1/2 Marathon Challenge - anyone want to join me?
I'm running the San Francisco 1/2 Marathon tomorrow morning. It's the start of my 1/2 marathon challenge. I'm running a 1/2 marathon a month through 2011.
You can read all about it on my blog here: http://inchbyinch.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/07/half-maratho ns-i-like-them-because-theyre-shorterand-im-lazy-like-that.h tml
Anyone want to join me on any of the races? Better yet, anyone want to join the challenge?

WHAT A GREAT CHALLENGE JO!
Not sure I could find an event each month in my area...and due to budget constraints, traveling just isn't going to happen.
But, I have my first Half on 8/7. The YOU GO GIRL! HALF/or 10K is on 9/26 (I was considering a different event which is the AFLAC Iron Girl 10K), but I will commit to the HALF as part of the challenge...was trying to decide between the two.
Will have to see what else is around! WORST case scenario, I have a Half training route, complete with hills, mapped around my "hood".

Every morning in Africa
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

While I'm going to enter "official" races. I certainly think running your own 1/2 course is totally reasonable and fabulous to boot! Yeah!
If there are any 1/2's up in your area let me know as I'm still building the 2011 schedule.
On a separate note - I'm also a big fan of the Danskin Triathlon series. Isn't there one up in your neck of the woods?
I'll be at Danskin Austin 2011 for sure.

Hey Jo,
Yes there is a Danskin in Seattle area, however it sold out quickly, and since I don't own a bike (yet), tri's are a bit hard for me. LOL. Thinking of a bike for Christmas....

That is kind of funny that you bring it up because I was thinking of goals for 2011 and a 1/2 per month was something I was thinking about.
