Top Ten Reasons to Run a Half-Marathon

10. God gave me two legs so I should use them.
9. I did it before, I can do it again.
8. Only 1 percent of the population has ever run a half-marathon.
7. Its only 2 hours and 15 of my life.
6. Everyone was born a natural-born athlete, we just grew up, got lazy, and lost our way. Its time to return to it and celebrate it.
5. My last half-marathon was 6 years ago. I lost my bragging rights and need to get them back.
4. My kids can't run with me. Its the only "me" time I have.
3. Running is the best weight management and therapy tool there is.
2. I turn 40 this year; can't think of a better way to kick off the second half of my life.
1. Because I can. I absolutely can.
