Oh my goodness, they are just super adorable!!!! What a wonderful reason to keep up the running!
Randy, to answer your question on my blog, I live in Fortuna, CA. It's up on the redwood coast, about two hours south of the Oregon border. It it pretty isolated and therefore hard to find races. Sometimes I wish I lived in Austin, TX like my sister-in-law because she said there are races just about every weekend.
How har are you from Sacramento? There is a marathon there on 10/7/07...when are leaving for and getting home from vacation?
Aren't they absolutely beautiful!!!
ohhhhh how beautiful are those children!!!! I would want to live to see them grow up too!
Your doing great things for you and them :)
Adorable, and a very good reason to keep yourself in good health!
I just read your question in my comments. I'm 49. I have been running for 13 years, 25 miles/week base.
I started building miles last year, then ran my first in October in Portland. It was hard to walk the next few days, hard to lower into a chair. I think a big part of the challenge is mental - I knew it could be done because I'd been watching Eric and Rob and other Maniacs do it.
My next marathon was a month later - the last five miles were really tough and I was out of energy, but felt better the next day. I've gotten better at managing fuel and water since then, my legs and hips still hurt during the last half, but recovery is quick.
I teach the Pilates class on Monday morning after the marathon - which is hard, but worth it. It stretches everything out and gets the blood flowing. If I could just get the blistering solved, then I could actually be running by Tuesday. Except this time - I've got a little strained tendon after yesterday.
The way I figure it, you put in the training for a marathon, you run it, then you rather than letting it all go, you just keep it going. If I have a few weeks between I'll get in anywhere from a 10 to 18 mile run, and keep my weekday runs in the 5-8 mile range. I don't let my training drop off. That's how I do it!
Ahhh!!! Randy they are so cute!!!
Awwwhhhhh they are too stinkin cute!!! ;D ;D Love the little pig tails on Jordin!!
What a great reason!!! How CUTE!
I'm Back! Thanks for the worries!
The babies are beautiful.
I am sorry to hear about the stress fracture and hope that all is better now! Running can be so frustrating!
