Half Marathon Motivation....

So, I'm still going to attempt to train for the half marathon.  Even though it's been SUPER cold here.  Training starts December 11th and I hope to run a half-marathon April 30th. 

I decided that I needed some sort of prize to work toward.  I was going to do this with the 10k, but I found that I didn't actually need a material motivation because it wasn't that difficult.  This is going to be harder however.  I don't have many good places to go on long runs and it's going to be cold from now until March.  So my motivation this time is a new dress.  Hopefully when I get about half way through training I will start looking really good. (hahaha)  So a new, fun dress will be a nice treat. 

Maybe I'll pick something like one of these....

All of these dresses are from modcloth.com

Maybe this will give me a bit more motivation.  (Plus the high entry fees of half marathons.. yikes!)
