I signed up for another half marathon, even though I swore up and down that the 2010 San Jose Rock & Roll Half Marathon would be my last. I think I actually stopped running after that one. I remember it being a very positive "overall" experience. Other than the months leading up to it trying to train through a mild bout of whooping cough....then there was the back pain the week before and the day of (my body trying to give me one last excuse), and of course after crossing the finish line my legs didn't work for awhile....the pain...Ah yes!It's all coming back to me now.
This time things will be a little different. First of all, it's in Santa Barbara and I've never been there (can you believe it?). Second, I hope to train properly with the help of my friend and running coach Meghan (who will be running the full marathon!). Oh yes, I forgot to mention...she was over for dinner the other night and after a few glasses of wine she somehow got me all fired up to run this one. I was going to shrug it off the next day as a "wine inspired" bad idea, but it's actually sounding pretty fun. So here we go...again!
