What is this blog about?
My adventures of being a novice marathon runner while balancing mommyhood and wifedom. Since I'm new to the world of marathons and running, I'm looking to my Sheroes for guidance. Where my Girls at?!?!?!?!
My running experience?
Does running track in high school back in the 1990's count?
What does my family think about my new goal for 2012?
I shared the news with my 14 years old son first.
Me: I think I'm going to run a marathon. What do you think?
Son: Really. Mom, that's like 20 something miles mom.
Me: It is?
Son: Yeah.
Me: Let me Google that.
Son: (blank stare)
Me: (after a 15 minute Google search and a relax-relate-release Whitley Gilbert moment) Actually smarty pants, I can begin with a 5k run as my first goal and I need at least three months to train.
Son: I guess.
Me: I can do it.
Son: Just how long is a 5k run, mom?
Me: (Oh shoot. I forgot.)
Son: How many miles mom?
Me: (After one more Google search) It's 3.1 miles!

My husband has no idea. After the borderline harassment from my son last night, I better get some facts on my side.

My daughter (she's 2 years old) is always down with mommy! Girls Rock!! Whoot! Whoot!
