Returning

Hello everyone!

As promised, I am starting my blog back up this week. Jon and I had a nice weekend together, and it was great to just concentrate on each other. I have already had a rough few nights since we've been back since the baby hasn't been sleeping well, but that's life I guess.

I'm back to my running routine which is really nice! I have decided to try to run in the morning during Mariah's first nap since it's usually the longest. So far, that's working. It's something that's really hard for me though. I have always functioned better in the afternoon, but it has come down to either doing it in the morning and getting a workout in, or waiting and not getting one in. I'm kind of hoping that this will help me to organize the rest of my day better too. I really want to start making better use of my time.

I'm really getting excited about the Seaway Run! I think this will be the first time that I'll be running a 5k not just hoping to finish or to run the whole thing. I can actually work on my time a little. My goal is to finish in under 35 minutes, and I think that's very doable!

I started thinking about a race to run between now and the half marathon, and I seriously thought about doing the CRIM, but after really breaking it all down, I'm thinking that might be a little expensive for this year anyway. We have a lot going on this summer, so I'm not sure it's going to work out. The cool part is that as long as I keep up with my training, I'll be able to run the 10 mile next year with a good time!

I'm really glad to be back! You'll be hearing from me again very soon!
