In keeping with my goal of running every other day, I headed out yesterday for my 30 minute jaunt around the neighborhood. I felt good and ran the entire time. In fact, I averaged slightly over ten minutes per mile. It’s about time!!

My secret – now, not so secret - goal is to run almost the entire distance of my half marathon in May. I’m hoping that by keeping up with my half marathon training schedule, I can accomplish that goal. So far, so good.

Now, for the second part of this blog post - Just in the Nick of Time. I returned from my run feeling great. Chatted with my family and immediately went to the kitchen to get dinner in the oven. While I was seasoning the fish, sickness hit our house, AGAIN! This time my three-year old has the stomach bug. Poor guy!

Anyhow, had tried to run even an hour later, I would have missed my run for the day. Taking care of my little people is most important and I couldn’t have enjoyed myself if I knew one of my kids had a painful tummy bug. So, I got my run in – Just in the Nick of Time. Hopefully, everyone will be recovered in time for my Thursday afternoon run!
