a note from the other half!

well, here we are! with inspiration from our FAVORITE commercial ever --- the cute ol gym shorted chum who was afraid he wouldn't make the track team, so he tried hardee's --- we have started our blog!!!

after being out of shape since college, i've decided i needed to whip myself back into shape, and three days into my revelation, my lovely sister calls asking me to run a half marathon "with" her.. so here we go!!!

so technically we start our training on sunday aug. 1st. i have been working out for about two weeks now, but i am still going to be cardio-shocked.. however, if my sis is doing it, i won't let her do it alone!!! now if only we could train together because lord KNOWS that the kentucky summer (umm 100 degrees but humidity makes it feel like 115!) is not going to let me run outside. i have a gym membership and thank GOD there's cable television.. i still haven't gotten down the whole "run for FUN" thing.. so there's always an episode of House Hunters or 48 Hours Mystery to distract me..

on our blog we will record all our triumphs (breezing thru a successful day of training) and tragedies (having to say no to a hot fudge sundae then almost falling off the treadmill on a saturday afternoon). i hope you all (mom and dad? laura? kyla? kristen?) enjoy reading and i hope we can make you proud by running/walking/crawling/being transported by stretcher across the finish line!!!!!!!!

love you all! herrrrre we go sissy!

  2. I am here, sitting at my desk, to cheer you on!!!! While I have no intent to run, I am doing weights and pilates/yoga this summer to get more 'toned' and finally fix my posture. So that is part of my new adventure, I may even blog about it!
