I decided to do the half much later than everyone else, and I'm hoping the lack of training won't hurt me too much. Like I keep saying, I'm not entirely sure how sane I am after I decided to do the half. I've never been a runner, and I'm still not! A couple days ago I ran for an entire hour-- and I was so proud of myself! Until I realized that I had only gone 4 miles. That's more than I've ever run on purpose in my whole life, but it's nowhere near how much or how fast I should be able to run!
My biggest problem with running: I get bored really, really fast. I can only go about a mile without wanting to quit out of boredom, and then I start thinking about running, and it's downhill from there.
My solution: The treadmill is right next to a TV upstairs, so I've been watching movies as I run. The other day I watched Batman Begins while I ran, and I barely even thought about the fact that I'd been running for so long. It's too bad the the half isn't equipped with TVs along the route.
