I did this race last year.  http://www.stmichaelsrunningfestival.com/

I had initially siged up for the half but then ended up doing the 10K because of a hamstring injury over the winter.

Right now I am waiting to have VSG surgery 2/11/2015 and plan on running the 10K race again this year.

Get on board and start your training.  Download a couch to 5K program (iTunes what ever) and just follow the daily walks runs.

Its proven that if you can run 3 miles then you can run 6.  So start working on a 5K. So what who cares how slow you go.  My only goal in any of my races has been to run continuously without stopping.  I go slow.  I've rand 2 half marathons and each time I've walked so I haven't' reached that goal yet.  Each has taken me over 3 hours to complete.

Want to have a flat cool fun run, go to this race because it is a blast.

I think you get $10 the half by using her code: AMBOMARRAG

I was kidding, thanks for trying, I will try when I apply.  Last year I did the 10K (at 320 lbs) and it took me over an hour, and the beer at the end was the best beer Ive ever had I think.

I ran the 10K at Shamrock too last year and a bunch of local stuff.

I'm hoping to do a full marathon someday, maybe Columbus in the fall.  I did their half 2 years ago and ran with my cousins and it was an awesome time.

I will do the Fredrick run with you if you do the St. Michaels run with me :)

If you can get to Leesburg at 3am you can drive with me to St Michaels.

Just throwing out ideas.
