Eatin' Dirt

Ashley and I are training to run the Mercedes Marathon next weekend!!

Okay, so maybe not the whole marathon... but we are training for the marathon relay. Our team consists of Ashley's dad (12k), sister (10k), sister's friend (5k), Ashley (10k) and me (5k). We've known about the race since Christmas and have been training ever since -- NOT!! (at least not me)

Now that this race is right around the corner, I am starting to realize I am in no shape to take on even a 5k.... whoops! So this past week Ashley and I have been running together.

I have been eating her dirt!

For some reason I think that I can go from months of inactivity to running a 5k with little effort -- I could barely run 1 mile. Not good for someone who has to run 3 (possibly 6 - depending on Kari's knee injury) in little over a week...

Here's Ashley finishing the 2010 San Antonio MARATHON!!


Ashley is a runner!

Oliver is someone who occasionally likes to think he's a runner... So for now, I will remain in Ashley's shadow, eatin her dirt.

At least the view is great!! :)
