Half Marathon is Almost Here!

Im back home from San Antonio thankfully. I really missed home, but I got to see one of my friends be successfully married, and thus ending my frantic two and half months of traveling back and forth. I am now trying to get back into the groove of cleaning and getting supper on the table. It will happen eventually (hopefully).

My main focus though is getting back into the groove of running. My half marathon is October 23. I have to admit I am a little nervous. Before I went to San Antonio for awhile, I was confident because I had ran 12 miles and was not even out of breath. I came back and ran 4 miles and could tell my body had not ran in awhile. I know I can bounce back, but its in almost a week. I am going to try to get one more long run in on this Saturday before the big day. Hoping I can do this.

On a lighter note, while I was gone Ryan, my husband, told me he had a surprise for me. I never know what a "surprise" is going to mean, but to my delight and joy he got me a pair of five fingers and nike running shorts! Oh yeah and an ultra sweet note about his support for me in the run next weekend (I know, too sweet). I have been wanting a pair of five fingers since I read and researched about them. I had to wear them of course because I just got them, but regretted it later. They correct and retrain you muscles to walk/run correctly, and after a few hours i sure did feel it. Sadly, I decided it would be best to wait until after my half marathon to wear them again. They are sitting on my dresser very lonely, but soon I will be wearing them everywhere. Here are the shoes and shorts.

So I will see how this next week goes and wish me luck!
