My sister in law, Nikki, is a running machine. She ran a 1/2 marathon last month in CA, and ever since, I have been thinking that I'd like to be able to cross it off my "have to do before I die" list. So, when my friend Kellie Culbertson suggested the Mickelson Trail Marathon in June, I jumped on it.
I don't know if anyone ever trains on a treadmill, but that's what I am going to have to do - winter is just too brutal around here to train consistently outside.
So, I'm starting with 2 miles tonight.
I am thinking I will need new iTunes, new workout clothes, and new shoes, right?! I mean, this is a serious challenge and I need the tools to succeed...
So, there it is. I'm off to register!

ooo, I am so jealous! A trail marathon is my dream, I ran a 1/2 a few years back, the last half was on asphalt and it was brutal. I always say I would do another if it was all on trail... you'll rock it!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! I'll cheer you on in spirit. Wonder if I know how to run? I really don't think I do and haven't HAD to since 7th grade basketball. After that running fiasco I signed up as team manager... All the perks of missing school and no running required!!
ReplyDelete"Team Manager" -- brilliant, Paula!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement, ladies. :)
I'm so proud of you! Hopefully we can make it out to see you at the finish line!
