So, the crazy chick that I am, I signed up for a 10K this Saturday. You know, for our 6th anniversary, I’m gonna run 6 miles. I’m insane. Heidi was so nice to watch the kids for me this morning and off I went. Between new shoes, numb toes, and a constant stitch in my side, I ran it in 1 hour and 20 minutes. It didn’t take me as long as I had feared it would, even though I know it’s not a great time. I’m not doing this to prove anything to anyone. Mostly doing it just to say that I did it, and of course the health benefits of running. But 6 miles is so FAR! Man oh man. But now that I’ve done it once, I can’t use it as an excuse to not ever do one again. I really do enjoy running. Wish me luck this Saturday! I’ll let you know how it goes!

1Watch out, pretty soon you’ll hear yourself saying, “maybe I should sign up for that half marathon.”
It’s like a sick disease!

3There’s no better way to say “I love you” on your sixth anniversary than running a 10k!

4You’ll do great and you’re motivating me to maybe, just maybe try to run farther than a 5K. We’ll see about that. I can’t wait to hear how you do!
