Small Glitch In The Math

Possibly it’s because I didn’t pay attention much in school . . . somehow I thought 10 kilometers equaled 3.1 miles. Wrong! It is actually 6.2. Nonetheless I am signed up for the Tyler Azalea 10K on Saturday.

Though I would rather my FIRST RACE EVER to be a bit shorter, I am quite content with my goal being only to finish—even if I have to walk!

My husband runs it every year and sometimes even wins a medal for his age group. (He has been an avid runner since childhood and is currently preparing for his first marathon—26 miles!)

Nearly 400 Teen Mania interns will be running as well—honestly it is quite a spectacle to see them warming up and slightly taking over this annual race set in the beautiful Azalea District of Tyler.

So, if you’re praying for me—please remember me on Saturday. I’ll be huffing and puffing my way to the finish line.

    LOL. Oopsie.

    You have a fantastic run, Beth. I'll be thinking of you while I sit back on the couch in my living room and watch a movie with my son. :-D

    I had some issues with the metric system when moving here (still do in some cases)...when I was PG with Tori I'll never forget being so ecstatic that I only gained 2 KGs the first month until I was reminded to multiply by 2.2...bummer!

    I will say a prayer for you!

    Not a big fan of math, either! You'll do great! I'll pray for strength and endurance to cross that line! xoxox
