A mile is 1.61 kilometers, meaning Summer, my sister, and I (and others) will be running a little over 3 miles. This event is called
"Save a Sister Run For Breast Cancer"

Here is a website to learn a little more about it. I just got done with my first training today, and I am so excited to start! Summer's sister built us a chart for every day practice up to the day of the race! Starting with walking 2 minutes and sprinting 1: I'm not used to it yet because I normally keep a pretty steady pace, but I found out that it was a lot more entertaining to switch what you are doing every now and then.
This race is on the morning of my sister-in-laws baby shower, so it's going to be a crazy day! But I am really looking forward to it!
Sounds fun! I'm not sure if we will be going to becky's baby shower yet... i think that will have to be decided about a week in advance (depending on how miles is) so I don't think i can run with you guys :( but I know you will have a great time and i'm proud of you!
