I know it has been a while since I have blogged. I wish I could say it is because being a mom is tough and exhausting, because it is but honestly it has been the best job I have ever had. It is pure joy. I cherish every day I get with my sweet baby girl. Even when I am running on fumes, I take a moment and remember how blessed I am to be able to stay at home with her.
So in all honesty here is a big reason why my blog has taken a back seat lately. Apparently being a first time mom was not enough of a challenge for me to take on, but I decided to sign up for a full marathon in October!
And when I say sign up, I entered a lottery to see if a friend and myself would get picked, and in a million years I did not think we would get picked. But we did and here I am training to run a marathon in 75 days!!!
We will be running in the Nike Women's San Francisco Marathon on October 20th. I am excited, nervous, and determined. I am pushing myself in ways I never thought I would but here we go. I luckily had started working out a month before with a trainer to help me get back in shape. Doing that has definitely been an advantage because I have felt stronger in my runs.
I have to admit that after I had Olivia I made bad choices when it came to what I was eating. We definitely ate a lot of fast food and I gained a lot of weight. So I am currently training and trying to lose weight. I will post some small updates on here but please pray that my friend and I survive the next 3 months with no injuries :)
