WOW it's been a while since I posted. My uncle died 2 days after that post, once we got through the funeral and all my daughter started preschool again. Then we went on a little trip. I have been running about 1 5miles a week, except the week we were on vacation. We walked SOOOO much that week that I think I was fine to skip running. I was also carrying 40 lbs of child atleast half the time I was walking on that vacation.

I realized Tonight I have 12 weeks to go until the 1/2 marathon and my training was supposed to be 17 weeks. I forgot to start official training! I have skipped 2 or 3 of the first weeks and I am skipping next weeks run, b/c it's very small. I am jumping to the 5 th week where my long run is 6.5. I ran 5.25 straight tonight, so surely somehow I can manage...even if I have to walk a bit.

I don't really know about my weight. I stopped weighing. It drives me CRAZY...so it is better that I watch what I eat, yet eat enough to be able to run...and hope when I finish I weigh less than 120. I bought a new running outfit tonight. The running skirt is an XS so hopefully something is working.

Tuesday I start running outside. I hope I can do it. I will be pushing a jogging stroller, too which will be challenging for me. My husband is convinced if I will press on and run with a jogging stroller when I run without I will be stronger. I think if I live through pushing the jogging stroller. I will only do it on cross train days or shorter runs.

That is the news.
