Hi y'all! Welcome to my first training journal!
I'm Mandi, aka Tygerlilly. I'm a 34 year old married momma to two girls. I recently had a come to Jesus meeting with myself regarding my health and fitness (or lack of). I'm around 50lbs overweight and can barely chase my kids around. This is a drastic change from pre-kiddo days when I played soccer, could run 5 miles for funsies, and eat whatever I wanted. My how times have changed...
Anyway, my brilliant self was like "self, let's run a half marathon for your 35th birthday! Oh, and we can do it while on our 1st anniversary trip in Vegas!" So, here I am, 5ish months out from my first ever half marathon and finally getting my rear in gear.
Some day, I want to do Dopey. I'm loosely crossing my fingers for 2021, but I'm probably more convinced that it will be 2022.
My loose plan is to run 3 days a week: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, with longer runs on Saturday since I work on Saturdays and will be up moving around instead of sitting down not keeping loose.
I'm also working my way through starting a new workout program by Fitness Blender called Strength. It's supposed to be a 5 day, 4 week program, but I think I am going to do it on 3 of my non-run days instead.
Anyway, I guess this is just so I can keep a running commentary on how everything is going. Feel free to comment if you want!
