Our friend next door signed up for the marathon as well, as did a friend of my husband who lives in Florida. Looks like we are going to have a group with us...that will make it even more fun. I don't think any of us will run it together since we all have different paces...but at least we can get each other pumped up before the race and we can share our stories of victory (I'm thinking positive here) after we are finished.
