NO EXCUSES!!!

Biggest Loser has it right this year... no excuses is their theme and rightfully so.  I have been a trainer for 6 years and have heard every excuse in the book and it is starting to piss me off!!!  In all honesty, it isn't only about training that I feel this way, there has to be a fight for what you want, in work, in relationships and especially in your fitness goals.
I have decided to run a half marathon this June, scary as all heck to me since I have never exceeded more than 7 kms at one time, I don't have ANY winter running gear, I am a single Mom with 2 kids and 3 jobs.  Do the math... it seems a little daunting.  BUT, here's the thing... I have always wanted to have the satisfaction of saying that I ran a half marathon.  I want to set out to do something, put together an action plan and have the feeling of success and elation when I have completed it.
My plan is to blog my adventure to my race date, June 3 2012.  I will be running the Women's Half Marathon in Niagara Falls, Ontario.  I have only done one race in my life which was the Warrior Dash (that's a whole other story!!), a 5 km run with obstacles, so I don't have a lot of experience in long distance running.  I'm nervous, excited, apprehensive, but mostly motivated to set out to do something that will have a major effect on how I view my training and myself.  I will make no excuses of time, weather, clothing or nutrition.  If I fall down on the slippery road or sidewalk in my running shoes, I will pick myself up and keep going.  THIS IS MY YEAR... THIS IS MY RACE!!
