I ran 6 miles!

I met up with Holly this morning, and we ran the 3-mile loop around Town Lake twice. I'm not gonna lie -- it wasn't easy, and towards the end, I had a cramp in both of my sides and in the side of my neck, but I did it! And if you're wondering why I woke up early on a Saturday morning to do such a thing, it would be because Holly somehow convinced me last week to sign up for the 3M Half Marathon in January. Crazy, huh? Holly has run several half marathons over the past couple of years and loves it, so she thought it'd be fun if we did it together this year. I agreed to sign up to run the full thing (I had originally only planned on running half of it as a relay) as long as she promised to help me train, so this morning was our first day. The plan is to keep running my shorter distances during the week and then run a longer distance with Holly on the weekends. Hopefully I am able to work on my speed a little, too, so that I'm not holding her back quite so much during the weekends and during the actual race itself. Thanks again for helping me to train, Holly. I can't believe that I let you talk me into this, but I had fun this morning and am looking forward to seeing you during every weekend during our weekend runs.
