im a sucker for a pretty girl
so, many of you might know that i hate running. i really do. its not a strong dislike either. i really can't stand it. but, yesterday i was suckered into training for a half marathon, thats 13.1 miles of running folks. its a 12 week training schedule and i start training on monday. and it was all because of a girl. my girl. she batted her eyes and talked to me sweet and i was putty in her hands. it was discusting. the next thing i knew i was printing out my training schedule.
im kidding...i really am going to run a half marathon and i really do hate running but my real motivation is to get healthy and to have some dicipline in my life. i have gotten pretty lazy since school ended and i need to do something. i kinda have that tire thingy around the middle of me, if you know what i mean...not cool. plus, i think this will be fun to go through with my girl.
so...stick around. i feel like this whole training thing could spark a few good blogs along the way.

Here is the link that I was given. Are you interested? I have a few people in my life group that are probably going to do it with me.

first, the "m" stands for miles.
second, I talked HIM into doing it...as mentioned previously..."he's putty in my hands" - haha.
third, I didn't laugh in your face...I just have to have the personal motivation before I do things like this.
fourth, yea - I don't have a fourth. except that I am a running machine these days...
watch ya'self!
