I (Laura) must be nuts. I officially signed up to run the Prague 1/2 Marathon in March! A lot of my friends have planned to run this race too so I jumped on the bandwagon and have started rigorous training. Well, if anything, at least this will get me out of the house (in the winter I would rather sit in my warm flat curled up in a ball) and out exercising. I have a limit of 3 hours to finish it so if something goes wrong, I can walk the whole thing in that amount of time! On the other hand, the course is set to go through some of the most beautiful and historic parts of the city, which will be lots of fun to run through. And I have an advantage from the out-of-towners: I can start running parts of the course on the weekends and really know where I'm going (I'm little directionally challenged). Here's to finishing (whether walking or running) a whole 13 miles.
