What was I thinking???

I just registered for the December '09 Honolulu Marathon...What was I thinking?

My knees hurt just thinking about it.

But really...I am excited and looking forward to the challenge. And hopefully I will be crossing this line Dec 13th.

that's really really awesome! i'm hoping that i can someday run in and finish a marathon. but i think i may just settle for a 1/2 marathon. i'm nowhere near being in condition right now for one, but hopefully in my near future. and what sucks is that most of them are on sundays. ugh.
go matti!! you rock!

Bonnie said...

You go girl!!! Good for you:-)

Woo hoo!! You can totally do it! Marathons are so fun and exciting! If you start doubting yourself just remember that Jordan ran the whole thing without training at all..ok without doing any running at all...so you'll be fine (training definitely makes the experience much more enjoyable though.) It's going to be so fun...wish I was there to run it with you!

And to think you signed up AFTER Texton slept through the night ... if you'd of done it before he started sleeping through the night you'd have a valid excuse for loosing your mind ;o) ... "sorry, I must have hit 'submit' while sleep walking" :)

Actually, I'm really excited for you. Maybe Centry and I can make it out there in time to wave you past the finish line.

What an inspiration, I am having a hard time signing up for a 5K!

Ashley C said...

WOW. My knees also hurt thinking about that. :) I found out recently that I have bad knees and they start to hurt now when I run.

That's awesome that you have that motivation. Good luck!
