Last year sometime early February Mom brought up this great idea that some of Larry's family was coming into town to run the Country Music 1/2 Marathon and maybe we should do it too. In the previous years I had absolutely loved watching the race from my front porch. Seeing all of those people running all at once was just amazing! I never actually dreamed I attempt the race or even finish the race. However, immediately Mom and I started our training process and just in time for the race we were ready. It was extremely hot, but it was so much fun and such a wonderful event. I was thrilled to complete the race with my Mom. Our time 3:06
Then in the fall the organization I Run For the Party decided to do their first 1/2 Marathon in Nashville and some how we jumped at the opportunity again and completed our 2nd race. Mom even placed 2nd in her age group! Our time 2:56
Now it is once again Spring time in Nashville and the 1/2 Marathon is just around the corner. I can't believe we only have 30 days left. The weather has been so on and off and our schedules have been so crazy that I don't feel like we have gotten enough training time it at all.
Last year it was just about finishing, but now with 2 under our belt it is about doing better than before. In order to accomplish that you MUST train well! I don't know how we are going to survive and definitely don't know how we are going to beat our time!!!!
Please send prayers and well wishes our way and stay tuned to see how we do! :-)
