Well, I didn't do anything, but three members of my family all sat poised at the computer at exactly 12 noon to apply. I was running the VHTRC Women's Half Marathon at that moment, and without a proxy me , there was no way to get in. But one of the three had success in a race that sold out in seconds, so that was my first sign that it was meant to be! Now, its late December and I am in full training mode, thanks to my fearless and knowledgeable Coach and tons of support from family and friends. My training plan is taped to the refrigerator and I religiously follow the workouts, forcing myself to develop a taste for gu's, and ensure and gatorade recovery drink. I run when it is windy, snowy, rainy, hot, cold, day and night. As the training ramps up, this blog will tell the story of my First 100 miler!
