In the fall of 2010, a wonderful friend of mine, Melissa, called me up and told me she had a question for me. She prefaced it with, in spite of the fact, that it may sound challenging she knew we could do it. Uh oh...sounds interesting. She then made it sound even scarier when she said that I should remind myself that if I dealt with cancer...what she was about to ask me to do would really be nothing....oh Boy!!!! What could this endeavour possibly be?
A HALF MARATHON!!!
Yes, a half marathon in May 2011! I thought about it for half a second or so and in a moment of insanity agreed. Melissa was great at telling me how we had months to train...over a half year to be exact. That definitely sounded like plenty of time and I also loved the idea of going to see the west coast so I was in....and that's how this story all began :)
