Music City 1/2 Marathon


I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I’m planning to run the Music City ½ Marathon this April.  When I did it several years ago, I made Ryan promise me that he would never let me do it again and here I am, planning to run it again.  I’m running with one of the other coaches wives and her sister.  Mandy & Michelle run at a slow pace so I’m able to actually enjoy the run (well so far anyway J).   They asked me to join them and I always enjoy spending time with Mandy so thought, why not!  It’s good company and will hopefully help me shed these last few pounds! 

The first Saturday that I met up with the girls to run it was 30 degrees outside.  Crazy!  I don't ever run outside, and if I do run outside, I don't run when it's cold and rainy.  I layered up and went to leave the house and Ryan started laughing.  I was wearing a cute cream wool hat that is more of an accessory than anything, but I didn't have anything else to cover my ears, so I went for it.  I thought it was cute - Ryan was embarrassed for me.  Oh well!   I made the 3 mile run and it was actually enjoyable.

So far I've only done up to 5 miles, so there is still a long way to go to get to 13.1.  Wish me luck!
