So this morning I committed to run a half-marathon relay with my sister Melissa on March 13, 2010. One person (me) runs 6 miles and the other person (Melissa) runs 7.1 miles. I'm letting Melissa run the longer part because she's running an entire half-marathon the following weekend with my sister Jennifer and I figured it would be good practice for her - super nice of me, don't you think?! :) That's just the kind of sister I am...
Anyway, I'm in the very beginning stages of running so this is super scary, exciting, weird, and crazy for me but I really want to do it! I'm planning to run a half-marathon in the Provo canyon in August so this is a really good place for me to start. Why start running, you ask? Why not? That's pretty much my answer. I don't have a really good explanation except that there is a strength that comes over me when I run (albeit a short ways right now) and it's very empowering - maybe I'm just an adreneline junkie but I'm looking forward to pushing myself to see if I can do this! I'll keep you posted!

How fun to run with your sis! You girls are awesome. My sister runs marathons, and keeps trying to get me to do one with her. . . hmmmmm. Lots of training hours, early morning, laziness. You are definitely inspiring. Have fun in your running adventures.
