Catching up- a new start!



A lot has happened since I last wrote. I found out about a month after that post that I was pregnant!! Definitely wasn't expecting it. I was in the best shape I had been in in a long time. I was excited to be pregnant, but honestly a little bummed to stop training with Jeff. He had a great training cycle with our group and I just kept running slowly. I will give more details about the training and race later, but I wanted to jot some things down right now. First of all, I am so, so proud of Jeff! Even though I pictured running my first marathon with him, it was enjoyable to cheer him on. I hope he will do another one with me. :-) I was lucky enough to run the first 8 miles with my favorite running partner, Sarah. Oh, how I have missed her!

I am going to have a baby in 11 days. I am so excited! I have always joked that I get faster after each baby, but so far it has been true. So, Boston here I come. I am committing to do what I need to do to be healthy and reach my goal.

1. Eat healthy- as little sugar as possible. Whole foods if possible. Lots of fruits and veggies.
2. Get more sleep. No more getting sucked into the internet at night.
3. Don't spread myself too thin. Focus is my baby and family and my goals. :-)

Boston 2014!! Is it a possibility? We will see... My goal marathon will be 6 months after I have the baby so we will see what happens. I know what my body needs to be healthy. I am aiming for April 8th as my first run. I will report back how it goes.
