Race and Places

When I started this blog a year and a half ago, it served a couple purposes: 1) to keep family updated on us, the kids, etc. especially since no one from my side of the family lives close by (*tear*), and 2) to keep people updated and myself motivated on my running and racing happenings. Lately I'm feeling like #2 went by the way-side...but never fear! Running is slowly but surely making it's way back into my life, now that Baby doesn't need to nurse every hour or so (not exaggerating) and I can steal a half hour here and there when Hubby is home!

I had the joyous opportunity to get a 3-miler in on Sunday and then, since the car apparently needs a new radiator (grrr), I dropped it off yesterday and ran the 2.5 miles home pushing the kiddos in the stroller. Yippee! Actually, the Monday run ended up containing more walk than run, and it also involved me cutting through a farm field to get home quicker. You try pushing 70+ pounds uphill, with a screaming, irritated little boy in the stroller. Not cool.

Anywho, I'm trying to plan out what races I want to tackle this year, and so far it's looking like:

1) Garden Spot Village Marathon (the relay...not the whole thing) :o)

2) Red Rose Run (5-miler)

3) Blue Ball 5-Mile Run (Yeah, I know...it's the town name, so get over it!)

I want to add maybe one more 5K, but I haven't decided which one yet. Also, all of these races will hopefully lead up to one big, EXCITING race...the Disney World Marathon in January 2010! My friend Sarah and I so badly want to run Disney that we are almost willing to beg, borrow, and steal to get there. Once we convince our husbands of this need, we are golden! :o)
