Hope everyone that might read this is just as busy and it is like new years before you are even checking in on my wandering words.
So with that possibility in mind..I am only going to say....
My little angel is great and asking for everything that comes on between Dora(that is DVR'd, which means she asks for the SAME things over and over)!! So ready for Santa and in general lots of fun
Hubby is trying to do his level best at decreasing the delta's duck population and if time is any indicator....WATCH out ducks! Woe! he is hunting LOTS, but he is happy and he checks in and makes it a point to get home and see us, so I can't complain. If he was home..I would like be neglecting him with all my 'have tos'! Chirstmas gets busier and busier and less and less appealing as I age....oh AgE !!! nasty littel word!
ME, well so glad that you asked....I just committed to train for and run a half marathon on FEBRUARY 13th....yep, you heard it right! I am going to run 13.1 miles!!!! I have been saying that I would like to do that and my running buddy asked the question and made me put my money where my mouth is...see I had been planning to do this like...say...NEXT year. and well, guess what....2011 is NEXT year. So New Orleans Rock and Roll Half Marathon....here we come. Lots of miles to put in between now and then. But certainly I am nervous and excited all the same. Plus a weekend trip with hubby isn't ever a bad idea! I hope to complete in less than 3 hours but no matter the time...crossing the finish line will feel great!!! Looking forward to it.
OH and did I mention lots of upcoming travel, like 3 3-4 day trips in the next 8 weeks along with all this running and yea, my full time job! So you guessed it....those of you that know about running or just about not having time to get it all done...there are LOTS of EARLY morning runs coming up for me! But I am looking forward to it....
Putting it out there so I am now even more accountable to make it happen!
Hope santa is good to you and always remember...the reason for the season!
love to all
Hi Jenn, thanks for the comment! In answer to your question, I didn't use anything for my second half except water and gatorade. I was too afraid to get sick. I did drink a protein shake immediately after, tho.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the New Orleans RnR! The first half is always scary but the sense of accomplishment afterwards is awesome. :-) My friend and I were deciding between that and Savannah for our first full marathon. I think we picked Savannah because we have a lot more time to prepare (it's in Nov.)
