We're doing what?

So, I'm not sure who convinced who here, but somehow mom and I have agreed (though nothing has been signed yet)to train for, and run (God willing) a half marathon next summer.

The idea launched this summer when mother uttered a series of words I'd never imagined she would: "You know, if you wanted to train for and run a marathon, I'd do it with you." Huh? Up until that point, I would not be exaggerating when I say that mom was adamantly anti-marathon: "Who in their right mind would want to do that?! I have no desire..." And I felt the same way. Running quick, fast 5ks or 10ks (and setting records in them if you're Nance) sounds like much more fun than grueling long runs and eventually running for 4 hours.

But, what's done is done. The harebrained idea has been hatched, and we're in it together. Towards 13.1!!

The race is July 19th in Northern California, and it's called the Napa-to-Sonoma Wine Country Half Marathon. Wine and running. What could be better? : )
