Exciting news!!!

It's official! Kim and I are running the Memphis Half-Marathon in December 2009! Here's the plan:

1. January to April: Drop some pounds to make running a little easier (also to give me time to finish nursing Andrew through his first year...thanks for being patient, Kim...I know you could run off and leave me but you would never do that!)
2. May to August: 16-week training program
3. September: 5K and begin to repeat portions of the training program until December arrives
4. October: 10K
5. November: Keep on runnin'...
6. December: HALF-MARATHON!!!!

Our ultimate goal is to finish the half-marathon in December, take a week off, continue training and complete the FULL Country Music Marathon in Nashville, TN in April 2010. I know we can do it. Keep us in your prayers that we don't kill ourselves, injure ourselves, run into oncoming traffic or just plain give up!

Sounds exciting wished I could start running again maybe one day. It has been almost a year since I have run or jogged so I will definetly have to start from scratch again. I wish ya'll both the best and hope that you can train and complete the marathons.
