Cold Run...or that's the plan!

I'm leaving for Salt Lake tonight to go try to get a colder run in before going to Antarctica. I'm supposed to run 15 miles tomorrow morning with my friend Julie (bless her soul for running with me!). I guess they haven't been having too cold of a winter - so looks like I'll be getting up early to get as much cold air time as I can...... [And then you'll probably find me at Cafe Rio gorging on the best Pork Salad ever].

Just got caught up on this blog... I am a little (a lot) amazed! I really don't love running, but going to the gym with Mckay pushes me & it's fun to see myself get better at it. Don't think I would ever do a marathon but we are cheering you on!!! You are a running Queen! Seriously, so inspiring to me! Maybe ONE day I'll try a 1/2 marathon. But Mckay won't do it with me... come visit & run with me! :)

I was never a runner. Once in 2005 - I tried to be. I started running, signed up for a 5k and I finished it. Then I stopped. In 2008, some friends were going to run the Great Wall of China Marathon and I somehow convinced myself to give it a try. So off to China I went and ran the GWC half marathon! I fell in love. I loved running in a new country, meeting runners from all over the world, and that feeling you get when crossing the finish line. And so, naturally, when my friend asked me if I wanted to run in Antarctica [shortly after returning from China], I said YES! Sign me up. Now...almost 4 years later, we are actually doing it. And reality JUST barely hit me that I'm going to be running in 6 short weeks and I'm no where near ready! I'm not even in as good of shape as when I signed up nearly 4 years ago! But somehow, someway, I'm going to do this thing! Follow along as I try to figure out how to run 26.2 Miles in the South Pole with the penguins.
