My personal challenge!!
In my failing efforts to drop a few pounds...I have finally decided that what I really need is a personal challenge, something I can work towards. And I'm not talking about a day at the spa or new clothes (those you can have or do anytime) I mean something to really work towards. So I am putting it out there...I have decided to train for a half marathon! I will be running in the Bear Lake Half Marathon in June. I have conned Emily Merkley to run it with me...I didn't want to have to suffer through it alone! Anyway the more I think about it the more excited I am. I am so excited to have a goal that I can see all the way to the finish. It's kind of like giving birth you spend all this time waiting to get it over with and then when you do, you think, "I did it! I pushed the baby out!" that moment after with all of the adrenaline flowing is what I am seeking (and losing weight along the way will be great too!). Anyway I am putting it out there, so now I am absolutely committed to following through, cuz people know about it now. So Em, can't wait to run 13.1 miles with you in June!!

Way to go! Tony has been begging me to run a half marathon with him. He even bribed me with a cruise, but you don't seen me out training. So to you I say, go for it!
Holy Crap....I am really impressed, and intimidated. I don't think that I would have been so easily conned into such a thing...well maybe for you I would have.
I like your new goal, and I am excited to hear all about your training, are you just going to throw in an 8 mile run in your free time? I didn't think that a busy girl like you had much free time, but I do know that if you want to do it you will.
Nice work Kelly. I am looking forward to this little task of yours. I was hoping that you were going to say that you were going to take a little trip cross country as a reward, but a half marathon will be just as exciting.
13.1 miles...You told me only 13! That's it - I'm out. J/K I'm excited to be doing it with you!
Holy Crap! You know that you "run" right?! That is just crazy! I'd just like to point out that you didn't get Steve to do it. What a loser, you should leave him! :)
Kelly! It's cara! I'm glad i found ya on here! Your family is so fun and cute! And we are bunco buddies now! Good times! And Way to go on the half marathon! What a great goal to have! I love running so I'm way excited for you! You will love it! Train hard and stay positive the whole time!!
I will make sure Aaron gives you guys a call tomorrow. We'll make sure he gets over to fix your treadmill.
Way to go! I am glad it is not going to be me. They would have weel me away on a stretcher
