No Turning Back

Well, there is no turning back now.  I’m all signed up for the  2nd half of the San Francisco Half Marathon on July 26th.   Let’s be clear here — I’ve lived a fairly sedentary lifestyle and getting this out of shape body to run 13.1 miles (21,097.5 meters) is big deal!  Here are a few things I’ve learned with my training thus far …

• Spandex is key
• Stretching is key
• Snacking along the way helps alot
• Never run on an empty stomach
• Hit the bathroom before a long run

I’ll let you know how the rest of my training goes.  Good luck to me — I’ll need it!
