My Next Goal

I've signed us up for a 5K. (And by 'us' I mean BJ and I.) OK, I haven't officially registered yet because the "register online" link wasn't working and I'm waiting to hear back from the contact person to see if there's still space available for the race we want to run. (It's called the Niantic Bay Half Marathon and 5K on September 27th--what a way to celebrate turning 31: run a 5K 4 days later). I know, excuses excuses--but if that one's full there's another one we can try on the 12th--and that one has a fun run that we could do with Toby and Norah. Actually, there's a little voice in my head that's saying "why not do both?" (and I'll bet that voice isn't in BJ's head).
[Edit: we signed up for the race on September 27th!]
So I've been out jogging every few mornings over the last few weeks. I'm on the 12 week plan to gear up to running 3 miles. I think it'll be good fur us to get out and enjoy the (mostly flat) area where we live. We have each gotten a new pair of running shoes and are making the best of it (trying to avoid the humidity and stifling heat--which hasn't been the problem since it's rained every other day this summer). I've been waking up before the kids and heading out for a jog and it's been really cool to see my progress, even just in the last two weeks. This morning I even had time to enjoy a bit of the paper before Toby woke up! And Norah, bless her heart, has been sleeping in until 9 almost every morning since our return from Colorado.
