Sooooo…my friend H pointed out something…
Apparently, when I said marathon in my resolutions, I was committing to one of those YOU HAVE GOT TO BE CRAZY 41km type things….
Ummmm…I retract my resolution…or rather modify it a titch…
A 5km run was more along what I was thinking…or 10km…
There..now I feel better…happy now H?!

Interesting post Cathryn! Congrats on having this resolution. I personally don’t prefer to “run” – however I witness a marathon going on in Las Vegas last month. There was SO much diversity in the participants – including lots of walkers that did the half marathon. I am “entertaining” the idea of getting into shape to challenge this first before even attempting to run! Good luck – I admire that you just realigned the goal not eliminated Cathryn.
