A Walk to Remember. (By: Jess)

I CANNOT wait until March 31, 2012.

Why?

Cause my mom, sister, and I are going to do something special. Together.

I have signed up all up for the Cooper River Bridge Run (walk) in Charleston! This is a 10K walk that I have wanted to do for years! Every March in Charleston thousands of people gather on the beautiful Cooper River Bridge and walk (or run) across it. This year...the Ogle Women are going to be apart of it! I couldn't be more excited!

But, to me, this is going to be more than just a 10k walk. Yes, walking over 6 miles is going to be a test of my fitness, but there is so much more involved than that.

I am so excited for my mom, sister, and I to work toward this goal TOGETHER.
We are going to train for this event TOGETHER.
We are going to get in shape and loose some unwanted weight TOGETHER.
We are going to keep each other in check and on track TOGETHER.
We are going to travel to Charleston and spend a weekend TOGETHER.
We will encourage each other TOGETHER.
We will celebrate reaching our goal TOGETHER.
We are going to walk 6 miles TOGETHER.
We WILL cross that finish line TOGETHER!

I will continue to keep you updated on all of our progress! So far my sister is kicking mom and I's booty's! She has already started training and has already started a walking routine! Mom and I are planning on starting soon! I guarantee you, by Christmas, we will all be getting new walking shoes from Santa!

We have 7 months and the excitement is already building and building! I think this event will be great for all of us......physically, personally, and emotionally. All (3) of us have been through lots of challenges and roadblocks over the last 7 years and (I think) have overcome all of them with grace and dignity. WHEN we accomplish this walk TOGETHER, it will only make me prouder than I already am!
