Back on the wagon

This year one of my new years resolutions is to run a half marathon.  I was training really well up until I hurt myself at the beginning of February.  I think I gave myself shin splints from trying to do too much too fast.  I tried to run it out but that just made it worse so I haven't been running at all for the past month and a half.  Every now and then I try to start up again but then I hurt again so I gave myself plenty of time to heal.  Well, tonight I'm getting back on the wagon and I'm going to start running again.  My half marathon is on June 5th so I still have all of April and May to train.  Hopefully it's enough time!  I'm so mad that I hurt myself because I was up to 6 or 7 miles and running a little faster 9:30 min/mile... :(  so I'm super bummed because I would have been totally prepared for this race.  I know I'll be able to finish the race no matter what, I'm not worried about that, I just really wanted to finish in less than 2 and a half hours.  Oh well... we'll see what happens.  Hopefully I can have a productive 2 months and kick some butt at the half.
