This will strengthen you up and increase overall performance. Also, do some sprints occasionally to get your heart into overdrive. Just be careful not to overdo it and recognize your limitations. Anyway, good luck and have a blast!
Thanks. On a recommendation I got the book "The Nonrunners Marathon Trainer". Good book so far. I figured can use it to prep for the half and then should I want to do a full one, I have a good reference to get there. Today was a easy 3 mile run. I did just over 5k in my best time yet.
