Well, I signed up

Not sure what got into me. Maybe the 1st time peer pressure has really been a  positive for me. I guess that is a good thing when you are 35. After the 10K in April, Sportsbackers sent out their email for the next price increase for the Richmond Half Marathon. Wheels went in motion.... And the next thing I knew, my running gals and I decided to make the leap and sign up.

Since the 1st of the year, I've been running with 2 of my Body Back friends, Amy and Angel. With the 2nd session of Body Back, we added a few more to the group: Lisa, Kay, Kim and Angie for a total of 7 of us. Each week, we run Mon & Wed at 5:30 am together and have started having our big Sat. runs here in TH at 6:00 am instead of the group runs. We like to get up early and be done with our run before the larger group runs...

I feel so lucky to have this group. Have wanted this since I started running last August and glad that I kept with the running until I found the group. We see each other some weeks, 5 or 6 times a week between Body Back class, Running and Kickboxing and it makes a real difference.

Saturday we are gearing up for our 1st 7 mile run together. And then we are going to celebrate Sat. night with the husbands and kids.
So 155 days from now, we'll be running 13.1 miles. Watch out world!

Here's a couple from the 10K
