I just signed up for my first half!

I may have lost my mind, but I just signed up for my first half marathon!

I'm running the St. Jude half in Memphis as a St.Jude hero--I've committed to raising $500.

I go back and forth on liking running--I love race days, but don't always like training. The longest run I've done is a 4 miler. I am somewhat out of running shape, so I plan on spending this summer getting back into it, then starting a training plan about 10-12 weeks out.

I want to do the half to say I've done one, since I've toyed with the idea for so long (I may not do another). And I have heard so many great things about this race in particular--it is sort of like checking off something on my Memphis "to do" list since we hope to move at some point. I may end up walking half of it, but I will do it!

So excited! And nervous!

Congrats and good luck! I ran the Nashville race as a St Jude Hero and I really appreciated how awesome it was to have the support of the St Jude's folks calling every month or so to check in and answer questions.

Yay! I have heard good things about that race--but that it is a little hilly maybe? My friend ran it as her first (and only) half last year and LOVED it. Good luck with the training, and like others said, keep us posted on how everything is going!
