How's it going?

Okay everyone…I just want to check in. I've had some people asking about where we're supposed to be by now with our training. No one ever responds to me, so I assumed everyone had quit on me, except my trusty friends I work with. They are still going full force. Karen run/walked 7+ miles the other day and Cindy I know has extra stress to burn off with her oldest baby graduating soon.
Kimi, I know you called and said you were "very serious." Let me know if you still are. Ashley, from talking to you over the weekend, I think we're on the same page. I'm putting you in charge of keeping up with Jennie. Leigh, I know you're probably exhausted lately with Baby Teagan, and those other two rowdy kids…or 3 rowdy boys actually, so let me know what you want to do. If you don't want to do the 1/2, then, maybe you can run a 10k with us or something later. Marsha, you're getting married in a couple of weeks, and according to Facebook you're 5 am Boot Camp classes are kicking you're booty. You should be able to pick up with us after the honeymoon, right?
I know Joni is keeping up. We are supposed to be able to do three miles at the pace you plan on doing the race by the end of this month. So if you plan on running the race, you should be able to run 3 miles by June 30. If you plan on run/walking the race, you should be able to run/walk 3 miles by June 30th. If you plan on walking the race, you should be able to walk 3 miles by June 30th. AND if you plan on sitting on your butt in the air conditioner while others run the race in November…congratulations, you're already a pro.
According to the training plan I started on, this week we should be able to run 2 miles.
