Just read this and I looooooved being your running buddy! And those mimosas (and the tart!) were amazing after that race. I strongly second the idea of a running buddy. Couldn’t have made it through without mine.

I hope that’s what a Twilight 5K is because that would be hilarious.

OMG, a Twilight 5K? Is Edward going to make an appearance? Because if the ladies get to chase after him I am sure some new time records will be set!

Hi, Ashely! Thanks for your comment and your encouragement. I am equal parts excitement and nervousness about the race, but I hope it goes well. The idea of running a half-marathon does sound daunting right now, but it does sound fun too. I’m off to check out your meetup.com group. Thanks for letting me know about it!

I came across this while reading the Austin Metabloggers. Congrats on getting that far! You’ll be amazed how the power of the crowd while pull you through easily on race day!

If you’re ever looking for more running buddies, try the meetup.com group “Austin Runners.” And I know it sounds INSANE probably to you now, but in August, I’m leading a half-marathon training group will the race goal of the Rock n Roll San Antonio. It’s a SLOW run, taking walk breaks every 3 minutes and will be very social (who doesn’t love mimosas?) If you keep up running 3 days a week, you can easily join in. (And it’s free).
(hope this doesn’t sound like spam ) Good luck on your race!

I’m always up for mimosa training!

I would love to do this someday but I’ll have to work up to it. Are there any training programs that start slow, like ones that don’t invovle running but have mimosas? I think I’d have to start with that….
