Leading up to the Martinsville Half-Marathon, I'll feature the stories of other runners so you can hear different perspectives. Today's guest blogger is Sharon Kirby of Martinsville. Sharon is part of an amazing group of ladies who are all wives, mothers and professionals. Not only do they share a lifelong friendship together but also the love of running.
It was just over a year ago while
on vacation with a couple of girlfriends that the idea of training for a half
marathon came up.
The discussion started
at breakfast while the three of us sat around relaxing, enjoying our morning
coffee. It went something like this, “So
T, how do you stay in such great shape?”……”I try to squeeze in a run several
times a week; maybe 3-4 miles. Hey, I
have an idea! Let’s all train for a half
marathon!” And I, being a loyal friend, agreed without much thought or
hesitation.
