I've signed up for my first half marathon...and I optimistically say first...'as if' there might ever be a second? I guess we'll see! A year ago I would have never run a mile let alone 13+. See what changes happen in a year?

Now I 'get' to keep training after the hood to coast relay so that I'm prepared to run this baby...I've got a goal in mind to run it in under two hours, 15 minutes....

    Good job! I've signed up for one in the fall - it won't be my first Half, but it's been a few years. It's a nice distance to do!

    Congratulations. There will be others don't worry. My wife did her first half 4 years ago. She has now completed 7 marathons and is planning to run one in each of the 50 States.
