I think its incredible you have such a close family that enjoys the sport together, what great memories to cherish! <br />Family is what got me into running marathons. I've run many races and some of my greatest memories to this day are the ones where I raced my sister in half marathons or had my dad training with me on my side.

I'm pretty sure I would to have gotten into running if my friend and sister had not trained for a half and went from couch to half in less than six months. I was astounded. I literally thought only like real atheletes or professionals could ever run that distance. I've run four and now am really wanting to do a marathon... except all the insecurities and doubts are stopping me for now LOL.The One Where Jenny Runshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01124430319689411610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-83681378643120661562017-03-08T15:25:58.938-05:002017-03-08T15:25:58.938-05:00i wanted a disney medal haha.
