Marathon

Since July we have been planning to run a marathon.  It sounded like a good idea, 3 weeks after I had Will.  Once I fully healed and started running it sounded like a crazy idea.  It was!  For months I ran around the neighborhood with a double joggin stroller hauling my 2 impatient and mostly screaming kids.  Never did they have the patience for more than 3 miles, which at my slow pace was about thirty minutes.  Last Sunday we managed to get out to Huntington Beach for the Surf City marathon and ran, 13.1 miles, crossing the finish line in 3 hours 25 minutes.  I still to this day dont know how my body managed to make it.  Now, a week later we are looking forward to another in September.  Now I know Im crazy.  I hate running yet I love marathons! 

Training

Today is only 9 days away from our first half marathon.  Am I ready?  No!  But is anyone really ready to try to run 13 miles?!  My only goal is to finish this one.  That I know I can do!  I am so excited to do something I know I will forever be proud of! 

The New Year

As a family we have so many goal for the new year.  2010 will bring us great things if we can attain all our goals.  Some of which are to be out of debt, save for a house, loose weight and finish a half marathon.  The first of which will be the marathon, to be done Feb 7.  Andy and I have individual goals too of course.  I hope to loose another 10 pounds he hopes to get a promotion.  This year will bring great things for our family.  In 2010 Will will turn 1, Emily will turn 3 and will start preschool.  It will be a great year as far as I can tell, and Im excited.  Welcome 2010, this is OUR year!
