2012

I have seen that a lot of people choose a word as their focus for the year.  I am hoping to bookend 2012 with my first half and my first full marathons. I chose Run, because it is my current focus.  It also pairs nicely with my work word of the year Challenge.  I figured that not only will running encompass much of my year but that I will be reminded to run headlong into any challenges that come my way.  Also for my mother hopefully I will run back to blogging on a more consistent basis. 

4 days, 6 posts!

Two of them are over at the training blog but they still count.  The 1/2 marathon page will be a group blog so if anyone wants to join in let me know.

I will be spending the afternoon with the Cowans before they return to California.

On Our Way To 13.1

Is now live!  I started a new blog to track our progress for the 1/2 marathon.  If you would like to join us just let me know! The more the merrier.

3 for 3

I have what may possibly be the most boring post ever. I am currently enjoying the view from my couch as I try to get over a cold. I felt so bad yesterday I found someone to cover for me at work today so I didn't even have to move.

I obviously didn't get to run today, sitting up is enough of a challenge. Well I am off for a nap, I may try to get the training blog up and running today. (HAHAHA)

Just to add to the randomness of this post some congratulations are in order. Congrats to the Alaburdas, Maury and Jake. Both of them got engaged this holiday season, to some of the loveliest people around. I just cannot wait to meet Jamie. We already totally adore JD and are excited it will finally be official that he is a part of the family.

January 2, 2010

I have no fun title for today. I think I may try to post every day, or at least more often than in 2009. I realized I had only posted a handful of times last year, and know that my family checks in to see how we are doing. For mama and Maury, I promise to be better this year.

Running: I had every intention of getting up this morning and starting to run. I however woke up with a cold and breathing is enough trouble without throwing in the cardio. I am kind of sad because I was really excited to try out my new shoes.

Happy New Year

I am trying to start off the New Year by blogging. We had a great NYE bowling with the Cowans. Aubs and Michaela both got their first strikes one frame apart.

I am going to try to blog better in 2010.

I have set another goal to run a 1/2 marathon in October. I think I will start a blog for this but for the time being I may track my progress here. I want it to be a shared blog because some others would like to run/walk the same event. That way we can be a support to each other. My first update to the 1/2 marathon goal is I bought new running shoes. My feet have changed sizes and my favorite Nikes are so big they hurt my feet. I now have a new pair of white, pink, and silver Nikes. They are Nike+ enabled so I may borrow Shawn's ipod and chip on the day of the race to have an accurate pacing.

I know it is a little late but here is one of Aubs' Santa pictures. I did them myself this year. Our local mall allows parents to use their own cameras if they donate to the Ronald McDonald house.
