Marathon in Jordan?

As Diana and I were hiking through the Dana Nature Reserve, we were chit-chatting about how we both really wanted to get back in shape and train for something. One thing lead to another, and suddenly we were totally lost on the trail, but brainstorming for a marathon we could run together. We decided it would be great to raise money for our projects in Yemen that we weren't able to continue with, raise awareness about the lovely time we had in Yemen, and get in shape!

December 5th we are going to attempt the Aqaba Red Sea Marathon. The planning and course looks pretty basic, but we are excited to work on this project together and maybe give back to our Yemeni friends who helped us, especially when we were really there to help them!

We will update you more when we get more organized.... wanna come join us for the race? Or just cheer us on? You can see Petra while you are here!
