The Big Decision

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the the mini -marathon post. I have decided to do it!!! I figure there are no rules that state I can't walk if I'm dying and this is probably a once in a lifetime chance. I'm going to take it! So a good friend and I have been training and I am excited to say that things are going pretty well. On Saturday we did a 10 mile run and despite the fact that my body wanted to stop we made it and I felt great after accomplishing such a huge goal. The weather is getting better and better here so we can run outside and that makes a huge difference. Thanks again for all the encouragement, I will keep you all posted.

Good luck on the mini. I always wanted to run it, but we were only in Indy for a year. Maybe one day when I am not prego!!

Laura said...

Good Luck on your training! I hope everything goes well.

I admire you for tackling such a huge goal. Because I hate running, I'm impressed by all people who do it for fun!

So you go by Becky now? I'm totally confused, I seriously thought they were talking about someone else and I was wondering why they were talking to someone else on your blog. I'm getting a little slow in my old age. I'm thinking about doing a marathon but I'm feeling a little behind in my training. I've always wanted to so I should just do it with your motivation. It may be too late to sign up now that I think about it.

So...I've been bad at replying to comments...checked the comments and saw yours again and then I could not remember if I had replied or not...:)But just in case I forgot to do it the first time, we're going to NOrth Penn...1 hr north of philly and 1 hr west of NY. We're going with Jared and Karly! Now we're just missing you in the "wives club"..hehe! We might have to rush down coz we can't leave till the 23rd of this month coz my bro. is going into the mtc that morning. But if Tim's speedy driving makes up for some time..we're try to stop over on the way to Penn. If not, we'll definitely stop over on the way back. Karly said she might stop over too. Who knows...maybe we can all meet up at the same time..haha..We'll see. Email me your telephone number again just in case. And um...wow...a marathon...I'm just too lazy to even go to the gym so wow...you're my hero now!
