Wow HZ posted already (WOOT!) apparently I’m going to have to step up my game!

About me:

HZ called me on the phone yesterday and told me the reading-at-the-park story and my immediate reaction was “okay I’m in.” So the good news is I have a workout buddy. The bad news is she’s 2 time zones away. That’s a serious bummer because she would be a total hoot as a neighbor.

A couple years ago I decided I was going to run the Los Angeles marathon. I wasn’t this…robust back then but having to do it alone and the sheer magnitude of a 26.2 mile commitment freaked me out and I quit.

Then about 7 months ago a friend of mine started running with her husband. They wanted to do the Pasadena Marathon so they started small and kept going. When she started she fought to run for 2 minutes straight, now she’s doing 12 mile runs on the weekends. I want her energy! So I’m going to work for it.

No this is not me but I felt I needed a picture.

    You can do this and I will support you however you need except join you in your insanity!

    Go, CK! GO, HZ!

    Two crazy fat chicks running down the road of life. Cheered on by another crazy fat chick.

    And for some reason I now have a picture in my head of three chickens. Two running a foot race and the third on the sidelines drinking a Pina Colado and sitting on a sun lounger.

    Go, Run, Finish!

    Thanks Mia! LOL!

    I think it’s funny that the chick doing the breast cancer three day thinks we’re crazy for wanting to do a half marathon (seeing as how the half marathon is shorter and all).

    That’s okay though, we’ll take the support anyway!

  5. Good for you both. I’ve also recently started running. My legs are killing me at the moment. No one warned me about sore muscles!

    I look forward to hearing your progress. 🙂

    Shelley that’s fantastic! You definitely need to drop by and tell you’re doing since you have a head start. How long have you been working out and what is your regimen?

    Any tips are well appreciated!
