Official training has begun . . .

Day #1 already crossed off the schedule . . . it's hard to believe that it's already been a year since I first started training for my marathon, this time around I've decided to only run the half marathon. I honestly don't see myself running the entire 26.2 miles EVER again, the half marathon is a much easier task and it'll only take half as long to complete. And what makes it easier this time around is that I already know what to expect and that Renee' (my twin sis) will be by my side for this journey. I know that I'll be able to count on her all the way to the finish line.

I didn't have plans of getting up so early this morning to run, but Jake woke me up at 5:15 AM not feeling too well. I waited until Kaitie got up and then headed out . . . good thing because it's suppose to get up to 95 degrees today. Jakob and I headed into town just after eight, he tested positive for strep . . . and he's in a lot of pain! I've been walking around the house all day with a can of lysol permanently attached to my hand . . . I certainly don't want to pick this up. I hope those antibiotics kick in quick because I hate to see him like this.

I've not been too crafty lately, but have taken ALOT of pictures that I'm already wanting to scrap . . . I have new things to play with from my recent retail therapy session and I'm ready to CREATE!
