We're off to the Olympic Peninsula so I can run my first half marathon.
I've been sick this week, so I missed my last long run, but I did do 8 miles last Saturday and 6 miles on Wednesday, so I suppose I'm as ready as I'll ever be. The weather is expected to be cloudy and cool, but not rainy. I'd prefer a little sun, but I'll take no rain (hopefully!).
The good thing about running your first race is that any time will be a personal best! Also, given our upcoming move, I figure that this is one of the last times I'll be running a race outside for a while.

This is the story of a young couple from Seattle. They started this blog when they moved to Japan for year in 2005. Since then, the blog has become a record of their lives, friends, cooking, and travels. Follow along at home as they discover a new foreign country: Texas, where they moved in 2008. In July of 2009, the couple added a native Texan, Natalie Beth, to their family. In January of 2013, another native Texan, Jacob Samuel, joined the team.

Yay! Go, Kate! Good luck. I'm in awe of your sportiness.
Go, Kate, go!!! You should be so proud, I know I am! Good for you for setting a goal and going for it. :) I'm looking forward to eating celebratory cupcakes with you very soon!
LUCK! You are my half-marathon-running hero.

Congratulations on your training and participation!
You'll be happy to know that my training continues: I was able to read the whole link about the half-marathon without tiring too much! Next month, I will read a story about a whole marathon (!).
