Kristyle, aka my mom, is one of my greatest inspirations! She is one of the hardest working people I know. She seems to do it all, and do it all perfectly, and humbly. My mom is a runner. She has done 7 marathons, (I think, sorry if I got that wrong Kristyle) and goes at least 4 times a week, rain or shine. She runs because she loves it, for the sheer joy of RUNNING! My mom has done a lot of races in her day and one of her favorite races is the Moab Half Marathon. She just received an email yesterday informing her she is now part of the Moab Half Marathon 10 YEAR CLUB, which means she has a guaranteed entry in the race! I'm so proud of her!To celebrate Kristyle being in the 10 Year Club and since she has a guaranteed entry in the race, I think I'm going to fly out from Chicago and run the race with her March 8, 2008! I have done this half marathon before and thoroughly enjoyed it. So my question is, do I have any takers? Anyone else interested in running the race? Let me know!

I just left you a comment on your previous post..but then I saw this one come up, so we must be blogging at the same time. Funny.
I will totally do this race. I'd love to do it if we are in town. This is a really fun easy one too.
lar, i want to do it, i need to get in shape, so i will say i will do it.
I think I'll have had Leah about a week earlier so I'm game :) Ha Ha, maybe you can stop in and see her.
running is lame :)

that was T trying to be funny. not me.
You know I am totally in Laura Jane....but is it already all booked. I know that that is a hard one to get into....
i will go and cheer you on from the trunk of the buick . . . remember those days? we would eat McDonalds because that is what dad would fix for us, and we would sit in the trunk and watch mom run in . . . classic.
Oh, Laura, thank you for your kind words! This is a great race! FYI to anyone interested--go to the website beginning Nov 15 to enter the lottery. I think it is open for about 2 weeks.
(PS to Terry: Ha ha--don't knock it 'til you've tried it!)
Lera, I would love to do it! My gym has a group that is doing it too and I have to let this know this week if I'm in. I'm kinda nervous though about training during the winter! If I can get a group or a buddy to train with me then I would for sure do it! Let me know if you know of anyone who would like to train with me! I can't get any of my friends to run with me (you're the only running buddy I could depend on!) Miss you and hope you and Mike are doing swell!
This is by far one of my favorite races! I am definitely in (that is if I can get in, I feel like it gets harder and harder every year). That is so awesome that your Mom has been doing it for 10 years, she has some serious dedication.
And to answer your question- yes, to add to my feet nastiness, I have only 7 toenails thanks to the marathon. It is all just so gross.
what a nice tribute to your mom.. i am slightly tempted b/c you know i want to do one of these but i think i have to horde my utah visits for in law visits!
I would love to race but way not in shape, but if I can get Annie to do it then I would love to come be a suppoting fan!
Laura....I am seriously contemplating coming and running. I have been running lately with a neighbor girl, and this is perfect to keep me motivated! I saw your mom's post and I am planning to enter the lottery tomorrow. That is the weekend of my birthday! What a great way to celebrate! :)
I am in. Should I just sign up online?
Laura- I really am pathetic, but thanks for your encouragment. I have to back on track :)
And no, I don't have a Garmin, but that is at the top of my Santa list. Do you have one?
