Gary Allan Fan and Amber ran 13-point-freaking-one miles this morning in Sarasota, Florida.
Yup. That's 13.1. As in a half marathon.
HOLY $#!> BALLS!
How about a big Carsick Caravan round of applause for them?
With any luck, we'll get a guest posting or two from the ladies ... with photos of those enormous medals ... so the rest of us can live vicariously and share in the celebration.
It CAN be done, readers. With a good training plan, the right mindset and a "never say die" attitude, you can do it, too. You don't have to be 19 years old. Or a size 0. Or a lifelong athlete.
You just have to want it.
You have to want it more than the aches and pains want you to stop. You have to want it more than the cold/rainy/miserable training days want to prevent you from getting out there. You have to want it more than the injuries want to slow you down.
Gary Allan Fan knows all about injuries. She had knee surgery a year or two ago and still made it today. Amber works two jobs and goes to school ... and had her own fair share of pain to work around.
It's doable.
But you gotta want it.

We did it. Tougher than I ever imagined. It hasn't sunk in yet.....I'm hoping in the next few days it does.
And, I must say, they didn't look any worse for wear. The enormous smile told the whole story!
