...or "A Post About Running"
If you are a stranger to these parts (first off, welcome.welcome.) let me start by saying, sleep is not happening in this house. If Clare is having a miracle stretch of sleep for longer than 2 hours, then Damian is waking up. If Damian is sleeping like the good boy he used to be, then Clare is all like HELLNO will I sleep.
It's a mess. I suggest you buy stock in Starbucks.
What does this have to do about running??
Well I may have signed up for my 4th marathon. In December. (That's in 4 months for those of you not counting down to Christmas. What? Only me?)
If you've ever been active before, and by active I mean "Do you chew your food??" you know how important sleep is.
Part of me is very excited to tackle the marathon yet again. Every time I've run a marathon, I've been injured or sick. I would love to get out there healthy and well-trained and see what I can do.
However, part of me is very worry this won't happen because I haven't been running as much as I would like and that's mostly because I can't seem to find the time or energy. I'm hoping as it gets cooler I will be able to take the kids with me more (never thought I'd say that.) Now that's I've actually signed up though I'm feeling more motivated. Sooo shall we say the runner in me is back?? Let's hope! (Otherwise it's going to be a long 26.2 miles...)
If anyone else is interested... You should sign up for the Kiawah marathon and come run with me! There's also a half marathon too.
GO GIRL GO! I haven't blogged about running in a while, but Will is TDY the weekend of the Air Force Marathon, so we had to nix it. I'm not that upset, to be honest, because i would have been undertrained. If money was no object, I would totally try and run this with you! But you are awesome for doing this and you have my full blog-cheerleader support! WOO!
ReplyDeleteRandom aside, an ad pops up in the word verification box when I try to comment, just FYI. It makes it really hard to comment because I have to listen to the numbers rather than just see them! Thought I would let you know!
Ok... I just typed a long response to you one handed while nursing Clare and then it didn't post. So clearly the comment section is having some issues... I've been meaning to change it for awhile now so I think this will push me to get on that. Sorry for the problems and thanks for letting me know!!
DeleteAnd yea... money... I had "committed" to doing this race a while ago but kept putting off signing up for it. When I finally did and saw how much registration had gone up to I cried a bit on the inside... UGH I guess that's what I get for procrastinating! As Nate said "It sure does cost a lot to torture yourself." So sad, so true.
And thanks for being my cheerleader! I'm SOO going to need it! Maybe sometime soon we can run one together!
