For the past several months, I have been putting my body through a rigorous training in preparation for running a half marathon. The run will be taking place, starting at 7:00AM, on Saturday, August 29. Just this week, I went and put my registration money down! So it's official. I will be running a half marathon in just over two weeks.
It's actually been easier than I anticipated in getting ready for the run. I have been averaging about 25-30 miles running each week for the past month or so. The longest single run I've had so far has been 8 miles, which took about an hour and ten minutes. My goal is to finish the half marathon in about an hour and a half, which measures out to about 8 mph.
What's the most you've ever run before? I'm actually surprised how many people I keep running into who have run a half or full marathon before. I'd love to hear how many of you have done something this this before.

When I was in high school, I trained for a half marathon called the Frostbite (due to it's Jan/Feb date). In Nov/Dec I went out and ran 13.1 miles on a cold, misty day. This resulted in a nasty cold, which meant the end of my training, so I never actually competed. But at least I ran that far once in my life!
Never have, never will. Running is not my thing.
Scott, You can do this, we know you can. We always loved watching Andy run. It is such a personal challenge. Just take it easy & stay hydrated & remember you're not 18:)
