Has it really been 60 days since I committed myself to run this marathon? Time flies! It's a good thing I'm better at training than I am at keeping up with this blog! But, hey, it's still fun to blog about this adventure and will be fun to read back after the race ( Read more... )

In my last entry, I put that I was finding it difficult to train with everything else I'm doing in my life. That along with the fact that I was having issues with side cramps, I went a couple weeks without doing many runs. During that time I still went to the gym and I signed up for 10 Pilates Reformer classes that I'm taking, which I find quite ( Read more... )

I'm into my second week of training and I'm starting to learn a few things ( Read more... )

So I meant to post after my first day of training, but I didn't get a chance to, so I'll add it here ( Read more... )

I also posted these on FB, so if you saw those, these are the same ones. I tried cloth diapers on him today and they're so big I think he looks like a sumo wrestler in them minus the added weight ( Read more... )

There's a lot of things that I wait for in life.....work to be over, the next time I'll see my family, a crappy day to be over, or a fun day to start.....but there's few things more exciting or anxious (a good anxious) to wait for than the birth of a baby ( Read more... )

Well today I'm 37 weeks pregnant, which is considered full term, even though it's still three weeks from my due date. Basically, if Luke was born from this point forward, all his organs and body parts would be basically fully formed and able to function on their own. I like when I hit this point in pregnancy, because then I don't have to worry ( Read more... )

Flies. Period. There's no month that seems to go by slowly, and this month is no exception. I can't believe it's already the middle of December, but it's been such an exciting month so far ( Read more... )
