I cam across an interesting idea the other day via Kelly Barton whose posted on her blog, this challenge to Oregonians to run a half marathon every month for a whole year. WOW!!!! I had never thought of this idea, and I have to admit I am intriuged. Kelly went on to post a list of events for each month and I think I am going to go ahead and repost them here as well. So the question is, who wants do any of these with me?????
