Announcement...
I have decided to run in a 1/2 marathon!! Ok, it's not that exciting of an announcement for most people but it is for me and since it's my blog, I am announcing it!! :) I have had such a great experience with running (no, I never thought I'd say that) over the past 11 weeks that I have decided to become a "runner". Yes, a runner. With two 5K runs in my belt, I am moving on up! I have my dear friend Kelly to thank for this CRAZY idea! It is her idea to run in the 1/2 marathon in Dallas in April. So we will be "training" together through texts, emails, and blogs! Go Kelly! So I thought about it and realized that this was a goal that I could really set for myself and be proud of when I accomplish it! I have also solicited great advice from a fellow runner and blogger (Ashley Hlavaty, thanks!) and I am ready to embark upon this adventure. I have added a ticker to the header of my blog to track my progress. My ultimate goal is to run 13 miles and today I ran 4!! Wow...I have a lot of work to do by April. Wish me luck!! Oh yeah, I am currently begging BJ, Jana, and Kami to participate with me. We will see. Any other volunteers?

Yes!!! We can do it! Remember...beer and pizza after the race..it was a blast last year (well, kinda..)
Anywho, I want that tracker..how do I do that!
You'll do great! You've got plenty of time to reach your goal. Who knows, after the half-marathon maybe you'll be entering some full marathons!! The Honolulu Marathon is an awfully beautiful race!!
Wow thats awesome! You are already over a third of the way there!!
You'll have to check out my new marathon tracker. After seeing yours and Kelly's I just had to get one!!
I'm glad you got some new shoes! It will be great for you. Did you get them a little big? My shoes are a size 10, and I usually were a 9. But today after my 12.9 run, my shoes were sooooo tight. Thank goodness I wasn't wearing my old 9's. My feet might have fallen off!
Hey sugar pop! Email me your new addy...I want to send you a little something....I'm glad you got new kicks...sorry about the cowboys..I know Will must have been crushed! Call me this weekend!
