Training

Finding time to train for this race has certainly been challenging. With two small kids it's not like you can just put on your shoes and head outside. In addition the weather poses a big challenge this time of year. We've been fortunate the last week to have blue skies and sunshine with temps in the 70's! The kids have been very helpful riding along in the jogging stroller each with their own consistent routine. William usually has a snack (raisins, granola bar, etc.) and then falls asleep for the entire run! Ella also has a snack while listening to HER music (small cd player with headphones) which is usually playing Alica Keys or Carrie Underwood. She sings along to the music (loudly b/c of the headphones over her ears) while other joggers and bikers passing buy smile or laugh! Everyone seems to get a kick out of looking at the two of them forgetting for a minute or so that they are exercising!
