LONG BEACH MARATHON

If you ladies began now, I think you can be ready to walk the half.  I would anticipate it would take you about 4 hours.

Do a google search on 'half marathon training program' I know there are places on the web that would provide you with a schedule of how much you would need to walk everyday to be ready.

It is possible! YOU CAN DO IT!

Awwww U went and signed up without me.  Well maybe next time.  Have fun

Not so fast, you can still sign up....we can shuffle the 5k and be drunk at the bar by the time Jean and Rhonda finish the half.

Miss Diane,

I haven't signed up yet, so I can we can sign up together! I will probably do better if Im pushing your wheelchair! I am waiting to get the funds together so that I can register. So if you are up to it, just let me know.

Hugs, love, & friendship always,

There is plenty of time for you to sign up.  I just needed to get that off my plate and needed to find someone who wanted to do the 1/2 with me.  Sign up for the 5K and you can take the scooter and go with Monica.  And we will meet you at the bar afterwards.  I think that would be great.  Sorry I did not call you back yesterday I forgot to charge the phone and it was dead.  I will listen to messages in while after I get some paperwork done over here.  Have a good day and go on line and sign up race starts at like 6:30 a.m. are you up for that?

Love ya,

Rhonda

OOOOHHH I AM SO EXCITED NOW  : )

There are soooo many OH'rs signing up for this, this is totally awsome.  The website to sign up is:
www.runlongbeach.com

I tried out my new shoes tonight and wow they felt great.  I walked 1 mile in about 28 minutes.  I could probably have done it in about 21 minutes, but my DH was with me and I worry so much about his bad knees so I slow down a bit for him.

I told him he needed to be at the race like a tourist and take pictures just like I did for so many years when he was running 5 & 10 k's.  He actually ran the LA Marathon in 1987 and finished.  After this he no longer ran as he really screwed up his knees from years of running on concrete. 

Ok, I am going to start a list of people that I know of so far that are participating. 

JEAN - you stated the coffee was on the 16th in an earlier post, I think you meant the 26th.  I will name tags ready for the names I have on the sheets.  Who else is coming that would like a name tag?  Send me a PM

Annette

Hi Annette
You are right the coffee is on the 26th.....figures my fingers weren't working ....I will post more detailed info later as it gets closer but thanks for correcting me....OMG I would feel terrible if people showed up on Wed.....YIKES....thats what  you get from a blonde.....

Jean -

You may be blonde but you are beautiful and that is the most important. 

They say blondes have more fun, but when they post the wrong dates I guess they would be having the most fun at someone else's expense  LOL....  This would have really been funny.  Me an my dumb ass probably would have told work that I needed to leave for a long lunch, just because I am looking forward to seeing everyone again and then wouldn't sleep tonight or tomorrow because I have not made the name badges (uh oh).  No worries, they will be done by the 26th.

Have a great day.

Annette
