Catching Up!

So it's been a while since I've posted. Since the last post, I spent a week in Delaware with my kids and my mom. We had a great time, and I got to run in a flat state... yay! It was HOT and I found myself running at night after the kids were in bed. I could even do long runs because it is safe to run on Rt. 1 which is a well-lit major road with a running path in between the road and the beach!!!

I'm pretty Type A. So when I missed a run because I had to spend 8 hours driving across 4 states, I combined a few runs the next night so I didn't miss my workouts for that week. I did the same last week when I was crazy busy with Vacation Bible School and the kids' swim lessons. And I'm planning to combine workouts this week, too. I hope that's ok. I'm just finding it's hard to consistently run EVERY day and other things take priority. So the next day I make up for lost time. :-O

A friend lent me a great book called Run Like a Mother - I couldn't put it down!

So I'm 4 weeks into my training and it's going well. I opened up my long run schedule to the Ragnar group and a few of us have been meeting weekly to run together. They keep me accountable to my goals, and it's awesome! I've come to truly enjoy the long runs we do together early Sunday mornings. Then I have the rest of the day for church and family fun. It's a good thing.
