WRS offers a half marathon and a 5K in certain cities all over the US (Bloomington, Nashville, Scottsdale, St Petersburg and hopefully more someday). I was lucky enough to be given this opportunity to race the half marathon in beautiful Scottsdale, AZ. I chose the half distance since it will be my first half marathon, ever! And I want my first half to be in a fun and exciting atmosphere.
The race expo should be fabulous as it is put on by the elite Competitor Group, the same folks who bring you the Rock N Roll Marathon Series. I also love that every person gets a special finishers medal that turns into a necklace charm. How proud would you feel wearing that little beauty after you just did your first half marathon?
Do you want to run with me? I know your first thoughts are "I could NEVER run a half marathon." First, stop thinking that. Yes you can. There are approximately 220 days until November 3rd, 2013. That is plenty of time to get ready. Training guides can be found here: Women's Running magazine.
Start training to BE AMAZING!
As a selected blogger for WRS you get to follow along with me while I train until November. I may also have a few surprises for my fellow runners and readers so stay tuned. In addition, I have a code to share with you to get $10.00 off your registration fee. The coupon code is KEEPRUNNING
Sounds like a fun race. Maybe they'll have one in the northeast someday!
ReplyDeleteThe Nashville, TN race in the women's series was my first ever half marathon back in 2010! :)
