A Half Marathon? Me?

After watching the DVD called, "The Spirit of the Marathon" this morning and after a great "Good Form" course at the local athletic store where I met a few other local beginning runners last night, I came down with a bug.

The most I have run non-stop so far has been 5 miles.

I need to relearn my stride.

But the bug struck! I just signed up for a 13.1 mile run/walk that will be in my area in 9 months.

Sure, I will be satisfied if I can run at least 50% of it, but I am going to train and work towards running all the way to and through the finish line. That is my new goal. Crazy?
