That's what I'm going to do. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108466149514530396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219926960049007.post-72201525273352907972012-09-18T10:15:00.852-04:002012-09-18T10:15:00.852-04:00that is true, its a long ways away.....i'm thi...that is true, its a long ways away.....i'm thinking hard on it!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193589124708203445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219926960049007.post-21432454406173960372012-09-18T08:25:24.738-04:002012-09-18T08:25:24.738-04:00DO IT!

And since the one you want to do is so many months out, you have PLENTY of time to get in a running routine and build your base. I would run it with you if I lived in Georgia. :)erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087894658713504760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219926960049007.post-16615354528462174282012-09-17T20:49:59.828-04:002012-09-17T20:49:59.828-04:00no complete sentences or even regular capitalizati...no complete sentences or even regular capitalization necessary here--this is a safe space lol--& yes! lets go to the gym--we will talk in real life about it soon =)Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193589124708203445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219926960049007.post-51201190391054776552012-09-17T19:47:30.543-04:002012-09-17T19:47:30.543-04:00Also, A) That first sentence is an embarrassingly ...Also, A) That first sentence is an embarrassingly bad run-on and a testament to how crazy my day has been and B) This is Nellene.Neenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365086096442202674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219926960049007.post-9527694581447373602012-09-17T19:46:16.847-04:002012-09-17T19:46:16.847-04:00Okay, so I'm not allowed to run, but I would t...Okay, so I'm not allowed to run, but I would totally work out with you if you wanted to ease your way into working out, I'm considering joining a gym to do elliptical and light weights 2 or 3 times a week. I haven't decided yet, but if you were interested, it might help me lean toward the "for" side of things :-)Neenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365086096442202674noreply@blogger.com
