I guess it's official. I am going to be running in my first 1/2 marathon on January 14, 2007. Our local PF Chang's Rock and Roll marathon with very little elevation change. From downtown Phoenix to downtown Tempe.
I attended the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training (TnT) meeting tonight and decided I should run for a cause. They have a coaching staff that will train us for the next 3 months and we runners will raise money to help find a cure for blood cancers. If you're a runner and are planning a 1/2 or full marathon, I would encourage you to run for a cause.
After the meeting I still needed to get my 4 miles in. I ran a new course in my neighborhood. It's 2 miles long and I ran it twice. My splits were: 12.25/14.45/16.12/13.51 for a total of 57.13. Not real good, but it was back up towards 88* at 8 pm at night. That gives me over 127 miles since August 1.
