I can not take credit for the picture above, google search was my helper. This is where we were this weekend. Lovely Sacramento, California. We had a great time enjoying a new city, and loved the St.Paul feel that it had. I'll share more another time!
Currently on my mind is running. So for those of you who don't know I had registered for the lottery for Grandma's Half Marathon this summer in Duluth with two of my best friends from home. We sadly were notified this weekend that we did not get in, and now have a new question to face.
Do we run the full Grandmas marathon?
For many of you I'm sure the answer is to this question is a quick abrupt "no" but for the three of us it has not come so easy. Carmen has committed and is registered. Laura is soaking in Australia and to my knowledge hasn't made a definitive decision yet. I have begun training, but still have not registered.
Currently I'm prayerfully pondering the endeavour... mostly to make sure that I prepare well if I choose to set this goal. My body, to my knowledge, is in healthy shape to handle the stress and work it will take to prepare. I haven't had any running injuries for 2 years, and feel good in that regard. If I had to decide tonight right now... I would sign up immediately. I just want to make sure I think through things fully. I have until March 31st before the entry fee jumps again, and until then will be training according to the program and see how it goes!
So no longer my #1 will be to "run a 1/2 marathon"....it may change soon to, "run a full marathon"!
((lastly, if any of you out there are crazy enough to join in the fun let me know. the more the merrier))
