I've been in a blogging funk. Just don't have much to say these days. Trying to get back into training mode, time is running out!
I am beyond excited about the marathon. Wow. Come October, I'll be a marathoner!
Thanks Mandy for the compliments on my kids. I think they are cute too, but then again, I'm biased. lol.
Best part, they are wonderful people. They make me laugh, even when I'm feeling blue. They know when I need a hug, a kiss, or an "I love you". Unconditional love. I can't imagine my life without them, they make me a better woman every day, simply by being a part of my life.

99 days and counting...
There are only 99 days left until the Chicago Marathon!!!!
How exciting! I was in Chicago this week for a training class. I went downtown on Thursday and walked along some of the streets that are on the marathon route. I tried to imagine what it'll be like to see the streets lined up with millions of people. It was so exciting! I can't wait to go back, Chicago is one of my favorite cities.
The trip wasn't without highlights. We had our shares of mishaps but it's all part of traveling. We flew Delta and had a connection in Atlanta. It was storming when we arrived in Atlanta on the way back. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 9:30 PM. We finally boarded the plane at 2 AM. I crawled in bed at 4 AM and slept 2.5 hrs before the twins woke up.
That's one thing I dislike about traveling. I'm just glad to be home.
Missed this morning. Going to do the 8 miles in the morning before church. I was up a few times with the boys, I guess now that I'm home they missed me. When the alarm went off at 4 am, I just couldn't bring myself to get out of bed. I hate I missed everyone.
I really need to get back on schedule. Time is winding down. I find that as we get closer, I am already thinking about "the next one". I know I want to run Chicago at least once more, and then maybe Marine Corps, New Orleans, Hawaii?
99 days, and we will be crossing that finish line. 99 days...

Great party!
My husband and I had a great time at the party. Although I have to confess I was a bit jealous because all of you had accomplished something so awesome. You are half marathoners!!! Way to go! It was great to see all of you smiling and happy, and so proud of yourselves.
I wish I had been a part of it but I decided to wait and get better before going such long distance. I don't want this to turn into something worse, and then have to sit out even longer.
I still have some congestion and a pesky cough that just started. Did I mention I can't hear out of my left ear? yeah, I just hope my ears don't burst tomorrow on my flight to the Windy City. We are not staying downtown (bummer) because the class is in Des Plaines. I hope we get a chance to make it to downtown Chicago though.
Have a great training week everyone. I'm going to get on the treadmill at the hotel and see how it goes. I want to be ready for our 7.5 miles on Saturday.
I'm so proud of all of you, you are Marathoners!!!
