Darn that stupid show "The Biggest Loser" for making me feel like I can accomplish any physical activity if I just set my mind to it. Because of that, I'm signing up to participate in a half-marathon on June 5, 2010.
Notice my use of the word "participate", not run or walk. I'm not planning on being a hero by any means, my only goals for the race are:
1) to actually show up on race day
and
2)finish all 13.1 miles (preferably before the sun goes down)
I'm still in the "psych myself up and believe I can really do this" phase. I bought a training book through Amazon that I plan on reading over the holidays, and I'm researching a few different training plans through various online running sites (when I finally find a good one, I'll post it on here, but for now, you can check my links). My plan is to start training on Monday, January 3, which is almost 5 months to the day before the race. Like I said before, not trying to be a hero. It's going to take me all 5 months to prepare, that much I'm certain about.
So...who else is in?

Way to go Nicole. You're going to be great. Afterall if a chubby short Chinese person could finish a half marathon you'll blow it out of the water. :-)
