LONG BEACH MARATHON

Okay.....

So I have heard from Monica P, Jenean, Michelle T, and to be me again (Brandi).  I have contemplated doing the 5k walk for a week now.  Well I have decided to do the 5k walk.  I am not a power walker but I will do the walk. 

Monica - you will be walking a little slower than your normal self so this just might be my speed.
Michelle T - you are walking a 5k next week, let us know how you feel afterwards, and how you did.
Jenean - You will be awsome in the 1/2 marathon I am sure.  My son will be running somewhere in there with you.
To be me again (Brandi) - You are doing an awsome job with your walking.  What time is after work for you to start walking?  It must be cooler by the beach to walk at 5pm.  I'll send you a PM to see your walking time etc. and maybe we can hook up.

I walk about 1 mile everynight.  Friday no walking (Angel Game), and last night no walking (lazy).  The other night I walked just under 2 miles in about 35 minutes.  Tonight I will try for 2 miles again and see how it goes.  I do my walking between 7 - 7:30 pm in the evenings.  I just can't handle the heat & humidity.  A morning walk at the beach will be nice.

I can't walk in shorts, so I guess it will be some type of walking pants, going to Big 5 today to buy some walking shoes as they are on sale and of course some good socks. 

OK, so let's get together at the next LB Coffee and figure out where we are going to meet for the walk and I believe we need to go to some sort of event the Fri/Sat before the walk to pick up our number etc..  I just can't believe I am actually going to sign up for this, let alone show up at 6:30am to walk.  I have now flipped my lid. 

Here's to walking the 5k and finishing on October 11th.  We should celebrate afterwards as my birthday is on the 13th.


 

Thank you Annette!  I know you'll have so much fun doing the 5K walk and I hope we can meet somewhere afterwards.  I would love to meet you and everyone else for a photo op at the very least or even to celebrate your birthday in some way.

I'm so proud you decided to do this!

Whoo-hoo Annette! I am so psyched about doing the Long Beach 5K. On the 19th I am doing the 5K, for the city of Hesperia. Most people do it in under an hour. I'm just hoping that I am not at the end of the pack. But even if I am, I will still be proud. Because I tried. I hope to go to the LBC Coffee, this month, would love to talk to you, Janeene, Brandi, and Monica.
Rhonda and her family are also doing the Hesperia 5K, something tells me that I will be trying to keep up even with her babies! Lol...
Talk to you soon! You are doing a awsome job with your workout already. And I am always up for a celebration and your birthday is an extra bonus!

Hugs, love, & friendship,

Ok so I want to do the LB thing too....I would like to think I can do the 1/2 but I think I am dreaming...but walking the 5K for sure....I need to go search the web and find out the sign up site.....but for sure we will talk at LB coffee on the 16th.....

Jean,

I think you can do the 1/2 and if you will do the 1/2 I will do the 1/2 with you.  Let me know as I think that would be a blast.

Rhonda

Hmmmm, I don't know thats a long way....and you are conditioned with all your hiking.  I can't seem to find the web site to register....can someone send it to me or post it.

I know that you can do it.  How about we sign up for it and if you feel at any point you can't do it we will call a cab and come home?  We can take it really really slow if you want.  I think if you and I try it and talk the whole way we won't even notice how long it is.  What do you think?  I am game if you are girl.

You know I would never leave you.

Rhonda

ok - I am gonna sign up and if I get to tired then I will stop but maybe you are right...maybe i can do it...especially if I start practicing and walking more....

O.k. I will go on and sign up for the 1/2.  Can I sleep over the night before as I know we have to leave like really early.  You can put me on the floor or on the patio, or I could sleep in the car!  lol.
I will go on right now and sign up myself.

Love ya and this is going to be so fun.

Rhonda.

Hey ok I am all signed up and you can absolutely sleep over and you can sleep with me as I have a giant bed and I am the only one sleeping there (besides the cats.....)  It looks like we start like at 6:15 or something like that.  and we have to pick up the bibs and stuff before hand but we can work out the details at LB coffee this month.....OMG I can not believe I am going to try this....but like you said if I can't make it I can get a ride back.....

ok gonna go in the other room now but we will talk soon.
