Well, I did it! Last night I registered for the Tobacco Road Half Marathon in March! The race is a local one (in Cary, North Carolina), and a good chunk of the course goes along a section of the American Tobacco Trail in Wake County. One of the biggest plusses for me is that the half marathon has a seven hour time limit! Not that I plan to take seven hours for a half, mind you! It means that the race, which has the same finish line as the full marathon, is walker-friendly! :)
Meanwhile, training at the gym has been going pretty well the past few days, but it's nice to have a race to focus on now. I'm tempted to do some 5Ks now for speed practice (and, truth be told, I love road race mornings!), but I'd be pretty slow right now.
And yes, I am watching the calendar! January 7 is my podiatrist appointment for casting the orthotics! Woohoo!

That's great! Signing up for a race is the best way to keep motivation high.
I love the fact that you pointed out the trail to me and I know where its at. You'll do awesome with your new orthodics.
