Half way!

Well hello again! I promise my less than regular attendance on here has nothing to do with my progress on the current venture. It has more to do with the insane pace our life has been on this summer as is evident by the utter lack of food in my fridge/cabinets and the 4 diapers I currently have in my house.... I should probably figure out a time to go shopping......

Anyway! I have officially completed over half of the required distance! 7 miles to be exact! That in itself is mind- boggling to me. If you would have told me six months ago I would be able to keep my body in a continuous forward motion for 7 miles I would have LOL-ed at you while sitting on my duff watching TV. Not to say I still don't have my duff sitting- TV watching moments but much more of my time is now put into training, which I'm going to take as a good sign! Building on that success, I'm now more determined to run the Grand Rapids 1/2 in October to get an accurate measure of the time it's going to take to actually go 13.1 miles. That way if I'm ridiculously slow, I have 3 months to either bust my butt and get my time where it needs to be or just maintain. I have until August 15th to decide on the GR 1/2, after that the price goes up and I'm cheap. Someone talk some sense into me! (Or just kick my butt into signing up now, I'm good with both options)

So that's where we are at now! I'm fairly happy with the progress I'm making and I'm hoping to keep it up! I'm working on a couple posts dedicated to my recent introduction to farm-fresh food from the CSA program I joined this year and my ongoing obsession with our local farmer's market. Preview: Farm fresh lettuce kind of blew my mind with it's awesomeness.

Counting down 226 days to race day, we can do this!
