wasting time

Hi ladies!  Long time no post.... any of us!
So, here's where I'm at with my workouts.  I keep finding reasons not to.  That's where I'm at.  Sitting next to the treadmill and glancing at it every once in awhile while I write letters, check fb....glance.... shop online, read my book, eat a few pretzels....glance... give the kids a bath, make this months meal plan, talk on the phone...glance... do a load of laundry.... glance...

I really  need to get back on a workout schedule...

much love to all the ladies
HOW are all of you doing? any new workouts or victories to share in this area?  Any races run?

LONG TIME NO SEE!

I know i haven't been on here in forever... that makes me sad! I got really busy with work and reading all these wonderful books (Redemption series!) lately and kinda forgot to keep up with this! but regardless.. Im back!
It is so encouraging to hear how everyone is doing with all their different workouts! Nothings too new with me, I'm training for the half-marathon in lincoln again! Never thought I'd be putting myself through another one of these exhausting "pee my pants" type events, but this time around has been a million times easier to prepare!! I think last year toughened me up mentally, so I'm up for the challenge again! I hope some of you are planning on doing it again too!
As for lately, other than my training I just ran a 10k this past saturday with a friend, and i felt great!! i think I'm actually becoming a better runner, who da thunk?!! lol :) It just makes me more excited for the big race!! This year I got 3 more friends to do the half with me and my friend Katie (the pro) who did it last year! We are making t-shirts and I'm designing them! I mean they won't be Jake Stutzman quality, but they should suit the purpose. So if any of you are running the half-marathon in lincoln and want to join our clan, let me know.. id love to include you in the t-shirts!! :) when I get done designing them ill post a picture of the design!!

JEN, LIZ.. ITS NOT TOO LATE!! I mean so what if you have no time to train and have 4 or 5 kids to take care of right?! JUST KIDDING, i know i'm ridiculous. Right now you're probably saying, "if she only knew what it was like to have a child or 2 or 4 or 5." :) So I guess ill shut up and say, I look forward to when we can all run it together!! JEN, when i get to hastings your going to have a new work out buddy! And guess what, it will be summer so no smelling people's stinken perfume at the gym, we'll be OUTSIDE! :)

Love reading everyones posts! have a good week everyone!

miss my shoes

Thought I'd say a little hello....was missing my running shoes today and thought of this great blog. I have 4 days until our little #3 is due and I've been dreaming about running again. The day will be so nice, I think I will put on my runners and get out to navigate the ice/snow/slush in an attempt to get this person out! I'm really ready! I've got a big workout coming up! Bring it on.
