Wow! Way to go. I just got done reading your post in the "bad runners" thread about how you used to laugh at the thought of you running, and now you're signed up for a half marathon! You go girl!

You've got several months, you'll be ready, even though right now it's a weird combination of exciting and scary...

OMG!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!
Just kidding. You'll do great. Think about it. You've riden longer than what it will take you to do the half mary, so no biggie. You just have to change what you're legs are doing for that time.

You will do just fine! Train and you will run that distance no problem.

Oh man, I have told myself all year that I would do the Shiver by the River Trail series! I mean, beer tents, come on! And with names like the Mt. Penn Mudfest, the Dirty Bird, and the Ugly Mudder, how can you go wrong! Originally Posted by rocknrollgirl
