Life has been crazy lately, so I only have time for a quick update. I have been working a lot more overtime since my counterpart at work left. I have taken on a lot more responsibilities and am also responsible for training the replacement, which has been challenging. I have been feeling pretty overwhelmed with work and school while trying not to let my personal needs and family life take a back burner. It is definitely difficult finding a balance, but I am thankful for my busy life.
My husband & I quit smoking and are training for our first half marathon. It will be in Minneapolis in April. I <3 Minneapolis so much! So many things to do, see, and eat there! It will be a great time & I can not wait. Here is the training plan I chose: http://www.marathonrookie.com/support-files/10weekhalfmarathonschedule.pdf
I have been running regularly about 2.5 - 3 miles, but I will start the official 10-week training program on Feb 20th. The weather has been unbelievably nice for this area and this time of year, so I have been able to do some running outside. I hope we continue to have a mild Winter!
Sometimes I run without music and just focus on the sound of my breathing. Yesterday, I was in the mood to listen to country music. It made the run go by faster, so maybe I will try to listen to music more often.
Anyway, break over. Back to homework I go!
