Sorry Lisa isn't going to go with you. You were really looking forward to spending some time with her. Maybe another time you all will get to do a trip together.
Yay on the 1/2 marathon. Hopefully we will see each other and get to say hello.
Can't wait for the next pre-trip report. You do really good ones.
Too funny about the banner on top. I saw that today and thought...."free dining"....well that would help with costs and immediately started working numbers.
WooHoo on the 1/2 pound! you go girl! you can do it!
and last but certainly not least........
Happpy Birthday Mary!
Thanks for the Birthday wishes! I had a good day, even though the DIS was not up...
I hope that we certainly get to meet for the 1/2!! Even go to the parks or something...not sure how you do the park touring...but I definitely think we have to meet up...we are from the same state, afterall!!
Congratulations on the successfull running! That's so fantastic. I've been contemptating starting a bit of a running program myself, and your very inspirational. I'm in pretty horrid shape, and while I can walk pretty quickly for long distances I've never been able to run without finding myself doubled up and weezing. For some reason I'm finding I have running on the brain lately, and am toying with the idea of doing a 1/2 marathon at some point. Probably mostly walking, but I'd like to do some running too. (Just to be sure I don't get "swept").
I highly recommend a couch to 5K program. For those of us that really, really don't run...it is hard, even at the beginning...but it has gotten so much easier!!! And I do much better inside on a treadmill.
I honestly don't ever plan to get past the first few weeks of the program. I will probably always jog some and then walk some...even for the half. My present goal is to finish the half in under 3 hours and 30 minutes. Although, that may be adjusted as I get used to the jogging. But right now I think I would finish considerably over that time and may get swept...if I had to do it tomorrow.
It would be so cool for you to join us to do the half in January!! If you are already walking long distances, you could totally do it!
We could have a big DIS meet!!! And I will be by myself, so I am all about finding some folks to even do the parks with!
You should read Sandy341's report on her experiences with the half...
Sandy...if you are out there...can you post a link to that? Shoot, it maybe in her siggie...I will go look. That was inspiration to me!!
