7 mile Sunday

Well I did 7 miles again this Sunday, confirming it wasn't just a one time deal. But I gotta say it was hard, it really was. I was kinda skittish with the recent foot pain, I taped my arch and it and my heel were fine but instead I encountered a brand new type of foot pain. Oh goody- at about mile 5; it did go away though and I wasn't unduly sore the rest of the day or yesterday. I am very anxious to get my new shoes though. And on the 10 mile race, it's still on my mind. I haven't committed yet but I  have put together a 6 week training program for myself that would gradually increase my long run by 1/2 mile a week and get be up to 10 by the race day. Just need to decide if I want to commit to the race fee, the long drive (2.5 hours) to and from the race and the possibility that I my significant others support may extend only to watching the kids that day and not include coming with me, cheering me on, taking pictures ( I have NO running pics) I don't know lots of stuff to think about.
Okay just a quick post because my little one is under the weather and requesting mommy.

10 miles???

I found a 10 mile race nearby (well relative term) under 3 hours away which is kinda nearby since we live in the middle of nowhere. It is only 6 weeks from now......so far I'm only up to 7 miles. Can I do it? Should I do it? Will the husband be supportive?? Lots to think about.

Wow I'm one of THOSE bloggers.

Okay so it's been over a month since I posted. Great I'm one of those bloggers- you know the ones you try to follow but they never update. So sorry all I can say is starting a blog in Aug/Sept was a really bad idea. As in what the hell was I thinking. It's my busy season, yeah I know I'm a SAHM but I have a grade-school kid, a BIG yard, garden to deal with, canning, jam making etc. So I have been busy, and logging lots of miles etc, etc. And spending a bunch of my free evening time reading other blogs rather than updating my own. So still lots of stuff going on. Apples on our trees will be ripe soon (yeah fresh applesauce) when the first frost hits- green tomato salsa canning will begin,  baby boys 4th birthday is in 9 days.  Halloween and maybe homemade costumes are looming. But things should kinda be winding down soon. I will attempt to do better and try to post a few day a week at least. At this point I'm pretty sure I'm talking to myself so no worries ;)
