The race isn't until November 1, 2009, but I'm already feeling a bit anxious and excited. The longest race I've done is the Disneyworld Half-Marathon last January with Nick. I won't start my official training until 18 weeks prior to the race, but already know that I'm in for a load of hard work. In the meantime, Nick and I are committed to running 3 - 4 NY Road Runner races per month from now until the big race (ranging from 5Ks to 10Ks+). I also will run the More Half-Marathon (13.1 miles) on April 26, and I'm pretty deep in that training schedule right now (8 mile long runs right now).
I may post blog entries here and there to update you on my training progress --- although the main purpose would be to keep myself accountable for sticking to a strict training schedule. Although I've really grown to enjoy running, it can be a battle to stick to a regimented schedule sometimes!
By the way, for my friends who are considering a visit to NYC in the fall . . . might I suggest the beginning of November? I'd love to have some fans cheering me on! : )

You are totally nuts! But I'm rooting for ya anyways! ;-P
Good for you!! Kim, Becky and I are running a half marathon in Vancouver in October. Eek!
Thanks for the support guys!
Jess: Yay! Happy to hear that you and the other ladies are planning on doing a halfie. Since I only started running around Oct. 2007, I have lots of suggestions for resources to get started if you're interested (seriously, when I first started, it was difficult to run 2 miles!)! It may seem daunting now, but you will rock the halfie's 13.1 miles!!
PDP: Great to hear from you! You'll find that my blog focuses on pretty surface-y subjects to help me keep in touch with friends and family --- I'll need to touch base with you via e-mail to find out what you're up to!
lajournalista: Yep, I'm totally nuts! I realized that last week when I was running in the middle of a rainstorm along the East River! : ) For some reason, I'm still loving it though!
