of the Long Beach Marathon! Setting my sights...full steam ahead with the hip in control. :) Anyone else plan on running the fantastic LB?? I know I will see a few local Cali page owners and dear friends there - Alexis, Kristina,Vicki and Melissa!!!
