what an amazing week!!

Sunday, February 12, 2012

It's going to be 3 months til my 9th half marathon! I am so excited!! I talked my husband into running with me, and now he's addicted too!!! We have ran 3 halfs together!! It's not always easy to find the time and energy getting my runs in, with having 4 kids, but I am so fortunate to have a wonderful husband who is supportive, and training with me... we take turns getting our runs in, and have amazing parents who babysit for us so that we can run 2x a week together!! This week we ran in -40 C, but when you are dressed properly, you honestly don't feel the cold. We ran in total of 28km this week!! I had friends over last night, I made a healthy salsa... and treated myself to some food, but did not over indulge, didn't overflow my plate, where in the past I would say what the hell, I ran today I will eat whatever I want!!
I am Thankful for a day off today, spending time with family... and back at it on Monday!!

    That's fabulous! I'm really jealous. I would really like to better prepare myself for a marathon, but can't find a good place to run. I do a pretty intensive walk with my daughter everyday, but my neighborhood has some pretty big hills, so my daughter and the stroller just make it too difficult for me to run. Maybe one day... Keep up the fantastic work and good luck to you both in your future marathons!

    Wow!!! That's great!!! I'm trying to train for my first half, but at east my husband will watch our daughter while I run... He used to run, but his knees bother him so he gae it up....
