Yeah, I keep saying that.
The simple fact is that I keep taking on a lot and not having time to blog about it. What I really need to do is get back to basics and remember why I started blogging – to share and remember my life. So, let’s start with that.
I have been a busy little bee since my last post. After the Baltimore 10 Miler (finished right on my goal of 1:30, wooot!) I decided it was time to cross the biggest, baddest dragon off my bucket list: The Marathon.
The plan went into effect immediately after the 10 Miler. I went right into marathon training, so it’s been about 7 months of running A LOT. I honestly can’t believe I wasn’t running at all earlier this year, and now I can put in a 15-20 mile run at once. It is AMAZING what the body can do when you push it! Now, we are 2 weeks away from the big day. Freaking out? Yes. A lot.
Somewhere in there I also managed to get my Personal Trainer Certification. I figured, why not? I love fitness, I already know a lot, so maybe it’s time to round it out and get certified. That took a few months and a huge commitment of studying during nap times, but I passed the test, I’m insured, and I will actually be training online in coming months (get excited!)
Most of my time is, of course, dedicated to little Luke. He is extremely energetic and wild, even for a toddler boy. He is smart as a whip, but doesn’t talk much. This surprises me, because he had so many words at a young age. One day, he learned “No” and that is most of what I’ve heard since. He understands everything you tell him, loves playing with other kids, has an awesome memory, and is extremely athletic – but if you ask him to repeat a word, he simply smiles and runs away. Lovely.
He’s also still a big boy – leaner but still very tall at 36 inches at his 2 year checkup. Healthy as a horse and doesn’t get sick much, has all his teeth and a gorgeous head of hair. Cute as a button, if you ask me!
That’s the short update on life – I’ve got lots more to post about, so stick around. Here is a video of Luke dancing his face off in the mean time…
