running & eating

Last month

I accomplished

my second

half marathon.

My BRF (best running friend)

and I trained together 

for 12 weeks.

She was a great influence

and motivator on those mornings

where my head did not

want to lift off my pillow.

My goal was

to shave 13 minutes

off my last time.

After lots of hard work

I shaved off 15 minutes!

This accomplishment 

was great for me.

The time for training

was a big commitment.

But, it actually helped

me stay sane.

It gave me time for ME,

made me a more patient mom

and

a good influence

on my boys.

I really appreciated

all the support during 

training and the run itself.

I can't wait for

the boys to join me

on these adventures!

Supporting Mama

was exhausting!

Our celebration lunch

was at a small airport

where you eat outside

so you can

be up close

to airplanes

taking off and landing!

The boys loved it!

I loved relaxing, 

eating some yummy food,

and thinking about

my next goal.
