Mom on the run is back!

I’m back from a blogging hiatus – I have lots of mojo and lots of things to write about. (Really I do).

First off I wanna tell you about this year’s running GOALS! I’m currently training for the Chilly Half Marathon – not just to finish it this time – but to PR it! My previous PR from like 8 years ago on that course is 2:01, but I’ve been running faster and stronger these past few months, so this time I’m gonna CRUSH 2 hours. Training is going well despite the cold weather, because I have this KICK ASS pony tail hat from the Running Room:

A little update on the kiddos…. They’re growing (big surprise). Sierra is now 6.5 and loving grade 1, Brooke is 4.5 and likes Jr. Kindergarten, but isn’t happy that she only goes every other day and Amber is almost 15 months old – cute as a button and happy as a clam (as a third child I guess she has no choice).

Time sure flies folks, doesn’t it?

FTC – I bought the hat on my own because I LOVE it and no one has paid me to blog about it, so suck it.

Let The Half Marathon Training Begin…Again.

In January of this year I whipped out my credit card and registered for a few races this year.  I vowed to myself that THIS YEAR would be THE YEAR that I finally returned to running.  Like really running… Running as often as I did BEFORE kids.  So my race registrations included TWO half marathons…
