So we had this crazy, crazy idea....to run a MARATHON this year. This being my 30th year, it seemed like a perfect time to set this goal. Lindsay and a bunch of her friends are committing to the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco this October, so I have NO EXCUSE not to join them! Two girls have stepped up to the plate to be our Coaches and we even have a monthly team newsletter! It's pretty amazing.
Today is one of our teammates' birthdays - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TRACIE!!!! She lives in Alabama (the team is mostly from NC originally) and is a mother of two. She is one of the funniest people I know and I am positive she will keep us in high spirits during the marathon!
I just got back from a 4-miler with 3 other girls from my neighborhood. They have been running together at least 2x a week for the last 6 months. They can TALK and RUN at the SAME TIME. This is how you're supposed to know what pace you need to be at, but I am obviously not there yet because I am more of a 'pant-in-and-out-like-a-dog' type of runner right now.
Nonetheless, 4 miles down - 22.2 to go! We're searching for a team name right now, so submissions are welcome!!! We are all ladies, of varying ages (30s) and from all over the place, but all with Southern roots. Ideas?? Winning idea gets....a sweaty bandana from the final race (you know, like rock stars do at the end of a concert? no? not the same?) Ha ha.
