Am I Crazy?

So, I have decided to train for and run in the LA Marathon next May! WHAT?!? As a kid I watched my mom run in a few marathons and someday wanted to do one myself. But the last few years I have thought what a crazy thing to want to do. Before I had my first baby Lincoln I was in the best shape of my life after completing "Body for Life". Since then I haven't had the motivation to get my body back so when my mom told me she was going to run in the LA Marathon I thought what better motivation could I have to get back in shape than to run a marathon.  They ususally have the marathon on a Sunday but next year it is on May 25th a Monday! Yeah!! So if there is anyone else interested in joining in this madness it would be fun. Also the Iron Girl Triathlon in Las Vegas is on May 9th next year, SO FUN!!! Everyone should do at least one triathlon in their life, they are so fun!!
I was checking out training programs online for the marathon and this novice program seemed pretty good!

You're not crazy. I think it is awesome. If I had time to train, I would do it with you. I hope you will want to do it again, cause I would like to try to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Have Fun!

Just a little crazy, haha! I have always felt the same way. I've wanted to run one, since my Dad has, but can't motivate myself. Doing it with your Mom should help. I would love to do the triathalon, but have no idea how to swim train. They have marathons in lots of fun places also, like Disneyworld, Hawaii, DC. Well Good Luck!

You're awesome. I've only run halfs and I have no desire for a full marathon. However I do want to do a triathlon. Are you doing it? Is it the one you did last year??

Well hopefully I can get my butt in gear and do it with you!!! I ran a half marathon and after I finished I said something like, there is no way I will ever do a marathon, that was crazy enough for me. Anyways, since LA is on a Monday, why not try to do it, and Brett really wants to do a marathon ever since his dad did one. Really, I'm more of a triathlon girl. They are the most fun. Good Luck Sophi!

We got a special treat for Easter!

No it's not the bunny lollipops! Uncle Norris and Aunt Brenna!! We got to spend Easter morning with them before they left on their cruise!! Papa made Mount O Eggs, which was as always unbelievable!! It was sprinkling a little bit so the Easter bunny was running a little late but he showed up eventually. Having contractions off and on all day today. Totally thought I was going to have an Easter baby. Went out to Aunt Ruth and Uncle Randy's house for dinner! Had a fun time goofing off with all the cousins and family, it's always fun when we all get together!! We are so blessed to have such a large wonderful family! We have our issues as any family does but I love it!! Why do we celebrate Easter? I believe the testimony of one who, in this dispensation, spoke with the Father and the Son in a grove now called sacred and who gave his life, sealing that testimony with his blood. Declared he: “And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of hi...

Proud mommy moment

Lincoln read his first whole chapter from the book of Mormon this evening. Alma chapter 29. I love verse 1, which says... "O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I may go forth and speak with the trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people!" I LOVE my children, they are remarkable, amazing little spirits and I am grateful I have the privilege to be called their mother I just pray that I can live worthy of that holy calling. What a gift I need to treasure. Love my sweet babes, you are beautiful through and through!! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
