My Running Gear!!!
Yes, that would be the reaction I am getting from everyone when I tell them that I am trying to train to run a 13 mile marathon!!!! Some how I got myself into this mess!!! My friend Jessi is an avid runner... and when I say avid I mean CRAZY runner! Her and some friends are going to do the 13 mile marathon in Disneyland... So, I originally agreed to just go and watch... you know Disneyland is one of my most favorite places on earth!!! and some how some way I am now running!!! What??? I know are you crazy? are you serious? Why would someone choose to do this and torture yourself if you don't have to? I ask myself this every time I hit the running trail! Well, I have completed my 2nd week... and I HATE it!!! Well, the shin splints were killing me and then I got he 5:30am wake up call of leg cramps that lasted for DAYS! I am a little excited ( I wont admit that anywhere else but here!!) if I can complete this goal and accomplish somethin major I will be so incredibly proud of myself. I have captain Jessi pushing me and my wonderful husband who goes to the gym with me! I just don't get how natural it looks when he runs? I almost think he enjoys it!!! So, a reason to shop...I went and got some new running shoes! to help with the shin splints! and yes they helped... ( and I also got another pair of new shoes on that shopping spree! Can't complain!!!) some snazzy running socks, an armband for my ipod and for Valentines day Ronnie had gotten me some new earphone for my ipod... so I have it all???? To make this 13 mile journey easy RIGHT???? Oh, and a running book too! ( Yes, all my tools in the above picture!!!) But, I have been a little lazy this week... There is just not enough time in the day to get everything done and run... so I have been bad this week... So, It's Sunday and I should go RUN! RIGHT! Well, I did get a really nice pedicure today... I don't want to mess it up!!!
Wish Me Luck!!!!

I'm jealous of the pedicure.
About the marathon...I am BEAMING WITH PRIDE that you have set this huge goal for yourself. I KNOW you can do it. It feels hard in the beginning, but you can do it! WE WILL DO IT!!!
Good for you!! That is so awesome. You will totally be proud of yourself. I have to say though, you really won't start enjoying it until you hit 4 miles. Sorry! That seemed to be when my lungs felt trained and I just had to work on my body holding out. When you can run and talk, it's a lot more enjoyable. But, from what Jessi says, you are close to 4 miles. Your awesome!!! Good luck! I'm hoping you enjoy it enough to do the Las Vegas one in December with me!??
