Overdue update

The first two weeks of February are always a mad house for me because of multiple birthdays, Valentines day and the inevitability of having at least one sick kid at the time. Well, I got through it and am now ready to relax and continue on with a normal life again.

I still can't quite say I'm over my cold- three week anniversary today, but I do feel about 90% so I'll call that good. Like I mentioned before, with an impending half marathon on the horizon my training is going to start veering more to the running discipline until race day. My training partner Mindy must have been reading my mind about this because she has definitely decided to kick it up a notch in the running department and is kindly dragging me along for the ride.

Today we did a fairly easy five mile route and it was hard for me. I felt really terrible the last half mile and wanted to quit, but I didn't because of the girls I was running with were keeping me going. Another testament to the importance of training partners to help you over the hump.
