Holy Crap, what am I doing?!

Never in a million years did I think I would ever be writing this sentence... 

Next year at this time, I will be a Half-Marathoner!  

I did it - I signed up for The Cleveland Marathon Half Marathon next year on May 19th!  

And I CANNOT wait! 

This leaves me one full year to really train, and work towards a 3:00.00 finish.  

For now, I am going to continue on my 12 in 12 for 2012.  I added another 10k for October, and am already planning on which races I want to do next year (hello Towpath Trilogy, Cleveland 10 Miler). 

My plan is to go back to basics over the course of the summer and try to get stronger, get lighter and possibly get faster in my 5k's and build from there.

I know it is one year from now, but I cannot keep my excitement from bubbling over!

Any tips for this 1/2 Marathon newbie?  What fun gear will I need?
