My very good friend Sarah and I ran the Whiterock1/2 marathon in Dallas December 5th. It all started back in June when she asked me to start running with her. I laughed and said "I am not a runner I am a speed walker". She said "just try it, you will get addicted". Well, I did and she was right I LOVE running! Who would have thought. We began training in July and started running 15 minutes a day and then added to that each week. She is a wonderful trainer! We started out running 3 times a week and the closer it got to the big event we ran 6 times a week with early Sunday morning being our long runs. It really worked out well and was hard at times but we pushed through it and did a fantastic job at the 1/2 marathon. We enjoyed it so much we are trying to figure out when to do a full marathon! Call us crazy but it was an amazing experience I would highly recommend it to anyone, runner or not! We made some great memories during training and plan on making many more during our full marathon training.
