Um..............Half Marathon?
I have been trying to get Michael to run a half marathon. He used to run track in highschool and he is currently running in the mornings. I think it would helpful for him to have a goal in sight to work towards so that he doesn't burn out:) (I know him well) The more I thought about it the more I am wondering if I should do the same? I am NO runner that is for sure. I have only ran a 5k once and I was grateful when I hit the finish line. I have been jogging lately and have found it........SOMEWHAT let me repeat myself SOMEWHAT enjoyable, but 13 miles I dont know if I can handle that. Just the thought makes my tummy swirl! I have found a co-trainer (Yes-Jami I am talking about you!) I just wanted every ones opinion on the whole idea and tell me about your marathon experiences (or an experience when you did something way out of your league) I want both positive and negative experiences here folks! The two half marathons that I know of are in August in Provo and Logan. I think I just may regret this whole idea! Who knows......

I long time ago my boss and I came up with the idea of having the entire company run in a local 5k as an advertising opportunity and health challenge. We had a year to get ready. Since we didn't ever do any getting ready we wisely didn't make the team shirts advertising who we were, I barely made the 5k, I was the last male in my age group. It was rather humiliating. I still want to be able to say "I ran a ....." I don't claim the 5k because it was such a bad showing... I loved that I tried, I love opportunities to shatter a circle of comfort. Of course everyone is going to say go for it... just make sure you go for it now, getting ready for it is much more important than the just showing up part.
have no desire to run a half marathon. I would maybe do a 5 K, maybe. I support you wholeheartedly in whatever you decide to do, though! you are a champ just for thinking about it!
P.S. I ate half a bag of cinnamon bears today. I should be the one who should be setting some goals, here...
Ok, we are totally doing it. I am sure it is going to kill us but we can do it. I am ready to start training!!!!!!!!!

Tiff, you are my hero for wanting to do this! Good luck!! And it was so fun to see you the other night.
I know you can do it, what an awesome accomplishment it will be! And who could ask for anyone more fun to train with than Jami! Mom
Tiffany! I have run 4 half marathons and 2 marathons and it never gets easy... but it is totally worth it! I am running a half marathon on May 3rd in Hurricane. I know that there is a beautiful one in Bryce canyon in July. You should do it! You totally can!
I am running a half next month in Hurricane - I am sure that's not enough time to get ready, but it has been a lot of fun training and pushing myself to lenghts that I didn't know exisited for me!
You should do it!
so, here is my comment. I am still not sure about it, it would be AWESOME to do. But I am not sure that I have the confidence, no...the desire, no...the....i just don't know if I have any of it! when I decide I will let you know. How is the training going so far? It was SO great to see you on Sat. I wish that it was easier to get together more often! Luv ya!
