A gorgeous day here in Miami. I went out with Billy (Idol) and PR'd my 5K time. It was either him or the speed work I have been doing the last few weeks. Either way, this Mommyathlon is happy!!! I got back and my husband took a pic of me playing with the kids and told me to post my cold weather attire. Ridiculous isn't it/  It's ok though, I got a PR and am happy!

22 Freaking Miles!!!! WOW!

I'm now 4 weeks close to my first full and last week-end, I completed my longest training run of 22 miles with some great company (hubs and a best friend of ours - thanks guys for keeping me safe and providing great company).  I did 5 miles yesterday of bridgework and I felt great.  It was hot and humid and nasty but it got done.  I have one more long run of 20 miles and I am officially done with my long runs for the first full.  Is this really true???  YES IT IS!!!

New Year Team Challenge Run

Mommyathlon had another fabulous team challenge run to celebrate the new year followed by a delicious breakfast! Running friends are the best gift EVER!

Bridgework/speedwork and Meg's miles

Today my wonderful running buddy/friend and I went out for speed work and tackled the bridge many times over. It was fantastic!!! Miami finally got some cool weather and the sky was breathtaking - it reminded me that life is so fragile and such a gift. We ran for Meg.  I thought about how lucky I am to be here, to have my fmaily and my wonderful running buddies.  To laugh to live to run. We are blessed. 

#megsmiles. If you ran for Meg, comment here! Let's add our miles together.  I did 5.50 and my friend did 6. How about all of you?

One step closer to a new dream and a new goal - CERTIFIED RUNNING COACH

In the beginning of January, I went to a RRCA course to become a certified running coach. This is a new goal I set for myself after helping several Mommyathlon ladies/friends reach their first half marathon goal. I wanted to be able to help others do this and to have more knowledge and information on how to get there. I passed the certification exam today!  I am so happy! I am one CPR/First Aid course away from receiving my certificate!

Could this be a career change for me? I think so!

Meg's Miles

So very sad..... Let's run for Meg this Saturday. This story broke my heart. A mother, a runner and one devastating accident that ended a beautiful life.  Let's join together and dedicate all our runs/miles this Saturday to a fellow Mommyathlon runner who was touched by tragedy this past week. My heart and prayers go out to her family.
