12 Days & Counting

Saturday, March 4th, I will be running or run/walking the Chattanooga Half Marathon with my superhero girlfriend, Marathong Mama. Her 1st Half, my 2nd. She is a big follower of John "The Penguin" Bingham, only she also forgets "Penquin" & calls him "The Turtle". We will be using his run/walk program. It should be good. Our goal is to beat my 2:39 time from last summer. So wish us luck, I have a feeling we may need it! :)

Ooh, you're right there with me - my half PR is 2:37. I'd like to beat it in the half I have in a couple weeks, but I haven't trained specifically for it. We'll see!

OK Missy!! "Luck" will have NOTHING to do with our absolute success in this venture!!! We are skilled athletes....we just don't look like skilled athletes. AHHHH!!! I have dusted off the mara-thong and am ready!! REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS TOLD ME...IT IS (NOT YOU ARE) ALL MENTAL!!

Maybe it's a little late in the game for me to confess this...but it's not ALL mental. You really do have to build up to a certain level of endurance. But don't worry we have 12 days...we can cram..you know..like for a test.

I hate to tell you this so late in the game, but I suck at tests.....

By cramming do you mean not showing up at the gym this morning? I am planning to be there for the half. if you two girls can do it I know I can nurse my knees to the finish line.

Bite me enviro-slacker! I didn't see you and your side-kick anywhere this morning.....I'm sure you will come up with some hair brained story about a toxic disaster on I75 ...an innocent kid in your youth group hurt you while playing barbies...maybe even a runaway camper...WHATEVER!
