These are two words in the title I thought I would never hear myself say. But the realization has come to kick me in the pants. Since Alicen worked the Salt Lake City Marathon on April 17th, she has decided to start running and try and do a marathon in September. There is a couple in our ward (Veaters) who are gun-ho about running and doing marathons. So they got her even more excited to run. Well in signing up for the Marathon in Spanish Fork, Alicen decided that I could run it to. I am now in training to run a Marathon. I started Wednesday by running with the kids in the stroller down the Jordan River parkway by our house. Between pushing a 75 lbs stroller, stopping to pick up toys the kids throw, and them trying to talk to me. I got quite the work out. So much for listening to the ipod I took. I have decided that running is hard work and with a stroller you have to be He-man to run. Don't get me wrong I am actually excited to try a marathon and see how I do. My sister Robyn has been doing them, and triathlons. She looks like she has fun, so why not me.
My first test comes Saturday at our Wards yearly Cannon Ball Run down the Jordan parkway that I tried to run down. Its just a 5k race for fun but it gets bigger every year. They are having a Paste party tonight just to get everyone ready for the race tomorrow. I will be taking the kids on a run and walk throughout the race. It should be fun. Alicen has school so she is chickening out! Wish me luck!
