13.1 Long Branch Half Marathon

I received an email from one of my sorority sisters from college.  She recently signed up for the Long Branch half marathon & was wondering if I did too.  I am thinking that I should.  I know I'm not ready to run that far now, but I think by May I can really get a lot of mile of running under my belt.  It's really becoming easier for me to run, and I feel pretty good when I am finished my workouts.

I previously posted a 1/2 marathon training plan.  I think if is really as nice as they say it's going to be tomorrow I'm going to go out & run my 6 mile Sunday run that I used to do in the summer.  I start around 5th Avenue in Belmar & run to the end of Spring Lake & back.  Yes, there is some walking involved, but I can finally make it from one end of Spring Lake to the other without stopping.  It's about 2 miles.  There was a time that I couldn't make it from the gates in Spring Lake to the first pavilion without feeling like I was going to die.  & that is only a 1/4 of a mile!  Again, I'm not the best runner, but at least I have some stamina.

Thanks Maggie!  I'm definitely going to sign up!
