The Dam Marathon

Let the lame jokes begin! In June the Teton Dam Marathon kinda over takes Rexburg. Last year there was a huge banner that said Dam Marathon stretching over Main Street. Students tell Dam jokes all the time. I decided in my insaneness that I want to run the 10k, like I said in my last post. Why? Well, there's a couple of reasons

1. Becky Trimble is one of my good friends. Before she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes with Merilee she was my size. Watching her loose a lot of weight and then start to run half marathons was inspiring.

2. The people I spent most of my time with this last fall were runners. Charity Call, Erin Andrus, Jeff Andrus and Becky. I did tried to start running in the fall but realized I am way out of shape. I also hated it. I got to the end of the street and decided it was so not worth it.

3. I want to accomplish something. Can you imagine how good I'll feel about myself crossing that finish line? It's going to be so great.

4. This is the really lame one. A runner's diet is basically carbs. What does Christy eat? Carbs. I'll get healthy without having the change my diet too much. (I know it's a bad one)

I'm buying a watch this weekend when I go to Wal-mart so I can start this thing. Training starts next week. First I'm doing a training program to get into running and then when that finishes I'll start the training for the 10k. I can so do this!

Here's the map, and here's the page. Here we go!

A goal

Oh, dear. What am I getting myself into? I have just set a goal to run a 10k. crazy right? I hate running. I liked it for a little while when I was thinner but man, it just makes me want to poke my eyes out. None the less, come when ever this race is I'm going to be running. I've decided it and it's only a 10k. I'll update with more information later but this is good enough for now. I'm tired and want to go to sleep but I can't yet because I have some homework I need to do. I also need to get up and be on campus at 7. I'm going to get no sleep tomorrow. Good thing I can come home and take a nap. So long now.
