My FIRST POST!

I am excited to say that this is my first time writing a blog. I was skeptical at first, but I think that this will be a really good way to keep myself motivated during my half marathon training. Another good motivation, is that one of my best friends is blogging with me! We are both going to share our journey during this 12 week extravaganza of running! Today is Christmas eve, which marks the eve to The official first day of training which happens to fall on Christmas. During the next 12 weeks, Monika and I will embark on a long strenuous workout routine which will eventually prepare us to run 13.1 miles on March 17, 2012 (Monika's birthday and St. Patricks Day).  An early Christmas gift to my running endeavour is a new pair of shoes! I love brooks shoes and I am excited that I have a fresh pair to run in to begin my training. These are the Ravenna II by brooks and they are super comfortable! Who would have ever thought a small running store in Hickory, NC would have size 12 women's running shoes? NOT ME!

This is just an little introduction to what there is to come! I am currently in Florida spending Christmas with Zach's family so time is limited! I am excited to have some more blogs coming your way soon!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
