Let's Do This

O.k Chicas! Let's train for a Half Marathon!!! O.k. so here's the deal. Dana and I searched and searched and found a really awesome, inexpensive road trip to a half marathon in Niagra Falls!
The details:
Location: Niagra Falls, Ontario, Canada
Cost: $40 for the half marathon
? gas money divided by all of us
$170 a night for 3 nights divided by all of us (2 queen beds and a sofa pullout bed sofa thingy)
Plus play money.... bars, casino, restaurants, the falls, etc.
Dates: Friday morning (early) June 18th- Monday June 21st


First we all need to sign up for the Marathon and pay for it. Go to https://www.onlineregistrations.ca/niagara/ and let's get locked in!


We'll book the hotels and as time gets closer we can sit down and plan out the fine details of our trip.

Then log in and become a part of this blog.....

Now we train! I've set up this blog if anyone would like to vent, track your progress, ask questions of each other, so on and so forth. Yes... I'm a dork... .but this will be fun!

Also, those who can lets start training together..... not daily but once a month. On the first Sunday of each month let's meet and run together. We can start out with 3 miles and move up to 10 miles or more. (It's kinda like checkpoints for us)

First run will be February 7th (3 miles)
then..... March 7th (5 miles)
April 4th (7 miles)
May 9th (9 miles)
June 6th (11 miles)
