3 years ago.

20 minutes ago I completed my 10 mile run.

3 years ago today I found out I was pregnant with ella.

I was so excited, but scared of the 10 miler I was going to run the next morning.

After calling the doctor to see what they thought I was relieved that they told me it probably wasn't a good idea to continue training.

This time is different.

I've put in the time.

I've done the saturday morning runs.

I'm prepared.

nervous.

but think I'm ready if you told me I had to run 13.1 tomorrow.

3 years ago I was not.

how is it, with two kids, a dog, a husband, and full load of courses I've found more time to run and prepare?

its just that time.

Rain, rain, go away.

training has been going Great!

9 miles on saturday without a problem.
Felt like I could have kept going if needed.

Weekday runs still usually are not my favorite.

I always seem to drag.

But heres the thing.

I talked myself out of it yesterday.
It was a little rainy.
I had a MILLION end of the semester things to do.

So I cross trained.
Fine.
Good.
No prob.
I can move around my training.

So today was the day.

But my alarm didn't go off so I woke up 15 minutes late.

and it is pouring outside.

and I still have a million things to do.

and I don't like to run inside or in front of people at the Y.

So here I am. While I got done what I was worried about getting done today, am I just making excuses?

but really, it is pouring outside.

I feel like a slacker.

But really really pouring...
