Ever since I started back to work after Noah, one of the biggest challenges I have had has been figuring out when I can fit a workout in. I don't want to put Noah in childcare at a gym right after I pick him up from daycare, and the jogging stoller worked until he became old enough to tell me he would rather ride his bike or play soccer outside than sit in a stroller for 45 minutes! So....another mom at my school and I decided we would start running right after school got out (3:15) so our workout would be done and over with when we picked up the kids. That turned into "hey, let's run a half." Tessa has run several, and Jennifer and I decided it would be a fun goal. We trained exactly how our schedule told us to, and I really think that's the only reason I was able to do it. We also started talking while we were running and it's amazing how well you get to know someone when you are running together for that long! Several other girls from work would join us at times and our principal even started scheduling in "running group meets at 3:15" on our weekly bulletin. It was a really great experience and I'm so glad I did it. The day of the race my brother joined us for the run. It was SO humid and the hills were pretty hard, but overall it was okay. My final time was 2 hours and 28 minutes.
