In my attempts to get fit, I realized I needed goals. But not just a 10k which I've done before. It had to be something new AND harder. So what did I do? I signed up for the
Ogden Half Marathon on May 15, 2010.
As if that wasn't crazy enough, I also joined a team for the
Ragnar Relay Wasatch Back on June 18-19, 2010.
Yes, crazy is confirmed. I've never in my life run more than a 10k or for more than an hour at a time. Both of these races will require so much more than that! They will also require me to have a surplus of good running songs so I don't over do it with the ones I already have. So I'm asking you, my faithful readers (even though I'm not so faithful at writing) to provide me with your suggestions for good running songs before I start my intense training at the beginning of February. What have you run to, worked out to, cleaned to, or music that just gives you that last bit of motivation?

Yes, CRAZY is a word that comes to mind!
Just kidding. I think that is so great. You know I've never been a runner; a gym-goer all the way and I always just watch TV so I never really use my iPod. I'm not very much help am I? But, I am so excited for you! I can't wait to follow you along your way. Bryce signed up for the Ragnar Relay last year--but then decided it wasn't for him once he started training. He's a sprinter. We like our ride bikes too much. :)
And I really am so PROUD of you. You will be awesome!
I want to know what your training plan is. Maybe I should start thinking about a plan too. I never have a plan....just run, but a plan would be good. Fill me in :)
you are so dedicated....i would be proud of myself just to sign up let alone actually run. You never cease to amaze me. i hope everything is going well for ya I haven't talked to ya in a while. We love ya!!
Ah!!! How exciting!! The Ogden half is supposed to be a really great one and the Wasatch Back is SO FUN!! I love running to Lady Gaga, the Ateens, Kelly Clarkson, and the Step Up 2 soundtrack-basically anything really peppy and fast paced. Can't wait to hear how the races go!!
