I'm going to get winded. I'm going to get a major sideache. My legs are going to turn to jelly. And I'm a 50-year-old female that has had two kids who will be drinking lots of water to stay hydrated and running. Will we be allowed potty breaks?
Let's think of more pleasant things.
I don't have any running shoes, unless the Reeboks I got several years ago (and have hardly worn) will work. I think those are really made for walking, but I'm not sure. I know they're very cushiony with what seems like a lot of support, but what do I know?
What do I wear while working out? Hey, maybe I'll have to go shopping! Workout clothes! Now I'll have an excuse to buy new coordinated outfits! Can anyone recommend a good sports bra? Maybe I'll get one of those fancy sports watches. If I can't be good, I can at least look good.
This is going to be fun!

Oh yes, this calls for a major equipment shopping excursion. One must look their best to do their best. Truly I think good shoes and socks are the thing to be most concerned about. You will want a watch that is a stop watch so you can time youself eventually.
Keep us up to date with all of your shopping and training. This is so exciting. Running... Can you walk if you would prefer?
Good for you, Kylee. I think you are on the right track with getting started excercise with accountability and trainers.
I encourage you to get some really good shoes- they make all the difference! I hope you LOVE it!
Lisa ~ Yes, I can walk the entire thing if I want to. What are they going to do - use a cattle prod on me? LOLOLOL I might just have to walk at times, but we'll see!
And the shopping...ohhhhh, the SHOPPING!!! :-)))
Meems ~ I don't envision myself as a runner following the half marathon. But if it gets me into a regular exercising routine, it will be worth all the pain and effort.
That's the number one thing that people have told me - get a good pair of running shoes.
