I registered for the Marathon!!! Watch out Chicago, here I come!!
I had been "procrastinating", I guess I just wasn't sure if I was going to do it. Life keeps getting in the way and sometimes I start to doubt myself.
But I am going to do this. By this time next year, I'll be telling everyone, "a year ago, I was training for my first marathon..."
So it is done!
Ready for bed, this is going to be a crazy week. Spent the day in Collins, got back in the office and got a call that Braden had a fever. Not exactly a fever if it's 99 F and he has been outside. Besides he is teething. I did managed to get some things done before I picked them up. Husband called that he had to work late. So I didn't get my walk done. Mad about that, but what can you do ? I knew the boys weren't up to being outside (mom can tell), the pollen is giving them a hard time.
So I guess I'll do my run tomorrow instead of XT. I have 2 meetings, and then Thursday and Friday mornings, I'm judging the MS Science and Engineering Fair at Jackson State. That should be fun, I'm looking forward to it

The clock is ticking...
I have a countdown clock in my Google homepage for the marathon. Today is says there are 201 days left!!! It seems like a long time, but before we know it, we'll be in Chicago. wow.
Yesterday was my day off. I work a schedule that allows me 2 Mondays off per month. Except lately, I haven't been able to take the time off. It seems every time one of my days off comes around I'm either going out of town, or having to come in the office.
Yesterday was the later, I stayed for a few hrs and then ran some errands.
After I got home, my husband and kids went with me to the track at the HS. I got 33 min (used my handy dandy timex watch) of wogging before the boys started to get restless. It was getting dark too so we headed home. But I did run half of that time!!! I figured out a few things too, I need to do more stretching. My legs started to hurt, so I stopped and stretched, and voila, the pain was gone! Apparently the stretching I've been doing was not enough.
Most importantly, I figured out that I'm not as slow as I thought I was!
