It's a Love/Hate Relationship

Me and running definitely have a love/hate relationship going on.  I hate it while I'm doing it (most of the time) and love the way I feel when I'm done.  Love it enough that I do it again, even though I hate it while I'm doing it.  Does that even make sense?!

Anyway, my crazy hubby decided that it would be fun to train for a half marathon... and recruited some friends to do it with us!  I've actually enjoyed most of the training.. mostly because we are doing it with friends.  We each aim to do a couple mid-week runs on our own and then we meet every Saturday morning to do the long runs together.  It makes it so.much.easier. to do it in a group... that's for sure!!

The half marathon (that would be 13.1 miles, folks!) is on October 16th so we've made it about halfway through our training so far.  This past Saturday we ran a 10K together as part of the training. 

Woohoo!  We did it! 



It has been so fun running with these friends... we've had TONS of time to chat while we run and that makes the time go by so quickly. 

I think I'm actually feeling confident enough to officially register for the event!  But, just don't ask me my time.  I'm working on completion here...  not on speed! :)  Claire has been totally getting into running as well, as she gets to spend lots of time in the jogging stroller while we run.  She usually wants to get out and run the last part with us.  She runs about the same speed I do, so it works out! :) 

Six weeks of training down... six to go!!
