This is Fun!

I know, fun is not what most of you are thinking right now! But, I'm going to enjoy seeing everyone's posts! I'm the first "kid" to post (though I will be 30 this year, guys ...), but I still need the motivation .. only 4 weeks until my first half marathon. During Christmas card season, I wasn't able to train for almost 3 weeks, and now Haley cheers on Saturdays, so I have to arrange my long runs around her schedule, but I'm still here!

Aunt Terri you are so lucky to have a friend run with you, though I still do enjoy my quiet time. And mom will be out there with me soon, I know it :) I have her calling me if I miss a day to check on me, so I guess she keeps me in check that way.

As for shin splints, mine went away after a couple weeks. Be sure you are not running on your toes, especially up and down hills, that is when I would get mine.

I read somewhere that running is half physical and half mental - for me, it's the mental part that can be most challenging. I'm excited for us all!

No fair! I wanted to be 30 this year. I never really have wanted to go back to 20, but the 30s and 40s I'd take in a heartbeat! I guess I'll have to do my best to enjoy the 50s...
