My First Half Marathon!

After due thought and consideration, this afternoon I registered to run my first half-marathon ever! I chose one of the Rock & Roll series to take place in Las Vegas: December 2, 2012 gives me enough time to comfortably prepare for it, and the course ought to be comfortably flat, as well as dry and warm that time of year. So, let the training begin. I have been a little lost and undirected in my running and fitness this year. But now I have tangible incentive to train regularly and eat properly. This should be fun and satisfying. My goal, of course, is just to finish the race. I have never been a speed demon under the best of circumstances even in my long ago youth; but I kind of get into distances and fun destination runs.
