In Training

Training starts today

89 days to go

10,000 meters

6.2 miles

Party at the finish line

I have decided to participate in the Crescent City Classic this year. I've never done it before, but can remember waiting for my brothers at the finish line when I was a kid. The heel of my sneakers recently fell off so now is the perfect opportunity to get myself a good pair of shoes.

Running has never been enjoyable to me. So, my aunt and I are going to speed walk it. Considering the fact that the only exercise I get right now is chasing after kids, I need to get out walking everyday to prepare. I am really getting excited about it and really hope that the weather is beautiful that day!

Good Luck! I think that is awesome! There is something so revitalizing about doing something just for yourself. It feels so good and makes you a better mom/wife (just as a bonus).

Hey Erin, I want to send you your suckers and for some reason I can't find your address. So, could you please email it to me and I will get them sent to you. If not you will force me to drive over there and hand deliver them!! :)
