Half Marathon

Ok, so I know some of you have already heard this idea that I have been concocting, but I thought I'd make sure and post so everyone knows about it and that all are invited to participate/attend. I have decided to train for the St. George half marathon. It is on Saturday January 19th at 9:00am in St. George Utah. I have discussed it with some of the fam and it sounds like most are pretty excited. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to have as many of us there as we can. Shell suggested making t-shirts that we can all wear that say something to do with Scoville Family, and I thought that would be so fun for us to all race if we can. Now, I know some of us are not really runners (me included) but we have a little over six months to train, so we should have plenty of time. Also, there is going to be a 5k the same day, I believe at the same time, and so maybe some could do that if they're not feeling up to the half marathon. Just so everyone knows, the half marathon is 13.1 miles and the 5k is 3.1 miles. So, hopefully everyone can participate somehow, and if not, we will definitely need some cheerleaders cheering us on. So, I have talked to Jon, Shell, and sort of Steve (mom talked to steve, but i'm calling him today since he doesn't really check the blog!). All are interested. So let me know if anyone else wants to come or participate. Oh, and Shell says to count Ty in for at least attending. There is a link to the page giving the details of the races. It is http://www.sgcity.org/recreation/races/painters.php Let me know if you have any questions, I think this could be a really fun way of getting together!! Love you guys. Steph

It still sounds fun. I will see what I can do. How do you train for something like this? The most I would be able to do is the 5K I think, but I am up for trying as long as I have cooperative children!
