Half Marathon

I did it. I ran my first race ever!! My sister, Melinda, Kasey and I all ran in Charloviox, MI. We were a little disappointed that the race scenary wasn't prettier but what can you do. Everyone did great. I was disappointed with the last 3 miles of the race but I have to remember that I finished it. I don't think that I will be doing a marathon anytime soon but we are already planning our next run. I think that my sister and I will either run the race in holland or lansing. We have to chat about it.

Lack of Blogging

I have been so busy this summer that I have forgotten to blog. Lincoln amazes me everyday. He is such a copy cat. He loves to mimic what Rob is doing. For example Rob was pulling out weeds in his garden and Lincoln was helping by pulling out the lettace. It was so cute and Rob was so patient with him. We have also taken his binkie away from him. It was a rough two days but each day gets better. He is going down for his naps like a champ and night time is a different thing. But, he is not waking up in the middle of the night and crying because he can't find it!

My big news is that I have been running. I did my first 10 mile run 2 weeks ago and it felt so good. When I first started running 2 months ago I could not imagine even running 5 miles. Now, I hate doing short runs. I look forward to Sundays because that is my long run day. I am not a fast runner by any means but I get my miles done. To be exact I am running between 10-11:30 minute miles according to my nike plus.

I am considering signing up for the detroit marathon. I just don't know if I want to be commited to training for it. But, I know about 10 girls that are doing it. We will see how charleviox goes.

My first half-marathon is in less than 2 weeks!! I am starting to get a little nervous.
