new addiction

I LOVE blogs and have quite a few I check daily but this weekend I stumbled upon running blogs!! What could get any better than that??? Of course since I just found them I have to go back for months and read up on everything! These girls are cracking me up! I wonder why I never get anything done.....
I will post some of my favorites on my blog roll so check them out! Adding a couple tonight check back for more blogs I stumble across. A Brand New Life as a Runner is one funny chick! If you go to hers make sure you read her older posts...Beat the Celebrity cracks me up!

St. Jude Half Marathon - not in any order

Christy & I starting out. I know this because we are still smiling! :)

Me with my wonderful husband before the race! I could not have done this without him. He helped me so much by cheering me on race day and during my training and watching the girls every Saturday or Sunday morning so I could get my long runs in! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I LOVE YOU!!
On a side note I think we have all inspired him to start running!! I am thrilled and hopefully he will be with us next year at St. Jude!

Next up- County Music Marathon -Nashville, TN!!

St. Jude Half Marathon

The "Green Team" crew! The spectators would cheer for us and say either GO GREEN TEAM or I love St. Jude too!! It was great to see everyone come out and support the runners.

Cheers!! We deserved it!

Tomorrow we are running in the St. Jude Half Marathon! It is hard to believe that I just started running this year and my goal was to end the year with this race. The race is finally here and I couldn't be more excited! Now, I have many more marathons planned for 09! Please everyone say a prayer for us (Maura, Rachel, Christy & myself) and all the runners in this event. It is going to be COLD at the start!! Check back for pictures!
