Salem, OR 70.3 coming up in a couple weeks. Anyone else running it?

Last year around this time I decided to get in better shape and needed a fitness goal so I decided I was going to run a marathon. I picked the closest marathon to my location, which was a year later. I've never been a runner so I started doing short (as in 1 mile!) runs in January after hunting seasons were over to get in running shape and to a point I could effectively start to train. Then in March this thread popped up and I've been quietly lurking ever since. I'm happy to say I finished the race today!

Thank you to @OregonSteeler for starting this thread as it has helped to motivate and keep me accountable.
