Soooooooooo...
If you read my other blog, One of Each, you have read recently that Aaron and I have been vacillating back and forth, agonizing and trying to decide whether or not we would be trying to conceive a third child in the near future. Well, yesterday we effectively ended that decision-making process, at least for the next year or so, because Aaron and I both registered to...
...get ready for it...
...run the Disney Half Marathon on January 8th, 2011.
Yep, you read that right. I will be getting up uber early (the race starts at 5:50am Eastern time) and running 13.1 miles. On purpose.
I've been running several days a week for a few months now and I'm able to run about four miles comfortably at this point. I have almost eleven months to get myself to be able to handle those additional nine miles...I think I can do it. Right? Stop shaking your head at me.
I'm excited for this. I love the way that running makes my body feel. Sure, my knees hurt sometimes and it's tiring and difficult as hell, but I feel strong, powerful, and graceful, and that's saying a lot for me. And, I am excited to be going through the training and buildup and the actual run with Aaron. I think this is going to be something really cool to experience with one of my absolute favorite people in the world.
Plus...we don't have to make a decision on baby #3 until at least next January. By that point, we might actually be able to make up our minds.

I don't think you're crazy! But a lot of people think I'm crazy myself. You can TOTALLY run 13.1 by January. In fact, I bet you could do it by summer. You'll surprise yourself once you get going. ;) Let me know if you need any help or advice!
Yay Sara, not crazy at all. Keep us posted on the progress! I'm also working hard to increase my running, the current goal is a 10K in April. It keeps me motivated to hear other successes/struggles.
