We've got the runs...

Tyler and I just registered for the I Run for the Party 1/2 Marathon on November 14th! I've been training for the half for a while and was supposed to do one yesterday, but Spirit Week combined with Fall Break laziness sabotaged my training and I decided that it would be in my best interest to sit this one out. I was kinda sad because it was the Haunted Half and I was going to dress up...

BUT NEVER FEAR! I've found a Halloween 5k that has a costume contest and everything-- $100 for the best costume, $100 for the best Michael Jackson look alike!

Mom and Dad E, it's a run/walk. Ya'll should come out and join us! You don't HAVE to dress up. You can just laugh at all the heathens out there.

Tyler and I are also going to do the Boulevard Bolt with Papa Alwahab on Thanksgiving Day! Want to make it an Alwahab-Echols family event? It's for a good cause (www.boulevardbolt.org) and it's a lot of fun, from what I hear. It's a 5 mile run/walk down Belle Meade Blvd and it supports homeless services in Nashville.

Anyway. That's what's new with us. We've been inspired by all the weight loss going on over there on Jackson Lane and don't want to be the only 2 fatties in fabulous Las Vegas in April. Brad, Lea--I think that was the perfect motivation to put a little hitch in our giddy up and get moving again. (Tyler's comment to that last sentence, "When did we become 45 year old people?!")

Hope all is well with everyone else. Can't believe the holidays are approaching so soon--Christmas is less than 9 weeks away! EEK! Let's get those Christmas lists circulating, people!
