They called themselves the 1/2 crazy ladies...because they are crazy enough to train and run 13.1 miles, but only 1/2 crazy because its not a full marathon....just a 1/2...."JUST A 1/2" "Just" should never be coupled with the training Laura did to get ready for this race. She spent hours running, cross training (Jillian Michaels' videos, swimming, weight training,etc ), and eating healthy to get ready. Laura never thought she would actually do a 1/2 marathon...or if she did - it was going to be at Disneyworld...but Brindee Loveless said "Lets do it" and Laura said, "OK!" Laura said it was neat to see her body build endurance as the runs got longer and her body was able to complete the weekly tasks. Laura followed the training schedule religiously... and there were blisters, aches, pains, and hours of dedication, running in sun, rain, wind, and treadmill pounding, but when race day came...SHE WAS READY!
**Laura designed the shirts and had them made....Laura, Brindee Lovelss, and Holly Dickman (who trained with us, but found out she was moving so couldn't do the actual race with us...sad, but we understood!) bought them and wear them with pride!!!
