Running like crazy....

I thought I would also update any interested parties in the progress of my challenge and running. I have made it to my goal weight, which I will not disclose, but let's just say it is what I weighed in high school. I have lost so many inches I cannot even count and I have dropped right at 2 sizes. I still love my running and the training is awesome. I will run the 10K (6.1 miles) Aug 23rd in Dallas and I am still not sure when I will take a stab at the half marathon(13.1 miles). I think sometimes I want to do it this fall, but Chris thinks I should take it show and aim for the spring. He just wants me to take it all in stride so I don't get burned out or get hurt. I know he is right, I just get too ambitious sometimes. I ran 8.5 miles on my long run last week, and I am thinking maybe this week I could push my long run to about 9.5. I am trying to increase slowly to avoid injury. I am logging around 20 miles a week right now. If I did not have kids, I think I would be obsessed with running. I just get this feeling when I am out there like no other. It is my true passion, something that is just for me and nobody else. Chris has been great thoughtout this process too. I don't know if I thank him enough, but he is great. He offers suggestions, prices running gear, and asks how my runs are. Now, rather he really wants to know or not, I tell him. He may be bored hearing it, but he actually listens and praises me. So nice to share it with someone. I honestly feel like I will one day run a marathon(26.2 miles). Some may say I am crazy...I say...probably so....
