I can not wait to officially start training for my very first half marathon. I have been putting in some miles each week, but I do not officially start my 12 week training program until Feb. 2nd. I am preparing myself for the challenges that lay ahead. I know there will be physical, mental and emotional challenges along the way. I look forward to sharing this journey with you! I hope that through this blog I can help to inspire others to work towards and accomplish whatever goals they may have! Let's do this together!!!
I am proud of you and will be following your progress closely. I am also looking forward to running with you in your first Olympic Triathlon and your second half marathon. This is going to be fun.
Love, Dad

Hi Jen,
I will be running the Mt. Clemens Festival of Races in April. I will be following the Hal Higdon Novice 2 training plan. As the date approaches I will also be adding in more cross training in the areas of swimming and biking as I prepare for the Tri season to begin.
