We are embarking on a journey that ends with the 2010 ING Georgia Half Marathon. along the way, we hope to improve ourselves physically and mentally as well as help in the fight to cure children's cancer (more about that in later posts).

We will have new posts at least weekly designed to encourage each other and stay motivated. We also want to share training techniques and tips designed to make sure we all make it through this without injury and looking and feeling FABULOUS! (See the "Tip of the Week" at the end of this post).

This is just a welcome post. There will be a new post soon with all the details that you'll need: registration, raising money, charity, shirts, etc.

For now, Ladies, keep training, raising money and tell all your friends and family about this blog. Ask them to follow us and show their support!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!

Tip of the Week

Ladies, those of you that are training outside are intimately acquainted with the fact that the weather is brutal in the winter, especially lately. Obviously, this can wreak havoc on your skin. So, don't forget: moisturize, moisturize, moisturize (don't forget your lips)!

Here's what I swear by for outside runs:

Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief

Enjoy rapid refreshment and a full 12 hours of soothing moisture with an addictive by-a-waterfall feel. Advanced hydration boosters and a new botanical blend hold skin's moisture in balance through stressful shifts in humidity, indoors and out.

DCT®

Blistex Daily Conditioning Treatment combines moisturizers, vitamins and protectants to provide a daily maintenance regimen for your lips.

DCT keeps your lips in perfect condition every day of the year, in all climates, through all activities.

Smooth & Supple Lips: DCT nurtures your lips with two proven moisturizers, Aloe and Cocoa Butter, plus Vitamins A&E. DCT softens and smoothes the surface of lips to help them look and feel young. DCT helps to prevent and replenish moisture-starved cells that can occur from daily exposure to dry air and other environmental conditions.

Sun Protection: Aminobenzoic acid (PABA)-free DCT provides SPF 20 protection.

Sun Alert: Limiting sun exposure, wearing protective clothing, and using sunscreens may reduce the risks of skin aging, skin cancer and other harmful effects of the sun.

And remember, while you're whipping your muscles into shape, don't forget to keep your skin looking and feeling GREAT! Here's a great article on winter skin care: http://runninginheels.co.uk/articles/winter-skincare/
