Cool Running

The older I get, the more health conscious I become. Now, I want ripped abs and sculpted legs and killer arms, but I have to admit I can't stand working out. I do, however, love the end results. So, what's the purpose of this long rant? Well, I'll tell you. But first I have to give you the back story. I'm sorry, I'm writer, and there's always a back story.

This year I was supposed to run the Aramco Houston Half Marathon, but I fell through. In my defense, I was trying to get my hands on a piece of sheep skin... My head was deeply buried in books and papers. Not really an excuse, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Moving on... I've committed to running the marathon again. Half marathon, that is. But what makes this challenge bearable, I, along with one of my best friends and one of my cousins have decided to run it together. So, we've all started training and we've created a support system for each other. My cousin and friend both live in Houston and will be able to train together, however, I'm in North Texas (all alone, but I digress), so I have to find motivation elsewhere. What's my motivation, you may ask? I found a runner's club and I went out and bought new running gear. I'm also looking at running sites. But, let's be real, I just have to get out there and run. I'll keep you posted on my progress... in the mean time, please follow our journey at 3 Runners. This site will give handy tid bits for beginning runners, as well as follow our training and progress. Feel free to comment and offer any advice, tid bit or story if you've ever ran a marathon. We look forward to hearing from you.
