Start of something new...

Just about 3 weeks until my next race. I will be running the 1/2 marathon at the PF Changs Rock-N-Roll Marathon/Half Marathon in Phoenix on January 13th. I will be running this race with fellow teammate Shelli, my sister from Colorado and a friend of hers. It will be a great girls weekend. Not to mention my birthday weekend! I will be turning 32 on the 11th! My parents will also be there to watch the race and cheer us all on.

I had hopes of running the full as I was a bit disappointed in my time from the chicago marathon in October. Life got in the way and Shelli and I made the decision to run safe and have fun instead of pushing through a tough 26 miles when your mind and body isn't quite ready for it.

If you are looking for more web reading...feel free to visit my blog that I created while training for Chicago. I was a Charity Runner for the American Cancer Society and raised just over $2K in honor of my dad who was diagonosed with prostate cancer almost a year and a half ago. He is healthy now and we are just hopeful that he stays that way for many, many, many, many more years.
