Today I registed for the Columbus Half Marathon.

Have I lost my mind??

Anyone want to join me??

Dad? (Maybe!)

Erin? (A definite Maybe! She's starting to train!!)

Todd or Jeff? (Todd's in! YEAH!)


I decided to start this blog to track my progress and to keep myself accountable.

I made up my mind to do this, and that is exactly what I am going to do!

WISH ME LUCK!!
