13 Weeks and 3 Days

No, I'm not 13 weeks and 3 days pregnant.  Still adjusting to having 1 baby people!  13 weeks and 3 days until Dan and I participate in the White Rock Half Marathon on December 9.  We are very excited/nervous about this goal we have set out achieve.

Are we crazy? I can only speak for myself and some might say that I actually am a little crazy in everyday life but I do feel a little crazy for signing up for this!  Running has never been my thing.  I do enjoy a good workout but it has never been running.  Dan and I ran a bunch of 5k's when we first got married but that has been the extent of my running career until now.  I have many friends that are runners and they all say that it becomes addicting after you get into it.  Well...I'm not to that point yet, but I am almost 4 weeks into training and I feel really good.  Dan and I just juggle our schedules to trade off running and taking care of Little C.  I have tried running with her in our jogging stroller and holy cow that was hard.  Our house isn't really in a neighborhood but we do have a lot of areas to run.  Really hilly areas, but I'm sure that will help us in the long run (no pun intended).  :)  Luckily it's not high traffic so we feel safe running here and we enjoy the scenery as we run.  Running a half marathon has been a goal of mine forever and now is a better time than any to do this.  I know that December will be here before we know it!  Hopefully I will be able to cross something off of my bucket list!  (A half marathon is actually the only thing on it...I should really be more creative and add to it!)
