I am usually super nervous! I get these butterfly's and its hard to sleep...I think about how Grandma would be feeling if she was here. I think about how much I would love for her to be watching us race. I often shed a tear or two--missing her, but knowing how she really is here with us. Her spirit lives on through all of us--but especially in my boys. It's amazing to see them--to watch Noah and Owen growing up--to hear Noah talking about her and the memories she made with him. And Owen--oh man, Owen. He will probably never remember her--he was too young--but man does he have her personality. He is so fiesty--such a fighter--and such a silly goose! He is just as stubborn as she was too! Probably even more so! And last night--he showed his true "Grandma Ginnis" personality by waking up around 10:30 wide awake--wanting to hang out and be a night owl! Oh she would have just gobbled him up--spending all those hours watching movies with him--snuggling all his toddlerness! Anyway...enough of that....
Tomorrow I will run my February race!! :) It is the For the Love of the Children virtual race! :) I am excited to run---but not so excited to be running it on the treadmill :( We got snow today--and the roads are quite slick, plus--I have to run in the evening--and my town (which is very very small--and has very very very little crime) has been having some car break-ins and odd happenings going on, which makes me VERY VERY paranoid! So--treadmill it is! I am hoping it can help me log in an AWESOME run!
Sunday my mother-in-law graciously offered to watch the boys to let Justin and I have the afternoon to go out to eat--I had made mention to Justin about wanting/needing to get a run in, but that I would like him to be there (in case I had an issue with my dizziness that is still hanging around)--he also wanted to beat my brother's time/distance from the night before--so off we headed to the local Y (We are YMCA members here--and most Y's have an "away" program) and off we ran! I put in a good 5.65ish miles in about 1:15--my husband however put in 8.25 miles in 1:15!!! How crazy is that?! I was having a crazy time with the treadmill--so I stopped short of the 10K I was trying to run! It was still a good (ish) run! Especially for not running all the week before--I think I did pretty good!!
I am looking forward to logging in a strong 5K time tomorrow!! :) We shall see where the treadmill takes me! :P
Have a fabulous Valentine's Day everyone!
