Havasu Half Marathon 2010
I’m going to step outside of the normal format today to write in the first person. This morning I registered for The Havasu Half Marathon, which will take place on April 10, 2010 in Lake Havasu City.
This past April, my business partner from The Concierge Service Team, Mike Konen, who is an avid runner himself gave me a challenge. He told me that he was going to sign me up for The Havasu Half Marathon in 2010 and that I had better start training. Never having run more than a mile at one time in my life – I thought he was nuts. But, with both diabetic parents and myself having ballooned to almost 230 pounds – I knew I needed to make a life change. I accepted his challenge and I began walking. Since April 29, I have been training for the half marathon which will take place next year. Now, I’m over 50 pounds lighter than I was and I can now run 6 miles non-stop. I’m excited to say that I feel like I’m definitely going to be ready to run this race come April.
I’m really excited that an event in our town of Lake Havasu City has been able to invoke such a change in my life. And, I’m really thankful for a business partner who not only helps me to improve my business every day, but has improved my life and health and urged me to be a stronger and more active person.
