When we first moved to Arizona I got the bright idea that I wanted to run a 1/2 marathon. A few girls in the ward were doing one and I figured it would be fun, unfortunately I have a motivation problem...I run out it incredibly quickly! As was the case with my desire to run the 1/2 marathon. Well my lovely husband didn't want me to loose faith on 1/2 marathon dreams so for Christmas he registered me, unfortunately that only left me with 5 weeks to learn how to run 13 miles (I hadn't ran in months!)
I had to start out not going very far, but today I ran 8 miles, and in pretty good time. To you big time runners 8 miles might not seems like a whole lot, but it is definitely the furthest I have ever ran. Now I just have to figure out to add on another 5, and I'll be set! The race is in three weeks, and with a longer run under my belt I'm getting more excited and a lot more confident that I will actually be able to finish it.

i'm seriously considering running it with you! even though i haven't been running at all lately, something in me wants to be spontaneous and see if i could just do it with no preparation! good job on your 8 miles!
