I was hoping to walk the bridge after work if the weather clears up. If not, I'll hit the gym. I have my clothes and I'm ready to go. :)
Well, I'm 72% sure Renee has inspired me to do the Bridge Run this year?? It's a 10k! For those of you who can't convert from the metric system in your head (Shame on you!), that's 6.2 miles. EEK! I know I'd be walking most of it.. But good grief. I don't know that I've ever walked that far before? Not on purpose. It seriously freaks me out. And while I want to say, "Not this year, maybe next year." I feel like I should do it this year just to prove to myself that I can. Plus, I'll get a free t-shirt! Bonus!
I'm trying to get Maggie to do it with me, but she's not all that thrilled about it. She thinks we'll come in last. But I think I would still do it even if I did it alone. I'd be happy just to finish at all.
So what do you all think? Yay or nay? Should I "train" for next year or just suck it up and do it? Keep the comments coming! You know I love it!

OMG!! Really??? I had thought about doing the Peachtree Road Race by myself!! Oh Lizzie if you do it, I will!! This is great!! What?? I can't believe Maggie doesn't want in??? I'm surprised! I def think it's a YAY!! How exciting!!!
Well of course I say YAY!! You guys won't come in last...and so what if you do! It will give you a great sense of acomplishment and I KNOW you can do it!!
Do it! I'm in too (assuming my mom will watch my kids that morning...or hey, maybe Maggie can do it since she doesn't want to walk. LOL!). I walked it once (many, many years ago) and had the greatest time. Of course, there were about 80lbs less of me walking it then!
THE PRESSURE, THE PRESSURE !!! lol I will do it, but only if you promise to do short jogging sprints with me or else I will go insane. Now I gotta fork out the cash. lol LMK when you go online to sign up ... & Jen ?! O.M.G. it just seems scary to me ... mainly it's the crowds & the PARKING that freaks me out, just to clarify. lol I'm getting weird about that stuff in my old age. BUT ... I'm IN, my little gopher !!!!! :o)
I will jog to the best of my abilities... But you know how I am with my Charlie horses/tennis elbows/DVT flare ups.
So, we're gonna do it?!?! Jennifer, you better do it too! :) Yay!
Well, I'm not making any jogging promises. Lol! I'll try though. Maggie, I hear you on the crowds, parking, etc. That stuff freaks me right on out. But, I'll be ok with it since the kids won't be there. Now to convince my mom to babysit at that early hour.
I'm highly impressed!!! By all of you girls..........!!! zowie.... The energy! And, by the way Liz, SURELY we walked the equivilent of 6.5 miles in our treks thru Paris or Prague, or at the mall. You can do it!!!
Yeah, I walked more in Paris than anywhere in my whole life. Maybe it was 6.2 miles?! I'd like to think..
I did lose 8 lbs. on that trip! But I think it was the walking combined with my unfortunate bout of food poisoning.. Cezanne!!
Ok Maggie...I gave Liz a little help with parking and I'll get you guys in my "secret" lot on the Mt. P. side!! It will be fun!! See ya in March!!! :0)
