Wind outta my sails

Can I just say I was so excited/nervous when I pressed the button to apply for the Nike Women's Marathon.  And when we found out that we did not make it I was so heart broken.  I have gone back to my sluggish ways! Cassandra and I teach so we are not able to travel, especially in late summer early fall.  I need to get my lazy butt back out there! I need motivation...a goal.

Conclusions?

Girls have we come any closer to deciding where it shall be? I had a bummer, I fell down the steps outside our house, cracked a rib and twisted my knee pretty good! Definitely no running this week, hopefully by next week! 

Well...

I say NYC or the marine corps. marathon in DC. They are both in october or september, I forget. Here are some pics of my morning runs in Hawaii this past week. Talk about making running fun!

Not Selected

Wells girls...we didn't make it.

I know we originally intended to do all this great running with the idea of a marathon at the end, but we need to look at some other options...I still think we should totally keep going on our running until we figure out something else.

Post some ideas here when you get a chance...

Ok, I have granted you each with Admin privileges of this blog...I also have an area on our side bar for miles logged...I would love to see how many miles we run all together this summer. Please update miles as you go...Let me know if you have any questions.

Yay! Our little blog is back online! This makes me oh so happy..I kept waiting for an email from Blogger saying we were ok...oh well, I'm excited to be back online.

Alyss, I think it is great that you are starting out running...I am pretty much doing the same thing...though I am trying really hard not to over do it. I threw my back out this week so I have kinda taken a week off.

I would love if Cassandra would like to join the blog too...I would love to get to know her better too...if she wants to, just send me her email and I will invite her.

Well girls, we find out tomorrow if we are doing this thing...I am excited and nervous and giddy all at once. This would be such a major accomplishment for all of us (and something I can cross out on my bucket list).

I will not leave you with this quote:

We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon. Emil Zatopek

My first three miler and a 0.01% scare!

Today I was running and I got to my one mile marker where I usually turn around to complete my two mile run, but today I kept going to the 1.5 marker.  I have to make sure not to get in my head too much and keep thinking positive! Good luck girls, I'd love to hear how everyone's doing!

On another note I was getting nervous that I might be pregnant (so much for 99.9% accuracy!).  In my head I'm thinking, "I can't run a marathon if I am 9 months pregnant!" But I took the test and it is official, I am NOT expecting! 26.2 miles, here I come! I need to conquer this before I think about baby number 2!
