Martian Marathon...10K

Ok, before I can run my half marathon, I need to get in some practice. So while I'm training, I read that it was good to get in some other races and build up to your big goal! The first one is the Martian Marathon, Saturday, April 10th.

I did a 10K last year, but I haven't run since then (yikes!). So, I thought I'd use this one as my first builder. It will motivate me to start my training and get my gear - two things I have yet to do. I will say, I am scared, but I'm excited too. I know running is supposed to be great for your body, especially your legs (which seem to be my problem area).

I'm heading to the Running Fit store (schedule permitting) tomorrow for shoes and advice. I'll let you know what happens....yeah!!
