September 5th, 2010

I have something really BIG to share. Many of you know I have been walking and running for the past 5 months. It was a personal goal I set for myself back in December, to get my butt moving and to see where it took me.

I did some soul searching and decided I needed a running event to keep me on track and motivated. I was talking back and forth with some girlfriends about it when I received an email from my GF Shannon. This is what it said...."OK, if you are interested, what about this being a girls trip to Disneyland with a 1/2 Marathon thrown in the middle".

I received on February 20th at 5:51 PM and the rest as they say is history. In the process of training, I have lost 65 pounds and suffered an injury....Thank God it wasn't fractured :) SEE PHOTO.

So, I counted and I have 96 days until the big event. I ran 4 miles today and am really pushing to get back to my pre-injury running schedule. So, let me hear from you. I want and need your encouragement. CAN NOT WAIT to cross that finish line with my girlfriends. Hugs

  2. Go Timi!! You can do it!! It will be amazing and not many people can say they've done a half marathon! I'm training for a 5K in October, then a 1/2 marathon in March, and a full marathon the next March (or sooner). You'll have to be my inspiration.
