Another half marathon?

Yes. It's official. Well, not yet because we still have to register. But we will be running another half marathon (!!).

At first, I thought, okay, we don't have time for this. But we run on a regular basis anyways, so why not put the extra couple hours a week working (running) towards something?

Last year, it was my first race. Ever. Except maybe when I was around 6th grade and maybe ran (walked) the Kennett Square 5k. Does that exist? I have a faint memory of it.

We considered about running the Charlotte half again, but there are so many, and each one is a different experience, so I wanted to add variety. I researched on this website for races all over the country, thinking about the amount of weeks we have, and how far we want to drive just to run a 13.2 mile race and then turn back around to be home in time for classes on Monday.

After serious debate (not really), we chose the OBX half marathon!!! I was kind of excited to run another half. But now that the race means we get to go to the Outer Banks, NC, I am super excited!

Now about training...I'm trying to stick with this. We'll see how it goes. Hal Higdon is like the father of the marathon. He has contributed to Runner's World magazine longer than any other writer. He is the author of 34 books, including the best-selling Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide. He ran 8 times in the United States Olympic Trials and won 4 World MAsters Championships. He has probably helped millions improve their race. Hopefully he can help me, too. (info from Wikipedia)
