It has been tough finding the time to run lately. The family has been super busy. I happily got my long run in on Sunday. It was cold, but sunny. I am still looking forward to spring though. I haven't been able to run since then and I don't think I will be able to run again until next Sunday. I don't see how I am going to be able to up my mileage to 6 miles. My legs felt like mush on Sunday just running 4 miles.
I need to somehow fit in some time to workout during the week. It has been hard with 3 little ones and work. I think I am going to find a babysitter that comes just when I need to run. It makes me nervous for the half marathon in May. I hope that I will be ready for it.

248 Days Away
I officially signed up for the Chicago Marathon today!!! Yeah!! I am really excited, but I have to wait 248 days to actually run it. I am excited though, so hopefully that excitement will stay with me for the next 9 months.
The kiddies have slowly been getting better so I didn't feel too guilty going out for a run yesterday and today. Yesterday's run was only a mile on the treadmill and today was two miles outside. Both went pretty well (really how hard can 1 mile be?). I am proud of myself for getting out there though. I always look for excuses to skip a run and I didn't let myself do it. I adjusted my schedule to allow for a run today because I know I won't get the chance tomorrow and I know I need to do that more often. I won't be able to keep a consistent schedule, I will need to adjust with my schedule. Being a Mom of three kids I will need to do that often.
This weekend is a family trip to the Wisconsin Dells so there shouldn't be a problem getting Fridays run in. Sundays long run might have to be on a treadmill (oh the horror!). I am pretty sure there is more snow on the ground up there compared to here so I will have to see if I can find a clear running path.
Hapy Running!
