goal no.7 | run a half marathon

This one is going to be tricky. I've found some tips for beginners in running that seem fairly helpful. It's going to be very easy for me to blame school for not running, but if I really want this then there is no reason to make excuses. I'll only be letting myself down. So far I can walk 5 minutes, run 20, and walk 5. It's a good start, but I need to do it more often. The marathon I have decided to train for is Esther Pauls' Race for Haiti which will happen next October. This way I can do the bulk of race-specific training in the warmer, dryer months. In the mean time I will continue to do my palates 5 days a week and substitute this with a 30 minute walk or run every so often.
