Yeah, I am running for fun

So I have commited to running the RAGNAR race/Wasatch Back.  Me, crazy me!  Even though I have been playing competitive sports my entire life- even now- I have NEVER ran for fun.  When I was in high school we had to run "tours" around the school for basketball conditioning-I HATED it!  I would rather run up and down the court with a ball shooting layups for an hour than run for 20 minutes around the school or even on the track.  Well, this last pregancy was real bumpy for me (lots of crap that put me high risk for uterine eruption) so I had to take it easy-the not-quite-bed-rest for about 3 months.  Now, that is very hard for me to do when I eat, sleep, and breathe working out, chasing my other kids, and am on the go all the time.  Even after the birth of baby Z I had to "relax" for 3 months (that's about 6 months total!)-I had some complications after the 4th c-section-so when September 10th arrived, and I was "cleared" for normal living, I took off running, literally.  I have a good friend that would run with me about 3x a week, at night after my 4 kids and her 5 were asleep.  Then winter set in and all the gunk that came with it, so we took some time off.  Elise-I dare say I am ready to take off again.  So anyway, I am going to be training for not only the RAGNAR, but I am also training for the Marathon Relay.  I am super excited to train for both, but also to run both with my good friend Carla and my sister-in-law Bradi.  Running is something I hope to maintain the rest of my life.  I always feel soooo good after a nice long run.  Plus, it's not bad in helping me lose the last of my baby weight, and to maintain my girlish figure!  Hee hee hee hee hee...  Now if I can only lay off the chocolate....
