OK, so you can totally call me crazy because 2 weeks ago, I would have NEVER thought of doing this! I started thinking this time last week that maybe it would be fun but I was still doubting it. So, by the end of this last week, I was totally convinced to do it.
I am going to run a 1/2 MARATHON in April 2009!!
I was starting to get a little pumped because my sister flew into town this last weekend to run the Logan, Utah Marathon. She ran 26.2 miles and I seriously don't know how she did it!! (She had a friend doing the marathon with her so I know that really helped!) And, this was her 2nd time doing it! She's crazy huh?! Well, I started getting excited to do it because I saw how in shape she is and I hate her for it! She's so skinny and she can fit into those really good looking jeans. I had to smack her butt a few times because it looked so good!
ANYWAY, getting back on subject and NOT talking about my sister's butt! I have a little running schedule that will build up my endurance but then I need to find another training schedule that will help me with the 1/2 marathon. What I was thinking to do was run a 5K in January and then my 1/2 Marathon is going to be at the beginning of April. Both my sisters have run marathons and they told me that they would try to come up here with me and run them with me! I'm so excited! The only thing I am lacking is a partner! I need someone to train with! I need someone who will meet me at 6 a.m. and run! I'm praying for one and I hope someone comes along who is determined as me. Pray for me or come run with me!! Either one!!
So, do you think I'm crazy? The funny thing is, I'm more excited to train and accomplish such a big task than getting excited about getting in shape! Is that strange?!

I'm so excited for you! I started to train myself last year for just a 5k, but then Brecken got sick...so I stopped training for it. I'm up for running with you some mornings at 6...depending on how long you plan on running. I just have to get home and get ready for work and all that. So I'll have to stop by and talk to you!
Hey Bethany,
Good luck on your training regimen. :) I used to do a bit a running (I know hard to believe eh?) I took a look at this schedule and it looks pretty good. its a nine week program so that should give you plenty of time to get your endurance up before you start. hope it helps!
