Below are the basics of the program:

C'mon folks- get some sneakers and do half of a marathon next January! (:-) 

i would drop dead of a heat stroke... I haven't exercised in 20+ years :)
I will throw in my support for anyone that is athletic enough to endure this race. Are they taking pledges? Or need supporters? 

I haven't exercised in 20+ years


So, you were only 9 last time you exercised... 

LOL yep thats right! (wishful thinking) 

Are they taking pledges? Or need supporters?

Not a pledge site and most of the runners/walkers are women, therefore not requiring supporters. (:-) 

No sports bra either. Wow that might get a little nasty. Lol. Jk 

Seriously, this program works for walkers with a 15 to 20 minute pace or runners with a 6 minute pace. The coaching, weekly exercise guides, gradual distance hikes and a wealth of information to keep you on track are well worth the investment and commitment.

I have seen new exercisers start in the 15 minute pace walker group and progress to the 8 minute group by the end of the year!

Which reminds me- if you have too many bumps, join now! (:-) 

OK everyone- be sure to pick up an informational brochure and a candy bar at the 4th of July parade (in Kingwood).
