I chose to participate in the Publix Georgia Half Marathon for one main reason. It is close to my house. My friend Amy and I were trying to decide between either this one or the Nashville half. We chose this one primarily because we could drive there and would not have to stay overnight or [...]
This might be a gross topic to some of you but it is important to me so I am going to blog about it. If you are squeamish or HATE feet like my friend Michael does, you might want to NOT read this post. If you can handle it, read on. I have a black [...]
Well, I did it! 13.1 miles! In this post, I will give you emotional highlights and fun things from the race. I will talk more about the actual race course and logistics of the race when I do my race recap! So, you all know from my earlier post that I was a nervous wreck! [...]
I have had a very anxious day. To say I have been nervous would be a complete understatement. I have been a complete wreck. We got up and went to the Health and Fitness Expo which was fun! I saw this shirt and I should have bought it: If you can’t read it, is says, [...]

What makes someone “a runner?!?” I was talking to my friend Amy the other night and we were talking about our upcoming half-marathon and what we were doing to train for it. I had been “jogging” for a few weeks to get ready and she said she had only run once or twice and she [...]
