After Henri was born there was always an excuse to not go: a hard recovery and being tired, having a sick baby and being tired, having a long night and being tired, stormy weather and being tired, moving to Houston and being tired. It mostly had/has to do with being tired.
Henri is now five months and I am only a little closer to my goal. I feel like I am at the point in my life where I decide to either be healthy and active... or not. This is now the end of the road for all of the excuses (or the beginning of the road for running!) We are settled in Houston, I have my Brooks, my jogging stroller, my "Zero to Half" edition of "Runner's World" and I am ready to go. So, I will update you on my progress.
Your job, dear reader, is to tell me how awesome I am doing, and that I can do it!
P.S. Are you wondering about why I would post this at such an unearthly hour of the day? It is because I was up a lot of the night with a crying baby! But, I will persevere and post again a little later and tell you about today's run.
Hey Em!
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome. I am impressed with your dedication to running. It can definitely be hard to train when you are super busy and always have things that come up and try and distract you. I'm sure you will make it, and it is always a great feeling when you accomplish a goal that takes months to work towards like a hald marathon.
Keep running!
Jason
Emily,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jason, you are awesome. that is a great goal to start running. You will find you feel so much better. For me the hardest part is getting out the door. Do you have a friend that might want to run with you. Social running is often so much easier. Keep us posted on all of your efforts. Here is a big cheer from Farmington. Go Emily!!!
