A half marathon... WHAT?!?

As Mikes knows, I get these crazy ideas all the time. And I actually follow through on about 10% of them. Law school was one that I followed through on (only 1 year left)!

I've always dreamed of running a half marathon. But, lets be real, I'm not that athletic. For some reason people assume that I love to hike and be outside because I'm married to Mike. The truth is, I hate hiking. It hurts my knees and I can't breathe.

I casually told my good friend Lisa that we should run a half marathon this year. I think the longest either of us has run lately is 3 miles... although I did run 7 miles once... two years ago. Lisa thought the half marathon was a great idea! And decided that we should do it in October at the Moab Other Half. Lisa's husband said he would do it with us. I asked Mikes and he said no way.

So, anyone want to join me?

Umm... I would do it but no way i'll be ready by October. Just no time with the kiddos to run for hours. Maybe by next spring I'd be ready. BIG OL' MAYBE!

Heather, I actually considered joining you for about 5 minutes. After reading that it's in October, I realized I'm too chicken crap to be ready by then...plus I definitely don't have $75 at the moment. :( Good luck!!!

OOh this sounds so fun! I ran the covered bridges half in woodstock in june. If I can do it, you can do it! I would join you if October wasn't already so busy . . .
