Uggg, so I could not go out yesterday. Thankfully the training has a day of rest on it and I can maneuver things around, but still can't help but feel guilty. Who knows why. I should just get over the fact that I was waiting for my husband to get home so I could go run, and then he calls to tell me he is helping his mom out, and now it is too late to go with the boys. I will be fine and go out today, but it is just the start and I am hard on myself.
The dieting is going good (hard) but good. I have issues with food, so when I do things my way I end up over weight and unhappy. That is why I have my husband to train and support me. Thankfully we are doing it together again, (he will lose more weight and faster then me) but it is nice to not be alone.
Don't have much to say today. Maybe another story will come later.
On a good/great note, one of my good friends is having a baby girl!! About a year ago she lost a baby to Trisomy 13. It was a very hard thing for her, and everyone around her. She dealt with it like a champ, and has now become pregnant with another girl! God is so good!!
Talk to you later!

Day 1
Today, is about yesterdays run, pacifiers, and fences.
Well the matter at hand is the run. I ran my three miles yesterday to start my training. I had a babysitter watch the kids so I could start off strong. It felt great!! I even had a ten minute mile...I know not too fast, but for me to jump right back into a ten minute mile was just what I needed. I ran at lake murray, and even though I breathe like I am dieing, and it may hurt sometimes, I just kept telling myself "if it were easy everyone would be doing it." That is usually the pep talk I give myself, among others. Not very sore today, but was not expecting to be.
Again this is the training within my life, so you get the other stories as well. Which one, is a pacifier. It was not so helpful with my first son. But the day Denise got Aiden to take the little blue passy they give you, my life was changed! They are wonderful really, in the car, in public places and especially for night time! But now we are saying goodbye! I don't want Aiden to speak funny because he is always trying to talk with the pacifier in his mouth. Also at 3am he would wake up looking for it, and I like getting sleep. It is hard for me, because I just think he looks cute with it in his mouth. But this will be good. As of right now, he is screaming himself to sleep..."I wont give in, I wont give in!"
Then comes the fence. The fence in our backyard, (which we rent so technically not our backyard) but our neighbor, wants to fix the fence, and have someone help him. To bring you to speed on things, my husband and his business partner work so hard, they don't have much time for anything else. Especially for a fence they don't think needs fixing. But it is getting fix (with a fuss by neighbor boy) and we can't go in our backyard for two days. Not much to say more, just venting it out so I don't think about it.
Well, that is all. The training part going good so far but it is only day 1, so we will see on day 20, mile 60. (?)

Journy to the Silver Strand!!
Here is what I am thinking.....writing a blog about my "half marathon" training. Since training sometimes gets hard and you want to give up, I thought this might keep me accountable. I will try to write everyday about my training and how it is going, all in order with my crazy nest I keep at home with all my boys. :)(should be fun!)
I am a person who would rather give up in situations then push through. I know that is probably why I am heavier than I would like to be after my second baby. With my first, I exercised and ate right and the weight seemed to fall off. This one, is two lbs a week if I am lucky. Oh, also my stroller has gotten a lot heavier with my 38 pound three year old and my 26 pound one year old to push. Do you see where I am getting, I find any excuse to give up, give in or whatever, just so I don't have to do it! But here and now, that stops. I am using this to be accountable and finish what I start.
I ran a marathon about four/five years ago, and guess what, I didn't do very much to....TRAIN. Yes I was running consistently, but never did I go over a six mile run to prepare for a 26.2 marathon. However I finished. This time I want to train right and run the race good! (sounds like a quote from the walls of a gym) I am not saying I won't complain, or that I think this is going to be easy. I just hope that me writing about it, will keep me on track and at pace.
I am hoping to get in shape a bit while doing this, so many of the blogs may also be about me being hungry, because you can't train and not have a hungry body. I will also try to fib on this too, so again you're my accountability. (I say you my blog world, but I now it is me) By fibbing, I mean cheat on my eating and give up also.
So here I go on my adventure, today is my first day to run three miles, so tomorrow I will let you know how its goings!!
Also I realized I forgot to tell you when and where the race is.....this is reflecting my state of denial that gets me to not train in the first place! But it is down the silver strand, on November 14. Running with my sister in laws (as usual.) If I am doing anything that is a race...it is with them!! :) But we love it!!
