So even though I swore I wouldn’t run any farther than a 5k, I have gotten myself sucked into a longer run! I’ll be running in the IL Marathon as part of a relay team on May 1st here in Champaign-Urbana. There are 4 people on a team and therefore each person runs between 6 and 7 miles. I don’t know what leg of the race I have ended up with but I’m really hoping for the one closer to 6 than the 7 miler. I have been trying to “train” for this but am SO not motivated by the treadmill and it has been too cold for me to be running outside. I have done it a couple days on our 30 degree evenings but that’s about it. It is warming up so I hope that helps! I’ll do my best but this IS the LAST time I will run longer than a 5K – do you hear that Franni???

Wish me luck!

Since she was working so hard to breathe, it pretty much wore her out and she slept almost the whole flight home and car ride. The next day we took her into the Dr and it was pretty yucky. I was almost positive we were going to make another trip to the hospital. Luckily the Dr gave her some medicine and put Continue reading »
