Anniversary Beach Run

Today I have been married 15 years. My husband is away but I decided that today was not going to be a sad day. So I started off early with a run on the beach. 3.5 miles. I am so thankful that I am running pain free *knock on wood*. It was really beautiful out there today and the only people there were the surfers and runners :) I am working on building a base for when my husband comes home. It would be the greatest joy for me to be able to run with him and actually have him get a workout too.

I am having a hard time not going out too much though. Even as I sit here I have the urge to run again tonight but I know it would be pushing it.

I am sitting here waiting for a delivery from him that is supposed to come today. Come on people!!! Hurry up! lol

new goal

Well as many of you know my husband and I are in the middle of his long deployment. He will be home spring 08. We are able to talk on the phone alot and have decided to spend time together accomplishing some of the goals that are important to us.

One of the goals is running together and training for a major race. Probably the LA marathon because that is where we grew up. It just seems like the right one for us to do. In all this I am painfully aware that my skill is significantly below his. So much so that if he runs with me, he gets no training affect at all.

This leads me to my personal goal. I have signed up for the devine training for the marathon, I will not run it for we want to train for it and run our first one together, but it is an easy plan that can get me in shape enough to train with him when he gets home.

2.5 miles completed today
