This morning I received a text message from my sister inviting me to run a marathon with her a year and three days from today. Busy doing other things, I skimmed the message, and replied yes.... surely she meant a mini marathon. I promised her last year I would start training for a mini and run Indy in May with her. I figured having until October to train would be even better!! Later, I thought a little more about the message, then I reread the message... then I text my sister to clarify. Her response "you already said you would there's no turning back now" "marathon".
Was she crazy!?! Was I crazy!?! Clearly the answer is yes, craziness must run in our family. I am going to do this. That's the problem with sisters, they know you better than you know yourself.... and my sister knows if I commit to something I'll see it through, even if there is a possibility (and I mean a really good possibility) it will kill me. I decided about five seconds after I promised myself I'd see it through, that I would blog about it. I figure it should be good for more than a few laughs, and if it works out maybe it will inspire a few people :)
You see, I'm not one of those people who has run her entire life, I tried a 5k last spring and had to walk part (okay fine, most) of it. I truly hate running, however I am told that once you really start running you'll start to love it. Oh, how I hope that is true, because my tennis shoes and I will be spending a lot of time together this year.
