Digg! this story.

Oh my, what have I done. I saw the call for the Las Vegas Half Marathon and thought to myself, “Hey, that’s cool. I hope they all have fun.” Then I looked at the training plan (beginner’s of course). “Hmmm…,” I thought, “I could do this.” Emphasis on *could*. Not that I’d want to. I keep telling myself that running is not my thing. I do it because it’s an easy form of exercise. The path of least resistance. I’m all about that.
So I told Jeff that the training plan looked interesting, and that I was thinking of following it. “Why don’t you just sign up?” he says. Naw, I can’t do it. Who will watch the kids? I can’t do something frivolous like that. It’s not something a mom like me does. I drive a mini-van for Christ’s sake.
Somehow, through the course of a long coversation I ended up committing to the LVHM. Granted I haven’t registered for the LVHM and we don’t have the kids taken care of, but at a minimum I’m going to follow the training plan. Jeff says he’s going to take care of the logistics, so if I don’t go I can just blame him. 
Argh…. What have I done?

You’ve taken a big step toward becomming an IronMom! Next thing you know you’ll be swimming in open water and buying yourself a new bike that put’s Jeff’s bike to shame!
