Disneyland Half-Marathon

There are few... okay no places I love more than The Happiest Place On Earth, Disneyland!  In September there is a huge race right smack in the middle of D-land.  Recently my beautiful and optimistic friends Christine and Caitlin have decided that we should push ourselves to train for and compete in the half-marathon. 
For the past 4 or 5 years I've had a casual on-again-off-again affair with running.  It's usually a part of my workouts atleast a few times a week and I've completed 2 5K races (big whoop when we're talking half-marathons) but I rarely run farther than 3 miles and I always keep my pace between 10 and 12 minute miles.  Needless to say, I have some serious reservations about being able to complete the half-marathon and skipping over the 10K distance althogether.  However, I am ultra competetive and rarely shy away from a challenge and putting my progress up here will hopefully help to keep me on the ball. 

So here goes- my first half-marathon training report:
Today, to kind of test my starting point I ran an easy 30 minutes at 5 mph and a 1% incline.  I felt really good, and although I was getting tired near the end I could have kept running but I was getting bored.  All I could think about was that I had only been running for 30 minutes and it would take me a good 2 1/2 hours to finish a half-marathon!  I'll keep you posted.
