I thought I would post what I have been up to lately... Not a whole lot really... Just the usual stuff like laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc. I love being a mom & wife and taking care of the girls and TJ but I need a break everyday:) Although that break comes before the little ones or even the big one wakes up, it's still a break. I LOVE going to the gym! Yes I'm there at 5:00 A.M. but it really is the only time that works for our family. I'm lucky enough to go with my workout girls Holly and Brittany. It makes it so much more fun with them, especially at five. I have been running Monday-Saturday since the new gym in Syracuse opened up. I really enjoy running. I have found something that I'm passionate about and I think I'm fairly good at. I love running because it all depends on me no one else. I can run as fast or as slow as I want and it doesn't hurt a soul. I can challenge myself every time I set my foot on the tread mill or road.
Back in October I tried signing up for the Ogden half marathon but it filled up within two hours! I was so sad. My old boss is on the Goal foundation and said that she could possibly get me a spot but that I would have to wait until march to see if I would get one. I really wanted to run a half Marathon soon and so I signed up for the Salt Lake half. Well my boss got back to me a few weeks ago and guess what? I got a SPOT! I'm totally thrilled! Not only did she get me a spot, she got a spot for three of my sister's also. She totally rocks! So I will be running two half marathons four weeks apart. On top of getting me a spot to the half she gave me a free spot in the strider's circuit races. There are five races in a three month period 5K, 10K, 10 miler, half marathon, 18 miler. They hold the first three up in Ogden by the Dee Events Center. I have already run the first three and they were pretty hard. The 10 miler was brutal! It had never ending hills. I made it threw though! Well enough about running... I will post how the SLC half goes. I have four weeks until then. I got a Sweet GPS watch for Valentine's day and I really enjoy it. I also recently got a new pair of shoes... I love all new running gear. I hardly buy any clothes unless they are for working out in.
