The big run is closing in

DJ / 14 Years Ago

The biggest news is that our half marathon/mini vacation is only 5 weeks away. We ran 8 miles yesterday and will increase that by 1 mile each week until the race. Our goal is just to finish without walking. It will be a challenge, but I know we can do it.

Work continues to be work, with all it little stresses and drama for the both of us. We are thankful we have jobs and we know it could be much worse. We have not done much in the weight loss area, but we know we are getting in better shape with all the running we have been doing: over 23 miles this week!

The other big news is that Kelley starts back up at her Master's degree in a week or so - that will be a huge challenge, but I know she is up to it!

    I am SUPER anxious for this run. Even though the long runs make me rest the next day it must be a good thing. I can rest and still feel energized that is my goal. Cheers to improving!

    Things never go the way you think
    It is hard to believe that the last time I posted, nearly 16 months ago, life was so vastly different. We had just moved to Peoria... and now we've been gone from Peoria for 9 months! Just 40 days after I was let go by Liberty Mutual, Kelley was let go by Caterpillar. That led to some dark months
