in an effort to blog more -- i have decided to temporarily turn this blog into a diary of running. i'm hoping this temporary change will last 4 months and have a happy ending -- i have decided to train for my first full marathon. "whoah, hold the phone! ernie can run?!?" yes, ernie can run...or at least she pretends to. i have completed 3 half-marathons in the last year and have sworn off a full after every one of them; however, i have recently gotten the bug back and it just won't go away. so here's my goal -- 10/21 in louisville, ky and a blog entry at least 5x per week detailing my training or lack therof. official training begins 7/2 (yes, next monday). it's going to be hot...it's going to be sweaty...it's going to be painful...and i'm sure i'll feel like quitting along the way -- but i want to do it right and i want to succeed and i guess that's a good start.

I'm so excited for you! Congrats on all your halves! That's a lot. I would love to do a full marathon. But right now, I have this Ironman thing to think about. However, I was thinking of doing my first marathon (without swimming and biking first, ha ha) in Chicago....? Fall 2008? What do you think? Are you in? It's supposed to be flat, fast, and loaded with support. Only thing is, we'd have to sign up early. But it'd be SO much fun to do it with buddies. Think on it.
i guess i'll see how this one goes and let you know...i would so be in and would love to do it with you!
Between your marathons and Bridget's triathalons....yikes! :/
