Until very recently exercise played no part in my life at all apart from a walk to the shops or to the office from my car. In March this year though that all changed and in a flash i was a member of a gym going 3 times a week and signed up for 2 runs. 1 at 10k and 1 at 5k, both with my Moonwalk companion, Emma.
It was on one of these Runs (well more like walk/jog/walks) that Emma and I discovered that we both always fancied doing the moonwalk but had never got any further than saying it out loud. It was then we decided that we would sign up for 2009, I registered with the website to be notified of the application date and now a good few months later we both have confirmation emails and are excited at the prospect of being part of such an amazing event for a such a worthwhile cause.
We decided upon the half marathon this time due to us not being very fit (yet!!) and the prospect of 26 miles being just to much for us to cope with this time round, but have already said that if this goes well 2010 will be the year of the marathon for us. Emma and I work together so from Monday next week we are going to transform our usual sarnies at our desks to walks round the block in preperation.
I have found the facebook group for the Moonwalk so encouraging and has made me even more excited to be taking part. Reading the stories and tips everyone is sharing is great and think that it will be a great source of encouragement and motivation whilst preparing for the run. Just seems so far away at the moment though i am sure it will be upon us before we know it.
Anyway think I have waffled on quite enough for my first post and if you have read this far thank you, you are very patient :). All for now C x
