8 on the 8th Olympics Style

It's going to be 08/08/08

and the start of the Olympics!!

Let's celebrate running blogger style.

Join us for this virtual race.

Yep, lame, but got the idea from this guy and I'm on extremely limited time:

Virtual Race Directions -

1. Run 8 miles sometime around the 8th. I'm easy, any time between now and the 10th is fine. I'm also easy in the event that you need to do two-4 milers. Just join us!!
2. Post a race report on your blog.
3. Extra points for olympic-type flair (but absolutely no pressure to do so!) - I brought back some official Olympic stuff from Beijing for prizes!!
4. Notify me when your race report is up
5. Check back here for the full report

I WANT TO BE A RUNNER!!

: Name: Non-Runner Nancy; Location: Iowa, United States

With my Hub's encouragement, I read the Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer last year and began training for my first marathon. I found out that my feet can't quite hack the distance but I was able to complete a Half and have continued to run for a year now. The book had a big effect on me, hence the name Non-runner Nancy. I am constantly in a struggle to keep up the training, not let the positive changes slip and the name remains meaningful to me. I'm also in a constant battle to let the positive changes spill over into my life -- there's so much improvement to be made. Thanks to my Hub for helping me in all these areas and for starting this blog for me. It has turned into so much more than a place to record my progress. I've had a ball meeting and getting to know all of you!
