Time

Time has been flying lately. Work has taken on a life of its own. It feels great, but hectic.

The kids are so big.

Gone are the hours of introspection and blogging, now I am just lucky to string 140 characters together.

I am so behind on this blog, my other blog, the running associated with said blog.

I have another half marathon in September, so I will start officially training for it in June.

The not so lazy days of summer await.

She's Back!

Tom left for work super early, so I got up with the kids for the I'm scared visits and Charlie's just becuase I'm cute visits and I still got up with Tom to shower and make breakfast. The extra 45 minutes I could have gotten was not worth missing this quiet time to have a cup of coffee, a vitamuffin top, and write a little.

As you can see from http://thismommyruns.blogspot.com/, I ran and completed my first half marathon. I have been able to keep my weight steady, a few pounds more than I would like (about 3 lbs) but I am still running about 10-12 miles a week for fun, doing pilates and enjoying running when I want to rather than when I am supposed.

That said I am eager to start up again with TNT. I miss the structure and I really do respond well to a coaching environment. I think once I get these next few races under my belt I will feel more confident that this running phase is not just a passing fad for me. I have had so many of those, but rather a lifestyle change.

My doorman Tony said to me the other day when seeing me returning from a pre-dawn run, "I thought you were done with the training?" Without thinking I responded, "I am, this is just for fun and for life."

Progress.

Summer Vacation

I am going to focus the little time I have for blogging on http://thismommyruns.blogspot.com/ until I complete the race.

Not that I was ever prolific and not to say that if I feel like puking out some emotional diatribe, I won't post.

Have a great summer!

Run, Jenny, Run

On October 2nd, I will run and complete the The Hampton's Half Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. I believe that there is no physical or emotional way I could reach this goal with out the expert training and community of support created by Team in Training and I am deeply thankful for this opportunity.

I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. So many people in our lives have been touched by cancer of all kinds. Team in Training is allowing me to keep a committment to be healthy for my boys and myself while also taking part in a community committed to a cure.

All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. We need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
