Marathon Mama's


....i'm not sure really where the idea came from, besides having a goal of someday running a marathon. well, evidently this is to be the year and i am so excited. There's a little group of us running now who all have kids so appropriately we call ourselves the "Marathon Mama's". Now we just need shirts :) I guess i should clarify that we aren't running a full marathon- just a half, but at 13.1 miles that sounds marathon enough for me. We have a 10 week training program that we've tentatively scheduled out which we start Sunday- July 5th and that will take us all the way up to the race on September 13th at the Glen Oak Park in Peoria. So up until then we are trying to get in some base mileage of at least 5 miles per week. We're all newbies so if you have any tips please let us know. - Let's Go Run!!!!

(Note: i didn't take this picture- it's from Running Central, but i do want to get some shoes from there. :)
