1/2 Marathon

So I've always had it in my mind that I wanted to run a marathon. It was one of the things on my "To Do List" before I die. When I was staying in Harrisburg the friends I was staying with Mikey and Jenni have run a couple of 1/2 marathons. So I talked to Mikey and he said that it was a lot of training and that maybe I should think about running a 1/2 marathon instead. So I did some research and found one in Allentown.

I thought what the heck if I sign up for it and pay the registration fee I don't really have a choice. I have to run it. I signed up right then and there. Mikey created a training schedule for me which is awesome, cause I really didn't know too much about training to run a half marathon. I've been training since the first Saturday of this month. Today I ran 5 miles. I swear that is the most I've ever ran at one time. Am I crazy to think that I can run 13 miles?!?!?! The half marathon is Sunday, April 27th. I've decided to dedicate this race to two people, my Uncle Andy who was an avid runner. And to my grandfather, who when I was growing up would always make me run saying "I'm training you for the Olympics" and "I'll time you". I know that on the day of the race they will both be cheering me on when I cross that finish line.
