I did it again

Okay, I think that I am
Now officially crazy!I have now registerd to run
the Salt Lake City 1/2 marathon.
Okay, so it's not a full marathon...
It's going to take me some time to work up to
that again...I'm thinking maybe Sept, but
right now it's WINTER!!!!
It takes everything I have to
brave the cold, ice, and snow...
Good thing I talked a friend
Into Running it with me!
She makes it all worth it.
I MISSED YOU THIS MORNING JO!!!
GET WELL SOON :-)

  2. No way! I couldn't run around the block. Literally. But even after knee surgery, I doubt I'll ever choose to run around the block. You're amazing.

  5. AWWWW...that was sweet! I missed you too :-( Believe me, I WANT to bet back out there because I need it. I need the exercise, the challenge, and most importantly, my friend :-) Let's hope I am back in the game by Saturday...

  6. I think you're are MOVTIVATED! Wish I had some of that...send some my way. Someday I'd love to run a race - just not that long. :) I'm cheering for you!

  7. That's so great! How long do you run each day to prepare for something like that? It's on my list to do...maybe 2010! I need some of your discipline.

  8. The half marathon is a great one to start preparing for. average training runs are 2-4 miles long for the first couple of months - about 3-4 days a week. I never ran more than 8 miles when preparing for the Provo 1/2 marathon and I still made it :) If that seems crazy then prepare for a 10k (6mile) race by running 1-3 mile runs a few times a week and then move to 3-5 mile runs.

  10. Good for you, I am so impressed. I tried to keep up the morning running, but 6:00 was getting too cold and I am a pansy. I guess the Wii fit is going to have to do until spring thaw. :)
