Marathon, Here We Come!

I have never been excited to run, but, today, I am excited to run!

Winnie told me that Tree also wants to run the marathon with us. So, that makes four: me, Winnie, Tree, and Billy. At first, I thought they were all just trying to humor me and had no real intentions of training and running too, but the more we talk, the more I realize that they are committed too. I've totally got a running crew!

Winnie and I were on the San Francisco Marathon's website, reading up about the training program and how we can run and train for free if we raise money for a charity. We also read about how we can start a team if we can recruit at least one more member. So, it clicked: What if we start a work team and raise money for our youth educational programs? We could even run in matching outfits!

Winnie also reminded me that we need to get together a training schedule if we're really going to go all out. I'm going to look into that. In the meantime, she and I both put the SF Marathon training program's information night on our calendar. We're gearing up; we're getting ready to go.
