Half Marathon FUN!

Well in preparation for training for my FULL marathon (26.2 miles) I decided to run the inagural Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon! Of course I had to enlist some of my biggest supporters to help! Terry ran, my great friend and her husband aTiffany and Brant, My brother in law Kevin (Patty was there for SUPPORT) and one of my oldest closest friends and her husband Lisa and Nic. It was a fun "adult only" Disney weekend! Terry and I had a blast at Epcot without any kids and the race was AWESOME! Disney does everything BIG and this race was no exception! The race started at 10 p.m. and I dressed as snow white! Terry and I got into corral A which was a big deal, that means we got to start 1st and not weave through all the walkers and joggers! I was really only hoping to do the race in 2:30 but much to my surprise, I finished the race in 2:15 a new Personal Record for me!! I was soooooo excited!! Terry has NEVER ran more than 6 miles in his life and he stayed with me the ENTIRE race and fisnished with me! It was a great feeling to run the race in under my estimated time and feel GREAT afterwards! The afterpart was a BLAST!! We stayed and ate and drank around Epcot (all the countries) until 4 a.m. then headed back to the hotel and crashed!! We will definitley be signing up again next year although Terry and Brant are now "retired runners!" They said they will be waiting at the finish line for us :)

September 28, 2010

Well I am starting to wonder where the STOP button is? Everyone told me that once I had a "school aged" child my days would get shorter and I would have a lot less time on my hands and boy have I figured that one out! It seems like I am doing everything I can just to keep my head above water! Between the rink, school, dance, homework, bath time, bedtime and everything in between the days are over before they even start! I must say I am really enjoying being back on a routine, I just wish it was not such a hectic routine! We have managed to fit in a trip to disney with the kids, Sept. 12-15th and that was nice and relaxing...kinda! At least we had no everyday distractions and we all got to spend full days together really enjoying each other! I think I have always taken my time with the kids for granted so much that now that it is so limited I am really appreciating every minute with them (well almost every minute)! Here are some pictures from what we were up to in September.....I cannot believe the month came and went sooooo fast!!
