Tan Lines....Long Runs....and Motivation

I'm so sorry for being MIA yet again! But I figured you would get a good laugh by this picture! Even though it has been about 10 degrees during each of my long runs, I have still managed to get a wicked tan line on my forehead! If anyone has any suggestions on how to avoid this let me know! It's from my hat and though I love a good tan....it's pretty funky and it looks like I just put a ton of bronzer on since the rest of my body is wicked white!

My long runs have been going well and I can't believe that the half is in 2 weeks or so! I have done 13 miles for two weekends in a row...this week was definitely better since my friend Michelle ran a part of it with me! Things always go by faster when you have someone to talk to! I love running with my buddy Jill but she is recovering from Miami and giving her body a long needed rest!! I miss you Jill!!! I will probably try to do 14 this weekend and then start to taper a little. I am definitely feeling the tired feeling in my legs!

Even though I am getting in my long runs, I will say that my motivation is not what I need it to be! I am doing the 1000 mile challenge and I am not happy with myself when it comes to my mileage totals! After going to the doctor for Emma, I told her that Emma is having trouble eating real people food...she just won't try it! She'll anything that I puree but not too much that we give her off our plate. The doctor said we needed to eat as a family. Well before that I would go to the gym when my hubs was done with work and then be home to put Em to bed. Well after that, as you can imagine, I decided to wait until Emma went to bed to exercise. This equals me and the dreadmill in the basement! It's hard and I'm exhausted but I have to JUST DO IT!!!! I am hoping this week I'll be able to get focused. I know once I am focused I will do just fine! I promise to keep you posted!!
