Chasing My 1st Half Marathon, In MAY! Im I Crazy!

Hey guys! hope all is well. I have some great news. The decision has been made and I will be participating in my 1st Half Marathon ever, after my last event the idea was re-planted again and now it will become a reality.

I will be participating in the "Flight Of Fire" 1/2 Marathon on May,14 2016. This great event is being hosted by the Triple Dare Running Company, #TDRC. I will be trying to finish this 1/2 marathon within 3:00:00 hours from the start. By the Time I get ready to run this I will have completed a total of 140 Miles for this year. The distances that I have conquered have been: 1K,3K,8K,10K, 15K.,  with that being said I will now attempt to set a Personal Record (PR) for my 1st 21K or Half Marathon.

Have you ever wondered, why do  people run these crazy distances? I have, however this time I can really give you straight honest answer. Running for me is more than just a tool to lose weight, it has helped me learn to be patient, focused, determined and most of all it has give me a new found purpose in life. So thats why I run, Im sure everyone will have a similar reason. What's yours?

Who would have thought that an average JOSE like my self would be out here grinding,  running side by side next to the pro's putting in that hard work, sweat, blood and yes even tears. I will make this another positive experiences  in my life and at the same time inspire others to take charge of theirs. I don't know what my time will be but I do know that at the end of this race my life will once again change, giving me another reason to continue my life journey to becoming a better version of myself.

So to all those that have ever asked, can I do it? Should I do it? or have ever said I can't do that? that's impossible?. I assure you nothing is impossible, its time to take charge instead of becoming complaisant with your current life. You want change,then do something about it.

One last thought, there are so many reason to become a runner from enduring a loss to enduring a drastic transformation. Running will always help endure life challenges. Most importantly it reminds me that every time I tell myself "I can't do it" Or "Its not possible", I will know that I just need to shake it off because it not the TRUTH.
