Well, it’s official….Chris and I are running our first half-marathon on November 14th. Oh wow, my stomach just got a little queasy typing that!
Until last week, neither of us had run more than 2 miles since high school. So what is our reasoning for doing this? We’re crazy. That’s the only thing I can come up with! Okay so actually, I have been flirting with the idea for awhile now and when we heard about this half going on in San Antonio, right around our 1 year anniversary…it just seemed right. Assuming we can still walk after the race, we plan to explore the city and make a little 1 year anniversary vacay out of it! Sadly, I keep having visions of Chris pushing me down the River Walk in a wheel chair. I sure hope that’s not the case!
Chris may have already found this, but http://www.usatf.org/routes/ is my favorite place to find and create running routes. Good luck!
I think this is a good sign since I literally 5 minutes ago I just signed up for the San Diego 1/2 marathon on Nov 14th! Good to know you and Chris will be in as much pain as me on that day!
Vanessa and Ashley – I think you both are crazy. BUT – I know you can do it! Good luck!
This will be great for you both. Adam and I have been running together this past week- although, we are so tired there is little to no talking between us. 🙂 Good luck!!! San Antonio will be a great mini-vacay destination
I've been wanting to run a 1/2 marathon too… But then i ran the 5k and was sooo tired by the end i've decided a 1/2 marathon should be a goal for the very distant future! I can't wait to read all about youre adventure- Good luck!!!! & Please Keep us updated:)
