and any one else that wants to participate.
I have really enjoyed picking up running. I ran my first race last April, and I'm doing another one in November. We were gathered at my mom's house during the Olympics and we watched the Marathon event. During that race I mentioned the family training for a race. I found a race for next May in Indianapolis (central for almost everyone). There is the half marathon, the 5K run, & 5K walk! So my challenge is to gather my family together and accomplish this goal. I promise it will be rewarding! When researching the race, I found out that it "sells" out pretty quickly. The were full by November 2007 for May's 2008 race. So, what am I saying, we have to commit to this pretty quickly. So what do you say? Hey, it's an excuse to buy some awesome new running shoes. Oh, and if you have the high arch issue like me, try Adidas. They work great for me.
Here's the website for the race: http://www.500festival.com/marathon/500Festival5K.asp

Melissa,
This is Lorraine Every, better known today as Fiona Mathews. I have occasionally visit your blog from Samantha's. I have caught the running bug. I got it after going to see my sister in law run the St. George marathon 2 years ago. I ran it last year after she challenged me, and I am running it again on October 4th. It's amazing the "high" that comes with it. It's also very good cardio! I would do it if I lived in Indiana still.
I'm in. Let's do it.
Count me IN!............I can WALK!
unless you need a baby sitter for those wonderful children????????
