After some detective work, I have found the first 1/2 marathon I will run this year.... the Pine Line Trail Marathon (or in my case, the 1/2 marathon) on April 25th. Marathonguide.com has a fantastic interactive map that you can find races that are just on Saturday so I could easily find one that was within a few hours (3 hours in this case) of my place AND is on a Saturday. I was looking around at what else there is to do in this little po-dunk town of Medford, WI and I almost wish I wasn't running all morning. There is a great Ice Age trail there that has great geological things from the ice age. I think I might try to hit part of the trail some time after the race. I figured I should probably try to get what I can in while I'm there since I'm pretty sure I'll never be back to Medford, WI again in my life.Now I need to start training! I still go to the gym but I haven't been really training for a race. I guess it is better than starting from scratch. April will come way too fast.
Just one last race to pick to finish my physical goal! I think I'll do one around Octoberish timeframe and make some of my friends here race with me. There is a great one up around Lake Superior that I might consider.

I'm looking at the quarter marathon circuit. I think my shins would explode on a half, but more power to ya!
