It is finally here. The weekend I have been anticipating for 17 weeks! The Virginia Beach Rock n Roll Half Marathon. I confess, I am a little bummed, because the farthest I have run so far is 6 miles. However, it is farther than I was running when I started, and definitely farther than I have ever run in my entire life. Perhaps I had delusions of grandeur. I think I fully understand that phrase now.
Actually, this seems to happen a lot. I say, "I can do it." Sort of like Trish thinking she could snowboard when she have never even skied or done any other winter sport. After falling off the ski lift, not being able to even stand up, and then walking back to the lodge almost in tears, I discovered that I could not, in fact, "just figure it out."
Hmmmmmmmm......oh well. Maybe it was good to set my goal so high. At least I will be able to run half way. Final results to follow on Monday morning! Tally Ho!

Hmmm.... just keep one foot ahead of the other till you break the tape, you'll do great, enjoy it!
What is the setting of the race? Is it actually along the beach?
So you'll get to catch up with family in Berryville too, right?
How many miles is the whole race? I rem in Feb / March I did the JP Morgan, I only cycled 3-4 times a week for about 15-20 mins, but didnt ever train/run on the road, sure it was only 5,6kms, it goes fast, especially if its a bunch of people, how many have entered this one? We had 15000.
