Hello! This is my running blog. I have started this blog because I am trying to raise $10,000 for a non-profit organization called Of One Heart. You can read my first post to hear more about this organization. This blog will just tell the story of my training and also of my fundraising. Thanks for reading!

I'm an Aunt again!

Well, today was an exciting day.  I set out to run 10 miles in this lovely weather and about 20 minutes into it I got a call from my brother - his wife had just delivered their fourth child!  Very exciting!  His name is Linkin Isaiah, he is 8lbs 14oz:)  Mom and baby are doing great!

So I was successful with the ten mile run, it was actually a really nice day out!  Not very windy, a little snow, not icy.  I actually tried to run the 10 miles yesterday, but the wind was so bad I thought I would wait until today.  I am very glad I did - my breathing was right, my legs did not get sore, and it was just an awesome run.  My time was 1 hour 45 min. and 53 sec - this is not very good for me, I was hoping for less than 1:40...but that time does include the phone call from my brother - which I walked through - and a phone call to tell my husband the good news:)  I'm looking forward to getting into my training a little better now that the holidays are over - the extra cookies, cheesecake, wine, and homemade food does not help my time (or waistline) either!
