why bother sitting still when there are some many other things i can do?!

so... I got my book in the mail last night that I ordered to assist me with my marathon running tentative goal.  Tentative being the key word here peeps.


Check it out, check it out!  This was recommended to me by several different people so I thought I would give it a whirl.  I haven't started actually reading just yet but looking over the program it looks very do-able.  20 weeks with the most run being 22 miles.  Surely I can pull that off.  Surely.  We shall see though.  I am trying to rope Jennifer into training with me once we are living in the same neighborhood... We will see if she goes for it! haha.  This is going to be one bumpy ride, that's for sure.  But hey, why not throw a challenge my way.  As if I do not have ENOUGH going on.  Marriage, Grad School, Moving... Adding in a marathon should be no problem.  Right?!

For those of you who do run marathons... Any tips for me?  I have done 2 half marathons now, several 5k's and a few 10k's so I am good with the whole racing circuit but 26.2 miles? Sheesh!  Any advice is welcomed!

Well we made it to Friday! YEAH! This weekend Bret and I are trucking up to Longview to spend the weekend with my folks celebrating birthdays! Yippee! My grandmother, Maw, will be turning a fun age on Saturday and so on Sunday we plan on throwing a party and celebrating with style.  It's going to be a blast!  We haven't been to Longview since Christmas so I am looking forward to going back for a weekend!

Anybody know what today is?!  Why it is mine and Bret's 2 year and 1 month anniversary!! ha.  Just kidding.  Well, not really because it really is but that isn't what I was talking about.

Today is ONE WEEK TILL CLOSING ON OUR FIRST HOME DAY!!  Why do I have the feeling this is going to be the longest week of.my.life.???? Oh well though - It will be worth it all!

Happy Friday you guys!
Have a safe and happy weekend!
Get out and make a difference

congrats on almost closing on your house!!! that's SUPER exciting!!!

and my goal (after the baby comes that is) is to do ANOTHER 1/2 marathon. after me and the mister did our first 1/2 he said "i want to do a full!" and i said "more power to you babe, i'll be there with signs cheering you on!" there's NO way i could do a full, but i SO admire those that do!!! so good luck to you, you can TOTALLY do it!!!

You are one busy girl!! Closing on your house will be so exciting next week. :) And more power to you for running a full marathon. I think Fred is thinking about a 1/2 one in December. I could walk it, but not run the entire thing.
