Two and a half weeks ago I ran in a 5K as a finale to the nine week C25K program. On the first of this month, I participated in my first dragon boating regatta. This past Sunday I completed a 10K race and saw the conclusion of a five week training program that I created to get me to a point where I could run the entire course. And Monday was the final session for the Body Strengthening class I have been taking.
Now what?
I think I know what I want to do next. I'm pretty sure I have a plan that could work to help me reach this potential goal. I am fairly certain that the direction I am leaning in makes sense...
But it is a big, scary, and significant ambition that I am toying with undertaking. Am I ready? Do I have what it takes to commit to something so out of the ordinary? Am I dreaming beyond my capabilities?
Who knew that I would ever consider a half marathon...
