Rock n Roll
I did it. I signed Greg and I up for the St. Louis Rock n Roll Half Marathon on October 23. I am not a stranger to those grueling 13.1 miles. I have walked 2 in the past...but I feel like people think it is no big deal to "just walk" a half marathon, when in all actuality, it is much, much harder and takes much, much longer! The last one I did was also when I was 19 weeks pregnant with Elliott! I have been working out pretty regularly for a good 4 months now, and I decided I needed a goal to keep me motivated. It helps to have my brother Andrew in town, because he is an avid runner and will keep me on my toes. We ran 4.1 miles together on Sunday, and while he was barely out of breath, it really helped me to keep going! Now, I just need to get Greg back on track, and we should be ready to go by the end of October. Happy running:)
