Spring Training?

[houseelf]

Anyone commiting to a summer training program?

I've got three possible races in mind: Columbus, Indianapolis, and New York City. I'm still too chicken to actually sign up for the NYC lottery. I feel like you have to be a "serious" runner to travel to another city and run one of these mega marathons. My mentality is more along the lines of: "oh crap...how much do I *really* have to run in order to finish?"

Columbus consistently gets rave reviews but I might get Phoebe or Sally to run with me if I do Indy.

I should disclose the fact that I haven't run in...oh four months. If I start soon, I can train in six months.

Anyone, Anyone?

I signed up for a few 5k/5milers this summer. I'm considering the San Antonio marathon which is in November (a lovely time of year to visit...)

My trainer is bitching at me because me knee is still pretty wobbly but it's wobbly when I walk, when I go up steps, when I run- the activity doesn't seem to matter as much as the weather and the fact that I'm f-ing OLD!

My dear, dear friend has run the NYC twice (she lives there), and I wouldn't be surprised if she has plans to do it again. If you do decide to take the plunge, I can at least connect you with a warm-hearted person to start with (depending on how the lottery works - she was thrilled she got to start on top of the bridge last year).
