Welcome!

My name is Ashley. I am 24 yrs old and I am running my first 1/2 Marathon on 3.7.10. I will be heading from Boston to Orlando to run the 2010 Disney Princess Half Marathon. Please enjoy my journey over the next months, as I track my training and thoughts about becoming a runner!

My 1/2 Marathon is in....

Bittersweet Saturday

First the positive....I ran 6.47 miles this morning....I am totally ready to take on my 10K in a few weeks!!

The negative is that this morning I woke up at 9 to go to my running club, which starts at 10am. Of course the bus didnt come and I was 5 minutes late and they had all left without me :( so I was pretty bummed because I really wanted to run around Jamaica Pond. The run was supposed be around 3.7 miles....

Then I decided that I was going to go for my own run so I headed down brookline ave towards fenway and then went around the charles..then at 3.28 miles I was going up some stone stairs near the hatchshell, missed a step and fell. My right side took a pretty hard fall...knee gashed open even though I was wearing running tights. I walked it offf for a few then decided since I was downtown I would try running again....needless to say I ran over another 3 miles to get home on comm ave...putting me over 6 miles with just less than a few mins break so I was pretty proud of myself....ive been icing my knee and hopefully it doesnt bruise too bad.

I definitely learned how easy it is to fall so training outside this winter should be interesting for sure!

All and all today was successful despite missing the running club and falling!
