Alright here it is! Every year in May, Idaho does the "Great Potato Marathon" including 1/2 marathon, 10k, 5k, and kids runs. I already started running daily with a group from my ward and one of the ladies is a marathon runner and she's helping me train the right way. I'm registering as soon as the 2011 year is available so WHO'S WITH ME? I've talked about it for years and this is it, no more "later when I'm not so over weight". I can already tell a diffrence in my strenghting and running level so I know I can do this in a year.

I would totally do it with you if we were living in Idaho. But doing a marathon has been a goal of mine for a long time, and eventually I would love to do a triathalon when I can really train. I have already been looking up marathons in Salt Lake that I can plan for. Probably start out with a 10k, then 1/2 marathon, and then hopefully a Full Marathon!
That is awesome. To tell you the truth, I had no idea there was a "Great Potato Marathon"! I too have had a long-term goal of wanting to run a marathon before I die. I know you can do it Danielle. Did you know that on the last season of "The Biggest Loser", the final four contestants all ran a marathon? I think they had contestants in a previous season do one too. They had less than a year to prepare and I know that last season, the contestants didn't know until after they were sent home and then they only had a months notice.
But I really like that you titled this, "Don't just talk about, JUST DO IT!" That's EXACTLY what I need to do if I want to run a marathon. And the sooner I start preparing for one, I'm sure the easier. So Danielle, I think I would like to try to run the "Great Potato Marathon" with you. Maybe I can come up for the great race and we can do it together! It'd be a lot easier to do with you than alone!
ALRIGHT KRISTIN WE'RE ON!! when you come up for the baptism I'll show you some things that I have for the training and what not. YIPEE
this is a good point kristin, we would be able to give the husbands plenty of notice to get time off to watch the babes! and we could car pool together. I'm IN as well :)
i found a great website for marathon training a long time ago, i'll see if i can find it since it's on our now dead computer :-(
When is this marathon?
I'm doing a 5K this May then a 10K in the summer leading up to the 1/2 marathon in May 2011. Are you with us Mom? Kristin and Meagan are doing it, think of it as the ultimate "girls day"
My goal is to do the 5K with Danielle in May if we are living here, then do at least One 10k if not a couple once we're in SLC, and then the 1/2 in May 2011! My training begins tomorrow and I am on the lookout for a heart monitor!
If it is the first or second weekend of May, I'm in. We proved last summer we could endure a 5K for breast cancer. But, Kevin's graduation is May 30th. So, if its close to then, you'll have to count me out this time.
Mom
It's saturday May 15th and I'll send you the program that I'm doing to train for it called "from couch potato to 5K in 9wks"
