Every year I volunteer with the Atlantic City Race Series for the runs in October and April. Last April I signed my best friend up to run her very first race which was a 7K, and then she ran a 10K in October and this year she signed up for the half marathon in April. Now my BFF is about 5'4" and 185 pounds, so these runs are big for her. I have committed to running the training with her for the half, long runs are easier with company. But because of my volunteer duties and the sheer amount of work this weekend entails I can't run it WITH her. Except that I can...I just found out I can register to run it as a Virtual Marathon, so I can run it anytime between now and race day, and get the bib and the medal just like I would if I was running it that day. So it's with great trepidation that I publicly announce that I've signed up for my first half marathon! Wish me luck!
