Oh My Goodness!


Jeepers! What have I got myself into!? Okay, I know what I got myself into but I'm a little nervous about it. See, I signed Alayna and I up for a half-marathon in October in Moab, Utah. We are going to join my sister and two of her daughters, her two daughters-in-law, and sister of one of the daughter-in-laws for the half-marathon. Before we moved to Tennessee I was running 4 miles four times a week and it was to the point of being fairly easy. But since the move to Tennessee, I've only run a few times. Yes, I'm out of shape and definitely have some extra pounds to prove it. It took me some time to register for the half-marathon because I knew if I did, I would have to commit myself to getting in shape. I want to be able to run all or most of the 13.1 miles. Yes, it will be good for me- and I really want to do the Music City half-marathon next April. And so the pain begins.......
Jogging is very beneficial. It's good for your legs and your feet. It's also very good for the ground. It makes it feel needed. ~Charles Schulz, Peanuts
