Gearing up for my 1st half

Well, it's been a long while since I've posted.  I've been working out and running lots, but winter running in small town Iowa is anything but eventful.  I think I picked the wrong time to start my blog because there doesn't seem to be anything that is very inspiring right now.  Maybe once the spring/summer running and racing season comes I will have more exciting things to post.  For right now I am enjoying keeping up with other people running blogs.  I am envious of the warm weather runners who can take part in weekly races.  For me, it will have to wait for atleast Apr. or May. 
  Some exciting news though...I am very close to deciding on my first 1/2.  I have been looking at the Stillwater MN. 1/2 on May 29th.  The date is perfect, as hubby is off work for the weekend, but it falls the weekend before Iowa's largest distance run, Dam to Dam...hmm, what to do.  Either a 1/2 with hubby able to watch or 20K possibly without him there.  What's a girl to do??  I have printed out some training plans I anticipate loosely following.  I'm gonna take one more 6 week session of bootcamp starting next week, then I'm gonna designate my time soley to the training.  Hope everyone has had a great start to their New Year, we sure have.
