Got back from Chicago last night, and had some time to reflect on my goals while there.
I might be able to finish a half-marathon by the fall of this year, but my body is telling me it will be quite a struggle. When you're 60, the endurance --- or least my endurance -- just doesn't return as rapidly as one might hope. So..... my new goal is to run a 5 mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day morning and complete a half-marathon next Spring. Initially, I was bummed out about "only" completing a 5 mile event; how quickly I've forgotten that a mere 4 months ago I wasn't doing anything. (And even if I decide later this summer to cut back to a 5k, I don't care. I'm still moving forward, and I will eventually get to the marathon.)
Weights; 30' bike; 30' walk

Good thinking! Laying a solid base leads to less chance of injury. Sprin is a perfect time to run a half. Maybe the PIG???? It will set you up perfectly for a fall 2008 marathon.
