As you may have caught in my Spending Freeze post, I’ll be running my first half marathon in June!  I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t really been much of a runner since my track/cross country/field hockey days in my teenage years.  Running a half marathon is always something I’ve said I’d like to do some day, so this year will be the year I do it – I’m registered for the Chicago Women’s Half Marathon and kick off my official 12 week training program on April 1.  For now, I’ve been working on 2-3 mile runs to get myself back in shape, as well as stocking up on gear so I’ll be prepared to start running 5x a week.  Here are a few items I’ve got my eye on:

Do I have any runner readers?  I’m trying to get as much advice as possible to ensure that training goes well and injury is prevented – I’d love to hear any tips or gear recommendations!
