The one with Carmen Electra?? I've been wanting to try that because I hear it's great for your lower body.

I'm running a race this weekend- 9.3 miles! I've been training for it since April. It's a HUGE deal in the area. Actually it's the largest 15K race in the country- it's called the Boilermaker Road Race. I think there are around 10,700 people running this year's race. The entire course is lined with thousands and thousands of spectators. They also have a competition between the sections of the city (North, South, East, and West) to see who has the best block party (cheering section) throughout the race. I'm so psyched to run it!! After that, I'm going to begin training for a half-marathon. Hey, it's only 4 more miles, right?! I've been slacking with my running since I got Olivia a month ago, but I'm going to step it up a bit after the race. My sister is determined that we're going to do the marathon in Disney World in 2006. (Since it's in like January, I think, I highly doubt it, though!)
