It's official -- Mrs. Team BRAZO to attempt her 1st Half-Marathon

I'm pleased to announce that Mrs. Team BRAZO is going to attempt her first Half-Marathon at the Door County Half Marathon.

After signing her up for the Half Marathon, I asked her if she was excited to run the Half-Marathon and her response was fast/quick/no thinking "NO". She has been running with me over the last 3.5 years with her longest run being around 10 miles. She normally runs 3-4 times a week along with a swim and a couple days on the bike -- so she has the base fitness, just needs to work on the "long runs".

I explained to her that the long races are really fun because around 3 miles before the end of the race, you need to fight through "this sucks" feeling and just get it done. She explained to me that she gets the "this sucks" feeling around her 5th step into the run -- so this will make it very fun.

So, Team BRAZO is very pumped to add another endurance athlete to the mix -- maybe IronMan Brazil 2009??
