Half Marathon

I'm finally committing. I have set a date & plans have been made. I have wanted to run a half marathon for a long time. Last year, I picked out a few races and got my sister-in-law on board with me & nothing. Well not totally nothing...my sister-in-law did it. I didn't. We were originally going to run last September, but then she wanted to get pregnant, didn't want to train through summer & moved up the race to April. Needless to say, I wasn't ready, with just having a baby & getting ready to put our house on the market.

Anyway, I am going to run on Memorial Day in San Diego. Sounds perfect right? I think so. If anyone is interested in joining me feel free...I'd love the company! You can find the details here.

Now that I have started running more frequently I've noticed my iPod is in desperate need of some new tunes. What are you favorites? They don't necessarily have to be up tempo, but I'd love some of those as well. I will listen to just about anything. Currently on my iPod is Kanye West, as well as Dixie Chicks, some Beatles, and even some old school Britney Spears. Send your favorites please!

Do you have the nike+? When I was training for the PF changs marathon (which I didn't end up doing)I used it and loved it. I would highly recommend it. Good luck!!

ok I am so jealous... I don't know if I could do it... I am not really a runner... BUT I SO want to do it...HA! I sound hormonal.
My fav that i find myself repeating over and over again when I am working out is Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry" HA-
ps-do you run at the gym?

Good for you Amy! I am actually training for a triathalon in April right now...I paid so I guess I really have to do it! I am in the same boat on the ipod thing, so let me know what people suggest. If you need a running partner or you want to cross train on the bike or swim let me know! Good luck training!
