Happy birthday to me!

My wonderful father just "bought" me the most wonderful birthday present I can think of...he registered me for Boston's Run to Remember 5-miler, which will be taking place the day after my birthday. I cannot think of a better way to celebrate another year of me and I am wicked psyched about the Olive Garden carbo-loading that will take place on the night of my actual birthday.

I am going to have an amazing late spring/early summer race line-up and I cannot wait.

Thanks for ur comment in my 1st blog ever.... it was really cool to open it and see that someone looked at it...

Yes, I am registered for a few races: Feb and March I will be doing some small local 5 milers and 5Ks. April: GO! St. Louis Half Marathon. May: Tri for Sight in Columbia, MO (sprint one), June: (here's the big one) my first Half Ironman in Lawrence, KS. Very excited and a bit freaked out about it. July: a local half marathon called Joker's Wild. Aug: accenture Chicago tri (oly). Sep: I might do another HIM, depending on how my first one goes... and Oct: the big Chicago Marathon.... and I'll be doing the local tris in the area as well.. I like to support them. Wow... I just realized I wrote A LOT.. sorry.. you asked! :)

I'm considering signing up for that. I've never run a half before, but I have done 10k and I've recently been running between 3-6 miles when I go out. Do you think I can train for the Run to Remember in time? Opinions? jpetroroy@gmail.com

Jen, I think that you could train in time for the Boston Run to Remember half mary...it sounds like you have a pretty good base built. I'm a big fan of Hal Higdon's plans...

Also, there's a 5 miler that day...so if you feel like you won't be well prepared for the half, you could always run that!
