Half Marathon....NEXT WEEK!

Half marathon is NEXT SATURDAY! July 28, 2012!

Am I ready?........

Have I put in the miles....hours?........

YES and NO!

I have been training now for 5 months! I have done so great till the last 3 weeks. With vacation and not having a hubby home to babysit, it makes working out VERY difficult. I am still running 3 times a week but not putting in as many miles as I should at this point. I have done the best I can with the given circumstances. The race is next saturday, if I am not ready now. I never will be. I am pretty sure my body will be dying and my heart, but mentally I think I can push through those 13.1 miles....

Throughout the training I have lost 14lbs! SCORE! I weigh less now than I did even before I got pregnant. I am back into a size 6! Yeah, I know, it is crazy! I am so happy and I have not really changed my diet a ton, just do not eat as much, and I try to eat healthier snack and ALWAYS eat breakfast. Oh and only drink water! My body has been good to me and has responded so well to running. I am grateful for a healthy body!

WELL..........here we go!

Happy Birthday Knowley!

KNOWLEY IS ONE!

I have to keep saying that because it still seems surreal! Where did the time go? I still feel like she is this little baby just born yesterday, but in all reality she is the beautiful little GIRL, not a baby. She has such a cute, sweet spirit. We were able to go to TN to celebrate Knowley's birthday while daddy is away doing Army training. He will be gone a full month by the time he gets home. I am so sad Brad was not able to be there for her birthday, but it is okay! We got lots of pictures and took video too. The theme of Knowley's birthday was 4th of July with a rubber duck twists :) It turned out really cute! It is really neat that she gets to celebrate her birthday on July 4th. What she is doing now?

-Somewhat eating (still working on it)

-Walking everywhere!

-Laughing

-Singing

-Talking A LOT (She can only say momma, dada, uh-oh)

-Playing with toys

-High-fiving!

-Giving Kisses

-Getting into everything, drawers, closets, etc.

-Shaking her head yes and no (doesn't get the full concept though)

and so much more...

I know she will be 2 before I am ready...trying to take EVERY MOMENT IN!

Smiling for her one year pictures!

Hey, I am ONE!
