I run to be ..... Nike's Women's Marathon 10.16.11


Ok so this is not craft related, but I am VERY excited about it.  After much encouragemnet and trying to become more active (and loose the extra pounds along the way) I have signed up for my firs HALF marathon. I know it's not a full one, but hey I want to set up a realistic goal so half a marathon with 6 months to train should be very doable and get me (lazy butt) off the couch.

I am on my 3rd week of trainning and have gone from a couch potato to running 3-4 times a week. I still cannot do a full run on my 2mile intro run, but I have have improved my running time by 3 minutes in just 3 weeks!! (considering my first run was more of a 2 mile walk ha ha). The only bad thing here is that this marathon is done by random drawing. You register between today and April 22. They do a random drawing by the end of the month to choose the participants. So I will keep running and pretend I am IN but I should know for sure by the end of the month.

The motto is I RUN TO BE ... (fill in the blank)... what would you run for?

  2. I'm not sure exactly why but this blog is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I'll check
    back later and see if the problem still exists.
