funny story

so josh and i have been training to run the equinox as you all know...we're on a 20 week training program that builds our long runs up from 4 to 20 miles, each week building another mile on the previous week.well,last sat we ran 7 miles,and this week was sposed to be 8.i ran into a friend in the store on friday,and knowing im a runner, she asked if i was gonna run the two way torture half marathon on sat,and i said whats that? she explained its a 13.1 miles(half marathon distance)run split between two people so we'd each run opposite directions and split the milage(6&1/2 miles each)i said cool! maybe josh and i would do it as our long run and add sm on at the end....so we signed up...go team lambert!

well first off we train on flat ground in north pole...our first wake up call was the hills....the first 4-5 miles was straight uphill...i ended up taking quite a few walking breaks, and pretty soon i asked the lady i was running next to why we hadnt passed the other team yet???odd no??? she said soon we would pass the fast runners... i was like "uh,isnt the half marathon split up?" and she was like"no,no its a FULL marathon split in half"

i started laughing and told her, ooh my husbands gonna kill me(: i told her we thought we were running 6&1/2 miles today,not 13.1,and she was like "yeah i bet he cussing you out abt rt now!"i was like "yup"....of course as baptists our cussing is all G rated(poopyhead! jerkasauras rex!)

so round about mile 6-7 i passed josh going the opposite way, and yelled "you figured it out yet!?" he accused me of tricking him but we both have pride issues and refuse to quit so we kept going....yeah we did!!! we finished all 13.1 miles...and today we are hobbling around like we're 90 years old but super proud of our accomplishment!(: Go Team Lambert!!!
