That's right folks, my big, exciting news, is that I'm running a half marathon on April 19th!
I started prelim training tonight and after not running for 6 plus months, I was able to bust out 2.6 miles. I am thrilled. They were about 12 1/2 minute miles which is pretttty slow but I am alright with that for now. Of course, I'll be posting updates on my progress and training schedule. I am so excited and to make things even better, my best friends, Brad & Erica, are running with me! Well Brad will be way ahead of us but it will be amazing to cross the finish line with someone I've known for 18 years! Poor Tom is too busy with wrestling coaching to train for it but we will run the St. Charles marathon in October together. I am so excited and motivated right now. I love having a schedule to abide by.
Cheers!

Wow, congrats! Can't wait to hear about your progress on here!
Yay for you Lynsey! Is this your first race? I loved having a schedule, too. You are going to be so proud of yourself afterwards.
I am 85% sure I'll be running that one, too....I just can't decide if I want to commit to the full or half. Either way maybe I'll see you there!
How cool! I wish I could do something like that! Good luck :)
I am really proud of you for doing this. I will be there and help you out the entire way. Love ya!
Woo hoo! Good for you!!
And glad you and Tommy liked the chicken. ;)
