My Husband is a Marathoner...Now What am I Going to Do?

Being at the finish line to watch David finish his first marathon was a memory I won't soon forget.  I am so glad I was able to be a part of it.  While I waited for him to come down the road I was able to watch so many others finish and I can honestly say I was moved.  The determination in their faces was something I don't think I've ever seen before.  Did it motivate me - hell yes.  I honestly didn't think I would ever even think about running 26.2 miles but now I can at least see me contemplating it.  Am I crazy - hell yes!  But before I do that I have to finish my training for the 5K.  I finished week 4 on Thursday.  I didn't think I had it in me.  I swore I wouldn't be able to run for the full five minutes but I did.  That begs the question...what else can I do that I've told myself my whole life that I can't?  It sort of makes me a little pissed off at myself.  What a loser I've been for so long.  Anyway, David signed us up for the 5K.  It's in St. Pete on March 26th.  I am very excited.  It is at night so it will be a little different for us.  So I am feeling pretty good about how things are going with my running.  I got up early Saturday to make sure that I got my run in which was week 5 day 1.  It went really good.  I am now a professional five minute runner!!  Now that I have signed up for the race (which really is only through week 7 of my training), I feel the pressure to get my workout in which is the point right?  The best part of that is that I really don't want to miss.  I did get on the scale (why? No idea) this past weekend and I am up five pounds.  I guess smoking and eating after 9pm does eventually catch up to you.  Anyway, that was not good news and much to my dismay the jeans I packed for my evening out in Orlando were a little snug. But I made it through the night tucking and rolling the fat of my stomach into my jeans.  All I have to say is thank god I have started exercising!  Until next time...
