Thanks so much for posting this!! Seems the half bug has bit in a big way around here! Think how healthy we're all becoming!!

I'm seriously considering the Philly Distance Run.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Let me know how they compare!

And to think I wasn't sure I could finish the one last weekend!! I think it's great that we are wanting to do others!! I definately think that having the goal of doing a 1/2 marathon really keeps you working out and striving towards that goal. Once I said I wasn't doing it last year I ended up stopping my exercise and I actually gained weight. Maybe having these goals keeps us on the right track!

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Yep--this is why I want to continue training...my body has never looked so good...I'm healthier looking than in college!

Still a little jiggle to lose--but in due time!
