Half Marathon Training

I started running regularly and working out about 2 months ago.  It's been the first time that I really feel dedicated to an exercise routine since high school, and even then it wasn't my dedication to exercise that got me to do it - it was a coach yelling at me to run.  After hearing some coworkers talk about a half-marathon they are getting ready for in January, I decided to join them in training.  I am going to run a half-marathon (13.2 miles) on January 29th.  I'm pretty excited about it and the training is going even better than I expected.  Thankfully I've got a running buddy who is signing up for the race as well and we agreed to do our long runs (on Saturday) together.  She's got a marathon already under her belt so I feel secure in my running buddy choice.  The more people I tell, the more accountable I feel to actually do it, hence my blog post.
