A while back, my husband and I decided that we were ready to start trying for kiddo number two. Here we are over a year later, and still no luck. One of the doctors I saw suggested that I try losing weight (another issue that is related to this ordeal). I took up running to aid my weight loss.
Right now, I am comfortable running the paths in my neighborhood (which is a whopping three miles). I have to work in nine miles by this February. To answer my husband's question, again, yup, I'm crazy!
When I'm not running, I'm doing a lot of other things. I have degrees in culinary arts and food and beverage management; yes, I cook, a lot (seriously, have you ever seen a skinny chef?). I am also a writer (I write trashy romance novels). I'm a Mom, a wife, chauffeur, gardener, maid, plumber, carpenter.... everything that comes along with being a military wife- I am Mom and Dad at the same time. It's exhausting.
I have a four year old. That alone is the single most exhausting thing. In child birthing classes, they should have warned us about toddlers. My child has so much energy sometimes that she literally runs in circles. After a three mile run, just watching her run is too much for me.
So, I guess we're really doing this thing. I don't expect to win. Heck, I'll take last place, as long as we finish!
