I have been putting off signing us up for our big half marathon in October until after I had my orthopedic doctor appointment for my knee. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't having some sort of problem that would keep me from training for the race. I had my appointment last week and it went great! It was at a doctor's office that specializes in sports medicine and they were very helpful! They think it's only patella tendonitis. Which is not bad at all, just a pain and something that will eventually go away. They offered some suggestions and it made me feel a lot better. I have only let myself run several times this last month (which has been very hard), but my knee doesn't hurt at all right now. I have lots of hope that it is going away! So, as soon as we all get over the nasty colds we have right now, it will be back to running as usual!
With that good news, we are officially signed up for our half marathon at Disney in October and I couldn't be more excited!! It's a night run on October 2nd, which is our 4th wedding anniversary! We have no idea who is going to watch our kids, but we can't wait for our first ever mini vacation alone (only 1 or 2 nights) since having kids! We will miss them, but it will be nice to get away. If someone tried telling me on our wedding day, that in 4 years we would have 2 little boys and be running a half marathon together, I would have never believed it! It's funny how life changes so quickly.
I was so nervous the first half marathon I did and I had no idea what to expect. This time it will just be fun! I have run that distance quite a few times between my race back in March and other training runs. It will be James' first race of that distance, but he has already run that far in our neighborhood. I know he will do great! I'm also hoping I can jump right back into my running routine so that I can decide which full marathon to sign up for in 2011.
I can't wait to see how our shorter distance times improve, this is going to make our 5k & 10k runs so much easier! :)
