Checking In

Dear friends,

I cannot even begin to explain my exhaustion at the moment. As you may or may not know, running has been a hobby of mine as long as I can remember. As my Dad would say, still not sure how we find pounding the pavement FUN, but we've decided it's because it feels SOOO good to stop! I was on hiatus for quite some time because  every time I turned around the last 3 years I was pregnant. Such a blessing and while I miss my big round belly, it is time to get my body back! SO, now that I am NOT with child and after running the half marathon with my sister I have been running every morning at 5 am with my Dad and his cross country team.  So, not only do I have to get up with Paxton in the middle of the night, I am also up at 4 am to feed him quickly so he doesn't wake while I am gone, get ready and bolt out the door to be at practice by 5 am.  E.X.H.A.U.S.T.E.D but so worth it.  It's next to impossible to get a work out done in the evenings around here with a husband and three kids to tend to.  So, mornings are really my only option and it feels so good to have it out of the way. I don't think about it all day and that is such a relief. Tonight though the wee hours have caught up with me and I am going to hit the sack, I just wanted to check in and let you know that we are here and doing well.  I had the most amazing thing happen to me today and I just cannot wait to share it with you, but it's not something I want to rush writing so I will update tomorrow at nap time! Please check back in.   Night all!
