Good luck with your training. It's nice to have another person from Arizona on the blog, even though I have no idea who you are or where you're from. You sound like you're pretty cool, and I bet you work at an office with the coolest guy in the world right next door to you, but that's just the vibe I'm getting. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Welcome aboard!! Now get Bethany to join :)

Welcome to the blog, was it Del Sol Relay that you ran? I did that one this past year and it is a great race.

Welcome to the blog! I am pretty new too but I love this site, it is a good way to track your progress. I am also training for a half marathon in October and started on that not too long ago, so we are in the same boat! Good luck in your training and let me know how it is going :)

Yes, Walter, it was the Del Sol I ran. It was awesome! Of course, I ran it quite slower than you did, but hey, I ran it!

You know its hot as hades right now there and you have to plan your runs accordingly but its opposite for us in the winter months. We have to plan our runs to combat the snow. So I am jealous of you runners down there during the cold times.

Del Sol is a great race and it doesnt matter that you ran it slower than me. I ended up running mostly in the dark anyway. But running that period is such a great challenge as well as fun. I would like to try the ones they have in the north west and oregon.

Yes, I'm not jealous of your winter weather. I wish we had actual seasons here, but I'm not sad that it doesn't get miserably cold (that's for sure!). It looks like there are some good races coming up down here this winter. I'm really looking forward running in some of them.

I remember my first marathon I did in San Diego during the winter and it was 15 degrees with a horrible inversion in Salt Lake. I landed in S.D. and was blown away to see people out biking and running and rollerblading. I was soo freakin' jealous. Then I did R&R Arizona and loved it and Del Sol and I just love doing races down there and breaking away from the crap we have. Its almost impossible to run when it snows because the plows push it right to the white line and the drivers here suck. So You have to plan it out to run at 4am in 5 degree weather. Not fun! Lots of treadmill action

Thanks for the comment yesterday! Good luck on the half marathon training--it was training for, and then running that race that got me hooked on the running bug again! Which one are you running?
