Accountability

I honestly thought that the only people who would read this blog would be me and Tim and maybe one of my friends who was up at night and might be bored. Certainly I didn't think I would hear about it from anyone. Boy was I wrong. On Saturday we were at a BBQ and one of my friends had asked me if I had still planned to run the marathon next Labor Day weekend, I said yes. She then told me that she was thinking that she might want to run it as well with me. I was stoked, I later found out that another friend and her mother were going to be attempting to run it too. Wow! Today I was talking to my baby sister about it and she even said that she wanted to participate in some way. This whole thing has taken on a life of its own. When I told Tim about it he said "You know what that's called? Accountability." I honestly thought that the only accountability that I had would be Tim and I and this blog, but it turns out that not only do I have people on my side rooting for me, but I have friends and family who are even willing to run with me as well. This motivates me so much more to get it in gear and be able to run the 1/2 marathon.
