"You're doing WHAT?"

Oh yes - that is the response I have been getting.
Me: "Guess what? I am running a 1/2 marathon next October."
Others: "You're doing what?"
"Why?"
"Are you crazy?"
Sometimes they even ask "Whose idea was that?" - but I won't throw any of my friends under the bus. I will take full responsibility for the lapse in judgement when deciding this would be a great bonding experience. I am sure it will be if I am alive at the finish line to see it!

The power of positive thinking...I think I can, I think I can.

Have no fear personal trainers...I have committed myself to doing this. The fact that I am even telling people that I am planning on this adventure is one hurdle crossed. I did my first week of workouts from Couch to 5K all 60 minutes total of them. It is somewhat pathetic when you look at how little that really amounted to and how much I complained about gearing up to do it. It was 60 minutes - I spend that much time in my morning beauty routine. Good lord - buck up camper!
