Well, another working week!    Only 3 nights this week, and that was enough…  Next week will be easy for me…  I work Sunday night, am off Monday, then have orientation Tuesday during the day…  And that’s it! 

Yesterday was a nice run with my mom.  I’m so proud of her!  We finally have her up to 8 miles!!  And another good thing is that she feels confident enough to send in her registration for the Mercedes 1/2 Marathon!!  Even though my mom is a bit slower than I am, I plan on crossing that finish line with her come Februrary!  It’s very important to me to have my mom finish yet another 1/2 marathon.  She is, after all, my inspiration for running!  I grew up at the park, pretty much!  It seems I was always waiting for my mom to finish up a run…  Now, I run at that same park I used to play at while waiting for her to run.  Unfortunately, times have changed, and I’m not able to bring my kids to this park and have them play while I run.  Just not safe enough to leave them alone.  But, I digress…  My mom hasn’t been running much over the past, well, say 10 years?   Almost 2 years ago, she posed the question of running another marathon.  That’s the only reason I ran CMM the first time around.   Becuase I made a promise to myself and to my mom that I would run the marathon.  My mom wasn’t able to run that marathon with me, but to be able to get her to run a 1/2 marathon is just as good!  Plus, she plans on running the last 10K of CMM coming up in April…

Nothing new is going on in my life…  I can’t believe that I’ve been employed for 3 weeks already!  Boy time really flies!  No running for me today, but I’m back at it tomorrow! 

Have a great week!
