So I'm training for my 1st marathon. I got talked into it. I'm really nervous, but so far so good! Saturday I picked up ThatPinkGirl and headed to White Rock Lake to meet my sis-in-law and her friend for EIGHTEEN miles! Props to my sis-in-law... she just started running in January and is training for the marathon! Pretty amazing if you ask me.
It was really a great run. The weather was perfect (and I'm not one to use that word often). It was in the 50's and not windy at all. We started out on our first lap and passed all the people training with Lukes Locker. Felt a little proud that we were out there training on our own. On our 2nd lap (yes, we ran around the lake TWICE) the sun was up, but it was still nice and cool. I started to feel a little sore around mile 14 and mile 17 pretty much sucked. But we finished! High fives and Jill did a cartwheel. :)

Scary thing is that the marathon is EIGHT more miles! EEEEK!
