7 Weeks

I can't believe it is already March...however I am thrilled about this in the concept of better weather and Spring coming our way. However, it does freak me out in the fact that it means that in 7 weeks Mom and I will be running our 1/2 Marathon for the year. We told ourselves this year we were gonna really train for it.  I think we tell ourselves that every year.

Well, I started off great. James and I were running a mile a couple of times a week. Then the weather got bad, he got sick, I got sick, Mom went on Vacation and from there on things just kind of fell apart.

Last week she and I started to try and get on a schedule for training. Its really hard with work schedules, dogs, weather and everything to get all set but we are trying. We got in some miles last week which is really important. We haven't really been running much...but I think the longevity is important right now. We said last week regardless of if we run or walk we gotta go 13.1 miles...so right now we are preparing for that.

Every year when its still cold and we start talking about training it is really hard to get motivated. But every year we stand in our corral waiting to start the race I am in awe of the experience. It is amazing and I am so thankful my body allows me to complete the race and I am extremely thankful my Mom is by my side. I don't think, actually I know I couldn't do it without her.

13.1 I will see you very soon!!!!
