Getting Company!

I'm SO excited! My friend Ginger - who has successfully lost 70+ pounds and kept it off and now works as a personal trainer in addition to being a Navy wife - is going to come do the race with me! She lives in GA and I haven't seen her in five (I think) years. Ironically, or maybe perfectly, we met back on America Online on a diet buddy email list. So, 14 years later, here we will be!

In other, yet similar, news my friend Jen (pictured below at the Nike Women's Half Marathon this past October) is also in. And maybe her sister Meredith. Jen and Meredith and I all went to high school and college together. Jen ran the half in 2:40, so if I can just stay paced with her I'll be in GREAT shape!



I also think we have Jenny - a former coworker of mine and Kindergarten teacher extraordinaire - joining us.

On the other hand, my family (read: sisters, BILs, and parents) think I'm insane and have NO interest in joining me. Although I MIGHT be able to convince my middle sister Katherine to come run the 5K.

I walked for an hour in the cold today, too.

All in all, a good day (except for the argument with my sister and BIL, but that's a different topic and not one that I'll blog about since it's really just between us). :)
