Running

So, I'm still running and getting ready for the Columbus Marathon (I'm only doing the 1/2 marathon=13.1 miles) on Oct. 16th. I'm getting pretty excited about it but also nervous. I was looking at the miles I've put on my shoes since I've had them...about 315 miles. I was curious as to how far that would have gotten me so I mapped it - a 315 mile radius from Hilliard.



Not quite as far as I'd like but not bad. Running shoes typically are only good for 350-550 miles (depending on how you run) so mine are on the downswing. I'd guess mine will make it to the end of the year.
Running has given me a lot of physical confidence and I love it. It's also made my body hurt in ways that suck (and would probably go away if I got the right training). I'll grind through this 1/2 and then try to get the training so it doesn't hurt so bad!

Words of the Week...

Silas -as we turned the music on the other night - "let's rock out"

Silas -this morning when I went in to get him out of bed and I asked him how he was - he said "I sleep tight"

Ella - last night at dinner we had black eyed peas. I cooked them wrong and they were gross. She said "yuck, I don't like those Eye Ball beans!"

Mommy says - "son of a #$!@# OUCH!" I got braces on today - and man does it suck!!! Don't expect to see me out for the next 6-8 months! If you are lucky, Justin will take a picture so you can see how dorky I look ;-)

Mason said - "ha, ha Mom, you look like a Geek." To which I was happy to tell him that he'll be getting HIS on by this summer!!
