When I first set out to run the race for dad I wanted to do it alone. Travel, run, celebrate alone. But I've been thinking.
I want someone with me. I want friends and family to join in the fun. I want it to be a celebration. I want it to be a big deal!
So...I was just wondering how many of you people out in the blogosphere, who read this, who know me, or who just want to, would like to do the Capital 10K in March with me? You can walk it or run it or push kids in strollers in it even.
Just imagine if a big ol' group of us met there? We could share some hotel rooms, eat out the night before, celebrate afterwards....
And we could all support each other as we trained. Each one of us could determine our goal, find our own unique motivation and on March 29th, 2009 we could celebrate our victories together.
I think it'd be cool. I want to share this with you guys. My friends and family. But I don't just want people cheering from the sidelines. I want you right there with me running or walking for your own reasons.
We could even get matching shirts! "Bloggers who became runners!" : ) or something...
And when I say "you" I mean ANY of you. I'm not just talking to a small group of people - i mean any of you. Even if i hardly know you...or don't at all.
Just think for a minute how cool it would be if a big huge group of us did this together? I just really really think it'd be awesome...and we'd all have our own reasons, our own goals. Once you crossed the starting line it'd just be you versus you. There's no way you could lose.
So...any takers?
You're 6.2 miles from achieving something you never thought you would...
let's do it!

oohhhhh....interesting...
Count me in!! I downloaded a 10k 8 week program for beginners and put some new songs on my Ipod.
um.. how can anyone resist this kind of persuasion?!
i'm in!
God help me. but i'm in.
you may have to wait two hours after you're done for me to show up. but i'm in.
ah! i'm excited!
I'm pretty sure I'm in. I can't see a reason why not.
i'm in! for sure. i bet bekah might do it too... and maybe even my mom? this will be fun, if painful at times. :)
I'm seriously thinking about this! It sounds like so much fun! I really think I want to do this...
I had already talked to Alex about it when you started training, but didn't know if it's something you wanted to do yourself, but now that you are opening the door...
I'll do it!
I just talked to my hubby and he wants to do it too!
I seriously can't wait!
Thank you Jenny!
i wonder.... do you think i'd be up for it??
we just found out i'm pregnant! again!
i'd be what 7 months then?? i dunno if i'd make it.
it'd be fun though. augh. i don't think i'll be able to. as much as i want to. if TJ were going to be home he'd totally be in too! he's been wanting to get back in to running like this for a while. maybe i'll just walk really really far that day in my neighborhood to show my support for all of you!
March 29th? That would be my due date. Y'all have fun, though. Someone better stay behind with me to visit me in the hospital!
I totally want to RUN it with you!!!!!! I'm soooooo excited - I think I'll go run NOW - I will need a motivator though and possibly a baby sitter occasionally!!!!!!
