OK so I finally decided I should post something on our beautiful blog! Today MaLea and I went to the doctor just for a little check up and as we were talking he told us that he wanted to give us a challenge. MaLea and I had no idea what was coming! He said as sisters I want you guys to train for a half marathon and then run the hobble creek half marathon..... WHAT?! Is he insane? Something like that....Do I run? Nope! Does MaLea run? Nope! Well I guess its a good start. We cant exactly turn the doctor down on a challenge... So the first thing I did was recruit some people, I figure that those I recruit will hold me too it! I recruited Jennifer June, Aunt Jenny, Aaron, and of course mom! The marathon is August 22 @ 7:15AM, we can register May 1st! The website is http://www.srcevents.com/hobblecreek/. I'm looking for a training schedule and I'm going to go get the book "The Non-runners Guide to Running Marathons." recommended by Aunt Jenny. I'm so excited as of right now, I hope that I can keep up the excitement!

Just so you know...I am a non-runner that ran a half marathon!! I enjoyed it so much! You can totally do it. I think I found a training schedule online. It recommends starting to train at least three months before the race. Obviously, the sooner the better. As soon as Trent gets his first paycheck, we are getting gym passes at Anytime Fitness...it is right down the road. I am excited to do this - you need to think of a name for our team and then we should get t-shirts made! Fun, fun, fun!!!
