Just finished "Marathoning for Mortals" and I think I am ready for our first day of training.

Just trying to figure out all the settings so ignore this posting. Has nothing to do with training for a half marathon and those of you annoyed with email updates just let me know and I'll remove you from the listing.

Our registration for the Olympic Discovery Half Marathon

Way To Go!!!

I am so very excited. I am almost giddy. Enjoy that wine as much as you can. I think I might have to make a Pina Colada to help you all celebrate. Cheers!!! "Here's to a GREAT Challenge. I am so glad to be a part of it." My first race is February 13th (a 5K). I am currently in week 2 of my 18 week training, 4 miles scheduled tomorrow. Also had my Green Smoothie for the day.

We can blog from anywhere now. This is great!

The beginning. . .

So we officially signed up for the half marathon today. We have our first race in two weeks and start a 14 week training program on Monday. So our thoughts were that we would track our progress and hopefully inspire others along the way. Those of you that are wondering where this idea came from you can thank my little sister. She has inspired me from her blogs. BTW-Karen-thank your friend. We have started with the green smoothies. . .

Anyway, both Renee and I will be adding our thoughts, charting our progress and venting our frustrations as we move through the next five months leading up to the race. We plan to participate in many local races as part of the Hermes Road Race Series and look forward to uploading results and hopefully adding pics of our running pals. Yes, Cindy, Leslie and Christie you are being challenged.

So two days of gluttony left and my wine is calling my name. . .

See everyone on Monday when one of us will post the results of our first work out.
