I think I'm half crazy...

Okay so...I haven't been running that long, but the thought of being able to go out and just run has always been appealing to me. I just never thought I could do it. Now that I've had some good experiences with it, I really want to make some goals that will keep me going and make this a lifetime endeavor.

With that in mind, I have spent waaaaay too much time today looking at and thinking about half marathons. It started with blog-hopping (as it often does) and I ended up reading a race report from the Utah Valley Half Marathon and deciding to look it up.

It looks like a great half for beginners, a slow and gentle down hill for the whole course that starts in the canyon and ends in Provo.

It's also fairly close and relatively inexpensive AND it's not until June so it gives me plenty of time to work up to the miles.

I feel like I'm crazy for even considering it, but I really want to have a goal out there to work towards and this seems doable in the amount of time that I have. The registration opens September 1st and there are limited openings, but I'm not sure how fast it fills up. Maybe I'll ask some of my runner friends and see what they think, but I'm getting really excited just thinking about it!
