Anyone for a run??

We're at it again!! We (Jen, jeffrey, mike and I) are going to run in the Virginia Beach Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon. It's Labor Day weekend, August 31st. Pre-registration ends May 15th. We are thinking of going up Saturday and coming home Monday (it's labor day people). If you have been wanted to try something like this, I heard it's an awesome run. We have fast, slow (me), and in between runners, so don't think you can't do it. You have 16 weeks of training. Go to http://www.runnersworld.com/ and you can create a running plan. We could even have a running group start training, maybe for the long runs on Saturday. Anyways, I think you should do it, so sign-up.
P.S. we are looking for places to stay, so if you know of anyone let me know. :)

Start your ENGINES!!

Amanda - Sounds like you're gonna have a great time. Have you ever stayed at a Hostel? They are a great communal experience. Take a look at this one:

Howard- I didn't know you were a fellow blogger. I've never stayed at a hostel, but it looks pretty fun. have you stayed at this one specifically?

Amanda - I've not stayed at this one myself so I can't say for sure how good it is. I pointed this one out because it seems to be near where you'll be doing the 1/2 marathon. Hostels are a nice change because all the guests have to cook and clean for themselves. This can create a nice community spirit if the right people come together at the right time. They are not fancy but you can save some money there as compared to a hotel. I think everyone should do a hostel at least once just for the experience. =)
