I'm in. This will be my second half as well. I ran the Toledo (Glass City) HM last April.

My goal for the pig is to finish in under 2 hours and to have fun doing it. My first HM was not very fun. It was quite foggy and cold and I did not know anyone there. I am running the pig with a friend and hoping for some sunshine.

I'm not sure about those hills as I haven't raced it or trained on it before. Congrats on gearing-up for the full! Here's to good weather that day!

Congrats on finishing your first half, though I'm sorry it wasn't a good experience! That's a great goal to have. Definitely hoping for the sun's rays, too.

I'm training with the Running Spot for the 1/2 Pig (that's so fun to say!!!)  I have a training partner, and she and I ran 3 miles last night with our dogs.  We start with the Spot training group on Saturday and I am really excited!

This time last year if someone would have told me I was going to run a 5K or a 10K let alone a 1/2 marathon I would have said they were nuts. 

But I love saying "I am training for a half marathon and triathlons" now - it's COOL!

  (that's me with my cool running shades when the weather gets warm again)

Goal?  Right now it's just to finish, which I know I wll.  As I progress with the training group I will have a better idea of a time to shoot for.  I will set a time goal, I promise!

I've been told that the swag for this race if off the hook.  I think I'm in for the 1/2 (as long as Twink lets me crash at her place). 

My goal is to beat my Cap City 1/2 time.

Huh, huh, Duh Aysel of course you're crashing at my place. I'm in for the Half Pig as well...although this will be more of a training run then a race for me as I have a longer race at the end of May planned (damned Tri Daddy).

ETA: AmyDee it only gets better chick, it only gets better. I was in the same boat as you a year ago Here's to a great first season of running and triathlon for you. Cheers!
