just registered for my first HM!

It is a women's only race, so I think it will be a great way to start out. I am so excited! I have until December to freak out about it, ha.

[shauni27]

You will do great! You have plenty of time to train and get comfortable with the idea of running longer distances. How exciting!

congratulations. You will do great. December will give you plenty of time to train in cooler weather too.

I am moving from NJ back to TX in August, so I won't have quite as much of a window of cool weather, but it should still be enough time. I hope! I am going to work on increasing my distance while we still live here so that after the move I will just need to get used to the different weather.

I worked a water station at RunGirl last year and froze my butt off. I love all the TriGirl races and am hoping to maybe run RunGirl this year, if not, my tri team works the water stations.

It's really, really fun. I was scared of the longer distance but discovered I love it! Good luck!

[stinkerbell6879]

[lobstertail]

Congrats! It feels amazing, you won't regret it!

[agzram]

Awesome! Can I ask how long you have been running? I just started running at the first of the year and want to sign up for a HM in August. Not sure if I'm being too ambitious. Anyway, GL!!

[shelbyann]

Congrats and good luck with your training!

[statwaldy]

Well, I was a runner many years ago, and just started up again in March. So I wasn't really totally starting from scratch...I'd say that I had a good fitness base when I started up again. I don't think I'd be ready for a HM in August. I mean, I could probably do it, but I probably not as quickly as I'd like to.

[jerseyjessie]

Good Luck!!! You'll be great..you have alot of time to train and get used to the distance. Good Luck with the move!

[katinthehat]

Woohoo! Can't wait to run it with you! At least, the first half mile until you leave me behind!

I am not so sure about that! Remember, this will be my first HM!

But yes, we totally need to meet up there. And before that too, once I am back in Houston. I told my DH that I "kind of knew someone in Houston who was a big runner and also has 2 girls" and that I was going to wedge my way in to her life, lol
