Maybe an ultra after.<br /><br />You can do it.<br /><br />I have yet to read it, but from what other people have said, Born to Run is an amazing book about running. From what people have said, it fits my running philosophy. I'm a barefoot/minimalist runner and it's amazing feeling the earth and ground when I run. It makes me feel connected, it makes me feel like this is what I should be doing, how my body was designed to be. Give it a try?! :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559828079507758898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-29689317059719104612010-05-27T21:56:48.489-05:002010-05-27T21:56:48.489-05:00Whoohooo, can't wait to follow along as you ac...Whoohooo, can't wait to follow along as you ace that half-marathon!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166689210558948213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-26471780923717194872010-05-27T21:46:37.841-05:002010-05-27T21:46:37.841-05:00What a cool freaking badge!

I could care less how slow I am or how silly I look doing it. It fills my spirit with ROAR!<br />I work with an honest to goodness runner and he does Indy's Mini every year. When he first told me that he expected me to do it with him next year, I just laughed out loud. But now, I'm seeing it!! I have a year to get ready and I'm going to do it too! <br /><br />I borrowed your great badge to add it to my wall. <br /><br />Thanks for all of your wonderful warm fuzzies and support. <br /><br />Hugs, KirstenKirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294410210624085636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-37044650663914318852010-05-27T12:45:31.316-05:002010-05-27T12:45:31.316-05:00I've just read and enjoyed your blog for the f...I've just read and enjoyed your blog for the first time.

Thanks so much for the link! <br /><br />BTW, I did the Cap10K in ATX in April, my first ever race over 5K and it was AWESOME. I highly recommend it for you next year - it's huge and fun and ridiculous - my write up is here: http://alwayslooking4new.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-experience-running-10k.html<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration and the ideas!Beth Brakewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791885157617233948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-15875092890609294702010-05-27T09:51:47.312-05:002010-05-27T09:51:47.312-05:00Shelly,

The only thing that made me think twice is that it said no headphones. I guess you could hide them when you take off and and finish...i teach high school and I can be just as sneaky as a teenager. :) Maybe I'll see you there.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319705485471128965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-56964783382735450322010-05-27T08:44:00.116-05:002010-05-27T08:44:00.116-05:00Shelley, I did that same thing my first year of ru...Shelley, I did that same thing my first year of running. I started with a 3.5 mile race and ended the year with a full marathon! I've had the running bug ever since. <br /><br />Check out <a href="http://www.halhigdon.com" rel="nofollow">Hal Higdon's</a> training programs. Since you've never raced that distance you can follow the beginner plan. A plan like that would get you used to the mileage and help you build up slowly.<br /><br />OOOOOHHHH I am so excited for you!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974376008651624094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-322901933312174362010-05-27T07:24:56.486-05:002010-05-27T07:24:56.486-05:00Glad you got the boys settled and will be able to ...Glad you got the boys settled and will be able to spend some "non-moving" time with them this weekend!<br /><br />And I would not feel bad about not getting your regularly scheduled exercise in - life gets in the way sometimes, and I can guarantee you burned tons of calories moving boxes!<br /><br />A HALF MARATHON??!!

You have really done so fantastically. <br /><br />I really laughed at your comments about the Texas heat. Long ago and far away, when I lived in Wichita Falls, a friend and I would walk at 11pm after I got off work. I don't remember that we did it because of the heat, but that's probably why. In addition to being very young and foolish.<br /><br />How fun to get a book you weren't expecting.
