Hello all,
I'm Anisum and after much consideration I decided to try to make a training journal. I'm notoriously bad at updating things but given that @DopeyBadger was kind enough to make me a training plan I figure I should provide more feedback than just my run data.
That being said I hate posting my personal information so be ready for some vague-blogging.
About Me
So, some history on how I ended up here. In 2014 my best friend L (who will appear often in stories and notes) was graduating from college. I went to her graduation party and learned that she was going to do the 2015 Princess Half Marathon Weekend. Now, L was an athlete throughout college and a huge Disney fan so on the one hand this wasn't surprising but on the other hand, it sounded like complete madness! Post party, I went to visit my running cousins and they said that anyone could run if they tried and told me about C25k.
My lovely mother (from here on DM) agreed to try the program with me but it was the start of summer and well, we didn't stick with it all that long. So February 2015 rolls around and L runs the GSC and posts all the pictures online. I was so jealous. I wanted the bling, the accomplishment, the huge smile on my face. So at the start of March when it got warm enough to run outside. I started the C25k again and never looked back.
Along the way I met a lot of you lovely folks on the board who answered my questions and helped me on my journey to become a beautiful running butterfly!
