So I finally crossed the 5 mile mark... and it turns out that Casey really wasn't lying about the peanut butter pretzels. A couple of things she may have glossed over, however:
A) 6am on a Saturday is worse than any other 6am of the week.
2) Crippling knee pain at mile 2.75.
Y) Bikers from hell screeching, "LEFT!" in your (left) ear as they go wizzing by.
D) Amazingly delicious fudgy brownies (which taste EVEN BETTER after 5 miles of running/staggering), water, and massages at the end.
If I try it out again, minus the knee pain, it might not be so bad. On the other hand, my knee might just be anti-social (it didn't bother me one bit this morning on my run). If it is, we're really going to have a problem with the race, considering the number of people that will be there. I guess I'll have to show up at another group run to socialize it one of these days...

PS: I knew Casey would like the Marathon Method better than the Non-Runner's Guide. And please, feel free to comment about what kind of nerd decides to run a 1/2 marathon, then goes out and buys a bunch of BOOKS about it instead of just getting started.

A very special kind of nerd. But I am finding the Marathon Method really helpful, so I won't comment any further..
