And it continues

Temperatures are FINALLY starting to drop in the south so it isn't quite as miserable to run as it was initially. One morning last week I was actually cold (*gasp* did I really just say that?) when I got finished running! Granted, it was 5:00 in the morning so there was still a little chill in the air. It is still pretty warm most days but much more bearable than the 100 degree summer runs. I think I'll probably go get some cool weather gear soon. Shorty shorts and tanks just aren't going to cut it much longer!

Now that I am looking into running the marathon in February, I will probably have to adjust my schedule quite a bit. There are several different programs that I could run but I am pretty comfortable with the one I am using now. There is a program that is designed to only have one long run day whereas the program I am on now has two potentially long run days each week. I think I'm just going to stick with the one that I am on for now and switch later on as things get closer. I may just stay with this program for the half-marathon and then go to the other program for the full marathon. Before I switch anything though, I have to figure out if I am even going to run the full marathon!

Aside from running, life is pretty much sailing along like always. It is hard to believe that in just a few months Bodie will be 2! It seems like just yesterday John and I were still DINKs (Double Income, No Kids) and now we're all wrapped up in parenthood. I absolutely wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Bodie's word of the month is Tank eeewww. (Thank you - for those of you unfamiliar with toddler speak.) He has the sweetest little manners and says tank eeewww after almost everything. He has a fascination with birds right now (buurr - toddler speak again) and loves to watch them. And, he loves to help put on shoes - his, mine, John's, anyone's. He's getting so independent already! John took some great pictures of him last night that he still has to proof. As soon as they are done, I'll post them!

Have a great week, everyone!
