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".

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.

as long as it doesn't have to be official, I'm in!  I have a 15 miler already done for July.  I have been looking at a race for December and was leaning towards white rock in Dallas, but vegas sounds a lot more fun ;)

Nah. Totally doesn't need to be official. 13.1 miles is 13.1 miles however you slice and dice it.
