2miles 20minutes
So it is a long way from 26 miles but it is a good start. It has taken me the past several weeks to get up to two miles (jogging the entire time). Last night I pulled out the dusty treadmill (b wasn't home so I couldn't run my normal route around the 'hood). Actually, I rememberred that it wasn't that bad on the treadmill. I pulled it to the end of my garage-facing the street, turned on my new tiny ipod with a new playlist that B gave me, and watched the girls play in the front yard while I ran. I still havn't signed up for the 2009 marathon, could I really run the full it is hard to tell when I am only at two miles right now. Most of all, where will I find the time to train. When I trained for the half I wasn't nursing a baby so B and I would do our long runs during the weekends that the girls were at the farm. Not sure how I would get away from Ru long enough to take those runs. And will my milk be OK after a 15 mile run? Unless something happens I plan on nursing her through April which is when the marathon is. I don't know..am I just talking about it to make it seem like I am really going to do it (I am notorious for that) Only time will tell..and I will enjoy looking back at this entry. For now I wanted to list a few of songs on my playlist so that I could look back in 5 and laugh!
Kings of Leon "S@! on Fire"
Foo Fighters "Best of You"
Cold Play "Clocks"
Reef "Place Your Hands"
The Postal Service "Such Great Heights"
Jimmy Eat World "The Middle"
Dixie Chicks "Cowboy Take me Away"
Dashboard Confessional "Infidelities"
Daniel Moody "Track 03...don't know name"
Blue October "Into the Ocean"
Band of Horses "The General Specific"
Almon Brothers "Midnight Rider"



Way to go D! It's funny I was working on a blog post about running and including my running mix. We have some of the same artists. That is so cool the girls played while you watch and run. Even if I took 20 minutes, Ava would make it her mission the interrupt me on the treadmill!
I think you can do the whole and will find the time to train. Ruby is only going to get older and need you less. I think you are notorious for doing what you say you are going to do, not the other way around :) Love you girl! Good luck!
