San Jose Half-Marathon

Yesterday I ran in my first half-marathon. It was a really amazing experience. Just running with 11000 other people is crazy and cool. I was very happy with my time, 2:03:52. I was very tired at the end, and I'm still a little sore the next day. I will definitely run another half marathon next year (gotta crack 2 hrs!) maybe in the San Francisco Marathon in July. Who knows. For now, I'm going to ease up on the running the rest of the year and probably swim a lot more. Running a half was my #2 resolution for 2007. It's nice to cross it off the list!

Michael Galpin: May 9, 1974 - October 14, 2007

It's official. I'm going to die on October 14, 2007. That's the date of the San Jose Rock n' Roll Half-Marathon. I've been training for it for a couple of months now, and I've stepped that up recently. I did a 10-Mile run about a month ago, and that was definitely a huge physical challenge. I've got less than six weeks to get ready for 13 miles! Definitely going to die...
