Run girl run..'til your shins tear up.



I think it's time for mama to get a new pair of running shoes. It's been a while....ok, it's been almost a year. I know, I know. But they are so expensive! Ack. I do love a new pair of running shoes though. Last year, after Beau was born, Cory took me (and Beau) to Charlotte Running Company so I could get a new pair. That was the first time I had been to a running store where they actually watch you run in order to properly direct you to the right kind of shoe for you. I loved it. I promptly plunked down my money for what they recommended. Now I'm due for another pair I guess. Soon. soon.






It's hard to fit in a run sometimes. I tend to do some catching up on the weekends with Sunday being my "long" run. I love Sunday afternoons. The boys, including Cory, take naps and Emma reads something. She's always reading something! So then I take off. Cory thinks I'm crazy. :) This past Sunday it was HOT! And it's only May. But you know what? I'll take that over a frigid run any day.






I've run three 5k's since Beau was born and each time has been better. My goal starting out was to drop the baby weight and stay fit. So far so good I think. But now it's becoming more than that. I feel the addiction. And I have a new PR goal in mind for the next 5k. I'm not going to run any races through the Summer but I have one in mind for September. So let's hope I can get in the right training over the next few months to get that goal time. I think it's a realistic goal. You want to know what it is don't you? ;) Well we'll see if I reach it and then I'll let you know. :0
