Anyone out there doing Grandma's? Wait, that sounds wrong...

...I'd like the half to be my one half for this year. Lottery opens next month so we'll see if I get in. If so, it's on!

    I heard the course is wonderful and includes a nice view of the finish line from afar midway though the race. Everyone who I have spoken to absolutely loves the race!

    Unfortunately, I am not sure if I can attend this year

    Grandma's half is definitely on my bucket list! I'm running a different race on the 22nd this year, but definitely 2014 :D

    I'm still working on C25K but next year it may become a goal to do the half!

    Yeaaaaaa SeraFee! Just you wait...once you master that 5k, the longer distances are easier & easier to achieve with a good training schedule. :bigsmile:
