Three months ago I couldn't run a mile... Today we ran 10! I never thought I could do it. I'm not athletic. In P.E. in high school I was chosen last on teams... The really sad part is that my 5 closest friends were in that class and on multiple times were even the captains... and I still was last.
But Mary was training for a half marathon and I can't be out done. Besides if Mary can do it I can't blame it on my genes. So we have been training. Scott has been SO supportive! He pushes the stroller and is the one to set the alarm. And when I whine... he gets me to keep going.
When I tell people I'm doing this, they always say that they never could, well I couldn't either. Until I decided to try.

It still hurts, my blisters have blisters. My feet are so nasty looking. And I still haven't lost any weight, BUT I can run 10 miles! And I feel GREAT! Last week I skipped a couple runs and I felt so lousy!
Moral of the story... If I can do it... YOU CAN!

You make me feel guilty, but I am glad you are doing so well. Way to go. Next year the spudman. Right?
that is awesome Wendy! We are so impressed and proud of you guys! Way to go! I am going to have to give running the old college try in a couple of weeks here :)
10 miles! We should all run a half!! If you can do 10 you TOTALLY can do 13! We can do one in Idaho, or we can run the one in Moab. So pretty!! I'm serious though, we should a half!
