If all my friends dared me to jump off a cliff

...I probably would.

A year ago I was thinking of training to run another 5k. Since then, I've ran a 15k and a half marathon, and signed up for a 10-mile race in April. Why would I even consider doing such crazypants things, you ask?



That said, there must be no bounds to my insanity. I've taken it another step further and this morning I registered to run the RunRaleigh half marathon in April...the weekend before the 10-miler.












You know what I'm most concerned about right now, besides keeping up with my training?

Race outfits.

Suggestions?? :)


And, because Pippi has been complaining about her lack of air time on the blog, I present to you, her favorite way to lay in bed (especially after I put clothes from the dryer on the bed).

By doze is zo cold!

  1. Pippi is smart. Warm clothes out of the dryer are the best!

  2. The funny part is, before this weekend, you didn't even know the person who peer pressured you into the half. It's much easier to keep training up than to have to start over from scratch later on.

    2. Mike only started running last year when I peer pressured him to do a half. And then I peer pressured him to do a full.

    3. Alyssa is the cause of all my running. Its all true. Now I'm peer pressuring you to do the half so that I have a reason to keep training. We need a May run though.

    4. So now it's going to be like a race a month? I better get my credit card warmed up.

    5. I feel like its a better use of money than a gym membership right? Do gyms give you medals at the end of the month?

    3. Eleven months between my first half and my first marathon. Just saying...

  4. This is the good kind of peer pressure though - right? :)

  5. Pippi is a smart pup. I like to cuddle in warm clothes but I am not allowed.
