Call me crazy but I've already made a New Year's Resolution for next year. I'm running a half marathon. Yikes!!!! I was inspired from watching Biggest Loser and seeing the contestants that used to be 250+ pounds run a full marathon. I thought that if they can run a full the least I can do is run half. Also, about 5 1/2 years ago I was supposed to run the Moab Half Marathon but got sick during the winter and couldn't train so my gracious roommate, Erin took my spot. I don't think, wait, I'm absolutely positive that I won't be able to beat "my" previous time but my goal is to do it under 2 1/2 hrs. That's feasible, right?! Anywho, thought I'd let you in on one of my resolutions. Let the training begin!!!!

You go Tracie!!
Cool! I was thinking about doing something similar hmmm dont know if a half marathon is my style though... Way to go!
Alright Tracie!!
I already told my girls friend I'd run the 10 mile Pear Blossom with her this April! So we'll be training together....
Awesome! I did a 5 K with the family and now I'm going to train for a half with a friend also! We'll be long distance training buddies!!! Look for our card in the mail! Merry Christmas!
YEAH!! You go girl!! I'm so pumped for you. 2 1/2 hours is definitely feasible. I'll be cheering you on; keep us posted on how your training goes!!
GO for it!
Goooo Girl! Awesome goal.
Yay! Way to go! The Biggest Loser is SO inspiring! I've only watched it about 4 times, but I'm always inspired.
So I always thought that you went to St. George and ran the marathon there every year. Was I way off?
So proud of you!!! In the middle of typing this I just got a call from you, but I'm still going to post it anyway! Way to go! I am glad that you're going to do it. As I said on the phone, I will be there that weekend (unless the training for work turns out to be then) and Addie and I will be there to cheer you on! Looking forward to seeing you one month from today!!! YAY!!!
Natalie - you are soo off. The thought of running a marathon makes me want to crawl back into bed. I'm impressed that you're working on your second. Keep it up. As for me, I don't think a marathon is in my near future.
Good luck Tracie. I am glad I did a half once, but it is not my thing. Learn from me and keep to the training schedule.
Awesome, you'll do great! Ryan and I are also doing a 1/2 in May here in Columbus. I think this is the first 1/2 I will have run since I ran as Tracie Wu (thanks again for giving me your slot :)
Holy Cow! Tracie runs?! I was unaware that you had ever exercised before! lol! Good luck! We did a marathon when we were engaged. Went from not running to doing a full fledged marathon in 3 1/2 months! It was insane! We plan to do at least a half in 2011...i want to be done nursing to do it! We are going to Nashville TN for ours! Good luck!
The Biggest Loser inspires me to do a lot of things... I always eat better on Wednesdays- that's for sure.
I'm so proud of you!! You are totally going to smash that 2.5 hour goal- you're Tracy! You could probably sprint that bad boy in a few minutes!
I've heard that race is beautiful- ENJOY that scenary and the gu!
Awesome! You go girl:)
