Hershey Half Marathon

Noah and I are going to be team racing in the Hershey Half Marathon this year in Hershey, PA!!!


So, this run takes place on October 16th which is a good five months away give and take some weeks. A half marathon is 13 miles and Noah and I thought we would both have to run 13 miles....this is not true. It is a relay for us because we signed up as a team.

Noah runs 6 miles and I will run 6 miles. Even better for two people who haven't done much in the way of exercise in about 10 years.

The run benefits the Childrens Miracle Network and the locally raised money will be given to the Penn State Hershey Children's hospital. The route of the run will run past this hospital and it's rumoured that the people from the hospital will be cheering us on as we run by. EPIC!

We both belong to Planet Fitness and attend about twice a week... on a good week. Lately, I've been pushing Noah to focus on running or jogging to build up our stamina. I try to start with 5 minutes of running and alternate 3 minutes of running and 3 minutes of fast walking. We only spend about 30 minutes at the gym each visit and by the end of the 30 minutes we are both about to collapse.

The other day I told Noah that we need to start getting really serious about running and going to the gym 3 times a week and running around Comly on the weekend. Noah suggested we start that routine in October. gulp.

We're gonna die on the chocolate smelling streets of Hershey, PA.



Also, I found this picture on the internet somewhere and think it's awesome.
