Lost My Mind

I've lost my mind. Seriously. I have lost my freaking mind. Somehow Jordan managed to talk me into running a HALF FREAKING MARATHON on May 1st. MAY FIRST. That is only 2 and 1/2 months! I mean, I like to think I'm athletic. I ran track in high school. I can run. Sprints. That's what my body was made to do. I run fast and hard. Not for loooonnnnggg periods of time. Though I do realize that really anyone can train their body to long distance running, just the idea of running for that long kind of freaks me out. Jordan not only wants me to run this sucker in general, he wants me to run it WITH HIM. Now, this boy, he can run 8 miles like it's nothing. Like, oh hey! I just got done running 8 miles and it was great! :P Shut. Up. He can also run a mile in 5 and a half minutes...I'm like an 8 to 9 minute miler.

But, I will do this. I found an 8 week training schedule on Runnersworld.com that looks pretty good, but I'm going to have to work up to it too, since it starts out at 4 miles. Maybe I'm underestimating myself, but I don't think I am. Regardless, I am taking 2 weeks to work up to this training plan...and taking the week of Spring Sing "off" (it's a work out on its own). By the time I get around to starting this shin-dig I'll have exactly eight weeks. It's gonna be great. Any tips, please feel free to comment.
