Hello!

Wow! Almost a 2-month hiatus! Sorry about that! You'd think that with training for a half marathon, that I'd write on my running blog all the time...guess not! I've just been busy enjoying the summer and running that I really haven't been in the mood to blog.

My Half training has been going awesome! I've loved it! My Half is just 6 days away! I can't believe it! My longest run was 12 miles and I loved every second of it. I've figured out how to fuel. I hate gels and love chomps. I got a hydration belt that is awesome and works perfectly.

We've been pretty busy this summer on the weekends. Doing lots of fun things with the kids. In June the boys turned 2 and S turned 4. We've been outside nonstop. It's been a lot of fun.

I haven't ran a 5K in almost 2 months. It feels weird. But running one would have messed up my Half training. I don't know when my next one will be. But I definitely miss it! Maybe I'll find one in August to do.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous summer! I will definitely write a race report for my Half Marathon!! So excited!

Here are some pics from the last couple months.

What a sassy hat! Love the red!

I haven't run a 5K since New Year's Eve. It is so strange. I mean that is what I did! A 5K every month. I miss them, too!
