Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon
I may in fact be certifiably insane, but yesterday I registered for the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon. The longest distance I have ever run is a 10k (a little over 6 miles) so I know full well that I have no idea what I am getting into. All I know is running a ½ marathon is on my life list and six of my friends are running this one… So I might as well go for it…
I really dislike running, as some of you may remember from my previous posts. But I figure I will never get over the hump (I still believe this hump is fictitious and I will never enjoy running.) if I don’t push myself.
The half is on March 14, 2010. I am going to try to get into a little better shape between now and the new year, but my official training schedule will begin on January 1, 2010. For the next four months, my border collie is going to be so excited to have a consistent running buddy… At this point, I on the other hand am more scared than excited…
Wish me luck.

Hey there! Found your blog! Good luck with the 1/2 marathon - we'll have to talk more at book club! You'll do great!!
Girl, if I could do it, you can do it. Hopefully it will give you a love of running instead of how it left me (I definitely hate running even more than I did before my half). I'm a little sad to miss out on all of your bonding time with the girls, but not so sad that I'm going to sign-up, too... :)
Yay!!! I'm so glad you're doing it! We can train together!
I am so jealous, I REALLY wanted to do the 1/2 marathon in Houston this yesar... I was training and everything. I have to say though, the first half-mile was always the hardest. Once I got past the "why am I running?" phase, I actually started to enjoy it (45 min of solitude and my own thoughts that is). But, alas, I am having another kid instead. Mabey we can do the 1/2 marathon together next year (2011). Good luck with the training.
