191 to go ...

Have I ever mentioned how hard it is to get all of your mileage in with three kids (two that don't nap), three jobs, one preschool board position, dance classes, soccer practice and a husband who travels a lot (including weekends)?

Well, it's hard.

Yet, somehow (and I'm not really sure how) I have only missed two runs in the past nine months. Actually, if you ignore the three weeks my OB demanded that I had to take off after delivering Dilly, I have only missed two runs since September 2007. Once when I had a sinus infection and once when I thought my ankle was going to break. I have been running four days a week for the past two years. I've run through illness and bad weather and an entire pregnancy. And with 64 days left in the year, I am 191 miles away from reaching my goal of 1,000 miles in 2009.

And as long as my ankle (which is hating me right now) holds up, I am so there ...

You are wonder woman and a true inspiration for me! How do you get in your runs when your hubby is gone? Great job on working towards your goal of 1000 miles in 2009!

that is so totally awesome! Yay for you! YOu ran through an entire pregnancy? I'm wanting to get pregnant next fall and I'm hoping to keep running the whole time. How did that go? Did you have to watch your heart rate? how far were you able to run? Could you still do long runs? Sorry- lot's of questions! Way tog go! bye!

Only missed 2 runs since 2007 even through your pregnancy. Wow, that is awesome. You are one determined girl!!

You WILL Make it. Wow oh wow that is dedication. I think 4 days a week is perfect, I find it nearly impossible to follow a 5 or 6 day a week plan, with 2 kids and 1 job :)
