A Quick Blurb
Well, we have been really busy since coming home to Illinois. Just a quick update. The plane ride home was hell with security, but we made it through. Registered the kids for middle school. Yes, both are in middle school this year. Michaila joined the volleyball team and Nolan has gone out for cross country and soccer. School has started as well.
Today, Brian and I ran 10 miles. Just 3.1 miles short of the half-marathon. So, as long as we stay healthy, October 1 should be a doable feat. Our pace is steady. We did nine miles two weeks ago in 1 hour 36 minutes. This week we did 10 in 1 hour 47 minutes. We haven't been pushing at all - just doing the distance like all the training websites say to do. I think we could run faster, but I want to avoid the injury. We tried Jelly Belly sport beans and PowerBar Gel (ick!) and they seem to help with the stamina issue half-way through the long runs.
Otherwise, we are getting home projects finished before Brian leaves on 9/3.

Reality is setting in for me as we are preparing to leave on Friday! Waaaahhhhhh!!! Sounds like your training is going well. Mine has pretty much hit a stand still. I have only run about 5 times since I came home. Tell the kids that hopefully once we get back to Nevis they might see Julian on Runescape. Hopefully he will remember what to do. I still have the log in info. I'm really not looking forward to going back but the good thing is taht we're going home for Christmas!!! I'll talk to you later.
Danielle :-)
