After I completed the Antarctica Marathon last February, I really have not been very active. A few months ago, I started going to a personal trainer, but I still was not running. Lately, I have been getting the itch to run again, so I have been out a few times. There were no fancy runs, hills, or speedwork. Just short 2-3 mile runs on the trail by my house.
A friend of mine came over to our place on Oct 8. She had run the Hartford Half and wanted to do run a bigger race. I suggested that she enter the drawing for the NYC half. After discussing it, we both decided to enter the drawing. On November 30, the drawing was held and we BOTH got in!
The race is on Sunday, March 19. Time to start training again!
