Trying the blog on for size

I blogged a couple of years ago when I traveled to Brazil, and found it to be fun. I cannot seem to find that blog anymore, which means it is lost in cyberspace, with nobody reading it. Hopefully it was not so boring that google deleted it.

I thought it would be fun to blog the experiences that my friend Missy and I have in our 50-50-10 challenge. Missy posed it to me on Sunday, July 18, 2010. Having just turned 40 on July 5, Missy was looking for a new challenge. She and I have become obsessed with running and other events; tris, bike races, nothing is safe from us.

She proposed to me that we run 50 half-marathons in 50 states in 10 years (by the time she turns 50). I think that is a fabulous idea! At a minimum, we need to run 5 half-marathons a year for the next ten. And a bunch of fun travel involved as well.

So...just trying to get the blog together to start to post the fun times that will be had by all in trying to meet our goal. I cannot imagine that anyone intends on reading this blog for the next ten years, other than Missy and I. But, we can laugh at ourselves and each other and keep fond memories of our successes and failures. And that's good enough for me!
