Today I signed up for an indoor half marathon in January. "What does an indoor half marathon entail?" you might ask. Apparently it involves running 47 laps around an ice rink.
This sounded incredibly boring to me until I read the reviews from the inaugural race last year. People loved it! They got to see their fans every lap, they had an aid station every lap, they got to lap (or be lapped by) other runners. They asked for song requests to be played during the race, too. My three requests are:
Quiet Dog Bite Hard - Mos Def
Girls Say - Groove Armada
Keep It Coming Love - KC & the Sunshine Band
I have only run one other half marathon. This was in May, after having slacked off since March. I had run 20 miles in March, 20 miles in April, and 30-some in May before the race. I finished in 2:28:03. I ran the first half of my marathon in 2:14:19. I'd like to do this one in under 2 hours.
I know that in my last post, I had said that I was happy to not be training for anything. But the truth is that I've been itching to plan! Now I have an excuse to, as this race is 11 weeks away.

I find that if I don't have a race on the schedule, I just can't get motivated to train... This is OK, because I rather like races, so preparing for one is just more fun.
