Day 1

So this year over Thanksgiving Mom and I decided that we would train for a 1/2 marathon together and keep track of how we were doing over this blog.  This will be Deb's first 1/2 marathon and my third.  We plan to run it in AC and are shooting for April fool's day....don't let the date fool you, we will be ready!

From my side of things, I have a lot of work to do.  Over the last year I've made a lot of strides in my career but exercise has definitely been put on the back burner.  Honestly I miss it.  I am crankier, can't sleep as well, and have been starting my days out poorly as I try to find something that fits!  Also, I just don't have the time to decompress like I used to.  

So when Mom mentioned this I was very excited to jump on board.  This will be her first 1/2 and with that comes a lot of excitement and nerves.  I don't want to let her down so I'll train hard so I can be there with her every step of the way.

Enjoy the blog.  You'll hear the good, the bad, and the ugly steps along the way.  Congrats to those who have done a 1/2 already and to those that are training for one I hope this offers some support.  After all misery does love company :)
