{my all too often attire for dropping Hana & Evan off to school. thank goodness they're too young to care right now}
I love to run. I don't get to do it very often...for one reason, it requires "alone" time, and I very seldom get that right now with the kids in tow. And another reason is because I was focused on this semester of classes and just staying sane. Although the running certainly would help with the staying sane part. I run for many reasons, number 1 being my health-physical and mental. Another reason is because I can do it without having to drive to a gym (although that's where I ran for most of the winter) because luckily where we live, I can go right out the front door and either go to a nice flat surface, an incline up the hill, or a little rougher behind the college. Anyway, I've decided to go ahead and sign up for a race to motivate me to get out more (as I scarf down some ice cream). Here's the chosen one: http://www.santamonica5000.com/. I did a run last year in Santa Monica that was a 5k, so I decided it'd be nice to give it a try as a 10k (6.2 miles). It's been over a year since I've run steadily but I'm catching up quickly so I hope to be ready for this 10k in October. I'm also signing Evan up for the 100 meter. He loves to run (often referring to himself as Dash from the Incredibles) so this'll be his chance.
Next year's goal is a half marathon for me and Steve to do together.
