Hello everyone, I have heard a great deal about this website from my brother coach markos.
I ran my first half this last saturday, literally side by side with my brother and it was a blast. Since I started running regularly, a year ago I have stuck to mainly 5K's. I always talked about a half but never really thought I could do it, My bro (coach markos) asked if I would be interest in a half in my home town of Brookings and well, I could not say no.
I trained the last three months thinking is this really going to be worth it? I said to my bro at mile 10 on saturday "this is the farthest I have ever ran right now" I have to say it was worth every minute of training and to do it along side my brother made it even more special. I met Gdogg and his wife who are both great people. I think I am hooked. Just thought I would introduce myself as the new guy. Looking forward to getting to know everyone, take care. Harm

Harm!
You didn't even tell me you posted this.
well, you did great buddy. And, I'm so glad you finally joined the forums...now we got to get you to post more! 
(harm moved like the day after this was posted, and hasn't had internet until, I think, today. I'll call him tomorrow and get him involved.)
