Half of a Half Marathon

I've been debating about running another half marathon in September and/or October. I haven't been doing many long runs this summer (I've been doing 3-4 miles each time I run) so I wasn't sure if it was a wise thing to sign up for one until the spring when I could train in cooler weather.

Well, Saturday I was showing my Dad how my Nike+ worked and he said, "you're only running 2 times a week?" He really was just commenting since pre-Jake I ran 3-5 times/week, but it was a challenge to me. That was all I needed to hear! Half marathon, here I come! I ran Sunday afternoon and decided if I could do half of a half marathon then I would do it! Well, I did. I ran 6.5 miles and felt like I could have kept going but didn't have the time. Now it's just a matter of which one (or both?) and then signing up for it.

Here are the two I'm considering:

Asheville Citizen-Times Half Marathon - a friend from work is running this one and told me about it. It looks like it will be an amazing run through Asheville and Grove Park Inn.

Spinx Half Marathon - of course a popular one here in Greenville. I haven't run the half or the 5k in this race, so I definitely want to run one of them.

We had a delicious dinner tonight - teryaki fried rice with chicken. I'll post it shortly.

Happy Monday!
