My friend Julie and I decided to start running during our lunch
break at work to lose weight after having our kids. We started very slowly
only running 1.5 miles. We got back in time to take showers and back to
work. After a few weeks of running we worked our way up to 3.5 miles a day.
A few months into our running we thought wouldn't it be great to run a
marathon before we are 30! Me being 28 and she being 29, we thought let's
go for it! So, we checked out the "ontherunevents.com" website and decided to
register for the Seattle Marthon in November. We would have 9 months to
train. We met on the weekends to get our long runs in. The first time we
ran 9 miles, we were so proud of ourselves. We couldn't believe we had just
ran 9 miles! We participated in a lot of local 5K's and 10K's and ran 2
half marathons. The big day was getting closer and closer and the
butterflies were here to stay. I built a website at our work so everyone
can see our progress. They were all very interested to see what we were up to !
