Ummm....Guess what I did yesterday??

That's a great idea!
I've got it on my list of things to do one day but have never done anything about it. Like you DH I am a bit worried about my knees. When you are successful it will really inspire me to get going!

WHoo hoo! Congrats Jen! I run a little but not sure I would be brave enough to run even a half marathon! lol You can do it!!!!!

We'll be down there that weekend! I'll cheer you on!:clap::clap:

We thought about doing the Circle of Life 5k at AK but this year it was on a Thursday and we aren't arriving until Friday. I would love to do that though. It's only $40 to enter and my DS's DGF ran 5k for cross country in school this year so she wants to do it too.

Jen, what would this world be like without you?! :)

First, thanks everyone! I'm actually, surprisingly very exicted for this!! I know I've surprised many people w/this, but I know they're excited for me too!

THAT'S the site Tricia! I know there are others, but my friend LOVES this one!! When is your half marathon? Have you ever run one before?

Mostly the one Tricia mentioned, but I did a search on first half marathon tips & many others came up!!

Wow!! That's amazing! And I learned last night what a Goofy was!! I don't think I'll ever do that...may try to convince my friend to though so I have someone to run with!!

Oh Lisa...the better question is what would the world be w/o YOU in it!! I'm just going to try to run...you, you've had to conquer a lot more than that!! Heck, maybe that will be my other motivation...I'm just trying to run....others have gone through much harder battles & won...I CAN do this!!

Mine is in May. The Indy Mini is like the biggest mini marathon in the country or something. It's HUGE. And scary. But I started training for many of the same reasons as you....good motivation to get my butt in gear and keep me on track.

Well I am so proud of all of you! Can't wait to hear all about it ")

Good for you! Keep us posted on your progress!

So proud of you Jen! You can do this! And you will be so proud of yourself too!

Jen...how exciting! I think it will be a great thing to do. Best part...your favorite place....wow! I look forward to hearing about your journey and when you run....I will be cheering you on!!!! Ra Ra Ra!
