A major running milestone!!

I was officially selected to run in the Nike Woman's Half Marathon on October 17, 2010! It takes place in San Francisco, which is just north of my home in San Jose and as I think Karly and Jaclyn my friends who walked their asses up and down the street of the city will attest, it is a hilly mess!!

I am so excited to start a dedicated training plan, but since it's not until October I have to be sort of 'careful' not to get over trained and burnt out before go time!

In celebration of the hills that will be coming for me and the beautiful day that is today, I am going to go run the dish which is known as a busy fun hilly run through the foothills near Stanford.

Over the next few months I am totally dedicated to hitting the hills and actually pounding the pavement instead of the dreadmill! My legs totally need to get used to the road rather than my favorite cloud like experience on the 'soft' treadmills at my gym.
