Running along

In an effort to try, yet again to add more to this sorely neglected blog, I am attempting not to try to turn into a running log/blog.

So Saturday, I had my long run. Well I am both happy and sad to report that it was only 3.5 miles. I am quickly approaching my race on Thanksgiving and am nowhere near the 5 that I need to have under my belt for that race. Henry say that I still have time to make it, but I am doubtful. I seem to never have time enough to get out. Today I am going to ask mother-in-law to watch the kids so I can put in my three miles. Then I will have to run tomorrow and Thursday mornings, as well, since those are the only times that all the kids are in school.

Henry is doing really well in his goal of his marathon in February. I am really proud of him. I seriously doubt that I will ever accomplish that feat. My biggie will be the Applefest half marathon next September. Although we will see about that!

I am very glad that I have both his and Amanda's support in encouraging me to just keep running. I know that Amanda will be up and running soon after the birth of number three. I think she might even run another marathon next year or maybe we can run a half together. That would be so much fun. I never in all my years thought that I would like to run so much, but when I lace up my shoes and pop in my ear buds, I get so excited. It really sounds corny, but it is so exhilarating to see how far you can push yourself. I can't wait until I can get out today.
