It's running time!

It has been a bit since our last post. I'll summarize why:
-Summer softball league
-Vacation to Disney World
-RUNNING
-Roadtrip to a Virginia family reunion
-School started full time for Janey--meaning Rob has to cook dinner 2 nights a week
-RUNNING
-Rob working full time and committing to be a complete commuter/Janey working part time
-Training to be a PAWS volunteer
-RUNNING






So there you go! Life has been a bit hectic, to say the least, but we welcome all of the opportunities and challenges that have come our way as of late. I think it's safe to say that we look forward to the time when life seems a bit more routine but then again, the energy surrounding the unknown is always fun too!

Rob, and my feet, will be especially happy to cross one item off the list above--RUNNING! I have truly developed into the runner that I never thought I could be and I must thank Debbie for that! Without her crazy idea and long distance support and encouragement, I think I might view running 13.1 miles as more of a death sentence than a fun reason to vacation.

My running confidence is high and I plan to continue running throughout the fall, winter and spring and revisit a race or two, starting with the Shamrock Shuffle in March. (Don't tell anyone, but I am also flirting with the idea of running the Chicago marathon next October...we shall see!)



So there it is! The race is 3 days away and while I feel the anxiousness creep over me as I type that small number, I can't help but be excited and proud. Thanks also to Rob for all of his love and support (this is starting to sound like a cheesy award acceptance speech) and bestowing lots of high-end running gear gifts on me. He's the best and I promise to never make him run a half or full marathon with me (not to say that I wouldn't encourage him though...)

See you at the finish line! :)
