making a commitment

long ago, in a galaxy far, far away rick and i had time on our hands, weighed about 20 lbs less, ran regularly, and completed the san antonio rock 'n roll marathon.

return to the present day, the start of baseball season and the re-gathering of my baseball mom friends at practice and a reminder from a friend that during spring season i promised to run a 1/2 marathon with her. i did what? does she not remember i was hormonal and lacked sleep? and apparently i not only signed myself up but also my friend lexy. and of course this friend had already scoped out a 1/2 in october.

so a couple weeks i dusted off my running shoes and took the girls out for a run/walk and then followed up with a text to lexy that there is no way i am running any sort of event in october but that i would find something for after november. so i found a race and i have made my friends pinky swear to do it with me. it is slow going but the girls and i are working on putting work aside for an hour during the day and getting in a routine. it also helps that lexy and i are keeping tabs on each other. i really am a codependent exerciser. i am not breaking any records just yet but it feels good to get started again.

so now it is public and hopefully that will keep me committed. now if only rick would join in!
