I know it doesn't sound like much but I do a lot more on the treadmill and the elliptical everyday but actually running outside in the cold and rain was harder then I expected. I have now decided that I am going to focus on training and run the half marathon in Oct. It is a really big goal but I hope to achieve it.

    I think that the 1 mile is awesome! I think that getting to the 1 mile is the hardest ... after that it is just building endurance. There are several training guides on line that will help you train for the 1/2 - you are giving yourself plenty of time to train. it will be hard work, but great job on putting that goal out there ... you will feel on top of the world when you meet it!
