hi -- this is sarah.
i've run twice since i joined this party, and, according to my original plans, i should've run five times by now.
today should be my 6th time.
oops. i'm a tad behind.
there is still hope for today (if landon would come home!), but isn't it funny how schedules don't really go the way you plan when you have a 5-week old and a 19-month old?
indeed.
i'm writing this post to say that i'm not going to let the hiccups in my schedule keep me from this goal. i always have best laid plans on paper when it comes to getting my body healthy, but the second something comes up, i abandon the ship altogether.
i'm determined not to let that happen this time.
i'm NOT going to beat myself up too much when a day goes by that i was "supposed" to run, but i didn't. i AM going to take every opportunity to get out there and do some training.
this may not be the conventional runner's way of training for a race.
it is this mom-of-two's way, however.
so, be encouraged if you are one who finds herself/himself in this situation. or if you haven't even started yet. just take it a day at a time, and run when you can. as jenny said, make it your goal to do something. anything.
if we can do that, we'll all cross this finish line.
i can't wait.

Thanks Sarah. I needed that. I'm a day behind in my c25k program and was really in the dumps about it.
Yes, thank you! I am in the same boat! It is hard when you have two small children and have to rely on someone else to watch them and your husband works until dark. I agree-I just run when I have the opportunity and that has to be enough. I have only run three times since the 7th, but did run farther on Monday (1.5 miles). Hey, it's something! You have to start somewhere. Thanks for the encouragement! Brianne
