I'm doing it - I'm signing up for a half marathon in March (and this weekend's thoughts...

OMFG, what am I thinking?  That's pretty much all I have for this Monday, folks.  Can this be my real life?  The training program I found seems pretty doable, and at least I can keep up with kettlebells twice a week for cross training.  I need new goals, and I think this is a really good time for me to start training for something like this with the holidays coming up.  I'm psyched because I can combine it with a work trip to NYC, so my travel is covered, and I will be running for my boss' charity. 

I really cannot believe that a year ago I was on clear liquids, unable to hold my baby bc of post-surgery lifting restrictions, exhausted but so anxious for my "new" life to begin.  I went to the pumpkin patch with my Bean and my hubby, and there are no photos of me because I felt so awful about how I looked.  This weekend was a totally different experience.  It was what last year should have been like.  And to top that off I'm confronting my fears and signing up for a half marathon.  And I'm going to do it.  I'm going to train, and I'm going to run that ******  I will NOT let doubt and fear keep me from anything.  I believe in me, and I can and will do this.  This last year has brought so many changes in my life, and I'm so unbelievably thankful for my life, my health, my family, everything.  I'm nearly bursting with gratitude.  I don't want to waste another second thinking I can't do something, thinking I'm not worth it, being miserable.

My beautiful family

You go girl!  The run the HELL out of that thing!  I wanted to do the color run but I chickened out and totally didn't train for it.  Now I'm like hmmm maybe I will try mudderella?  LOL haha I have jokes

Hmmm this is promising! I will be in New York next March from 18-25! Will I actually get to meet you and cheer you on??? AND get my hug????? This could be epic if the dates match!

I would love to meet up when you are in NYC in march.  We should try to make an east coast meet up happen.

Absolutely!

The run is on March 16, maybe I can come in the day before (Saturday) and then stay a couple days into the week so we can meet up.  Yay!

I can come in on the Saturday also. I start work on the Monday. So it works. It's a plan! Can't wait!!!!!
