This will be the first post of many I hope. I have been running for a little over a year now. I have made new friends along the way and have become closer to friends that I already had. I have done three half marathons so far. I felt it was time to for the big 26.2. That day is the Houston Marathon, January 15th 2012. When most people have found this out, they say "You're crazy!" or "Why would you want to do that?" Well, I have ran half the distance, so why not go all the way. Don't get me wrong, I am scared shitless!!! But I was feeling the same way this time last year when I was signing up for my first half marathon. My half marathon journey is not over yet. I have one scheduled for the weekend before Thanksgiving and another in Las Vegas on Dec 4th! The Vegas half is the one I am looking forward to the most. Running the Las Vegas Strip at night will be something to remember, plus spending nearly a week in Vegas will be awesome. A few friends will also be running in it but there are some friends and family going to sit on the side and hold the poker chips and alcohol! A Very important job!!!
Took a little break at the end of May from running (which I should have known better) and I am now just getting back into it again. Running in the heat is a whole lot different that running in the nice cool fall/winter air, but I have to start somewhere and why not now. I have a run scheduled for tonight at 8:00 PM. My goal is 5 miles or more, but we will see how that goes! Will update more after the run!
