I signed up for the Silver Comet Trail Half Marathon today!!! I am kind of excited and kind of scared. The event is on October 31st, 2009 at 7:30 am. I think I will set a goal of finishing in 2.5 hours, but I will refine that as I train.
Speaking of training, the first thing I need to train for is the Peachtree Road Race on July 4th. That will be a great base for ramping up to the half. I need 14 weeks to train for the half, as long as I have a 10k base, so the timing is really perfect.
And, as I lose weight, it will just get easier and easier, and more and more fun to run. I can see myself, fit and trim, running a half marathon. I may cry with emotion at the finish.
Be sure to bring a water bottle, otherwise you may not have enough moisture left in your body to cry at the end! ;-)
