Jen Update

I thought I would explain my crazy new adventure of running a marathon! Yes I am going to do it, all 26.2 miles. And let me tell you, if I can do it anyone can do it. It is funny to look back and see where it all began. I started by running one mile without stopping around the track, after Tatum was born and it nearly killed me. Now I probably put in between 20-25 miles a week. I have been training now for a little over four weeks now. We use a free training program on www.halhigdon.com, we run t/w/th and long runs on sat. There are two girls in my ward that are training with me. I absolutely love running... it is weird to say that, and you probably all think I am crazy, but I have found it to be one of the most fulfilling things I do.It is great to have my own time to run and free my mind from the day to day stresses of life. Well I will keep everyone updated and maybe I'll talk someone into doing the Pf chang marathon in January!!

Yea Jen! At first I thought you were crazy for doing the 1/2 marathon, but now you are my inspiration for doing one. Maybe after baby #2 I'll do a full one... we'll see. Good luck!

Go Jen!! Go Jen!! Seriously.. you make the rest of us look bad with all your running! If I continue my running almost every night maybe I'll be up for the 1/2 marathon with you in January. But no promises! I easily get bored so lets see what happens. :) wink wink

Hey, funny you should mention it, I am coming into town this next week. No hubby, just me and baby. I'll be there Tue-Thu. What shall we do?

Heidi said...

Jen, Check out http://shabbytulips.blogspot.com/ ...they have some cute backgrounds that I think are pretty easy to use or else they have instructions on how to make one with your own papers.. I haven't looked at it yet but my sister and a some other friends used it .. yours it already cute too though! I didn't move too far away (only a few minutes) so we should get the girls together to play sometime, I bet they would love that!

Justin & Jenn-

I found you guys on Micaela's page. How are you two? Your two little girls are precious! It has been forever since I have seen you guys. Check out our blog if you'd like. I'd love to keep in touch with you guys. Hey, also do you know how to get in contact with Jacy. Email or phone number? I have been trying to track that girl down forever. Talk to you soon.
