I was hoping to get on here earlier this week but it just did not happen. 

First I will talk about my Half Marathon on March 16th (I think that was the date) It was the Get Lucky Half Marathon. It was a cold and icy race. I believe that it had sleeted the night before. In fact I almost got hit by a car trying to get to the race who had hit the ice. Anyway, it made for rough race conditions. But this half marathon was my slowest one yet :( I finished in 2:29. But I did not train nearly as well as I should have. I was just not very motivated to train. But the good news is it has lit a fire underneath my running butt and I am kicking my training into high gear by working on my speed. 

Over the course of running training/running my marathon. I ended up gaining 10-15 lbs. I just figured I could eat whatever I wanted because I was running a marathon. This is not the case. So in January I joined the Biggest Loser Competition at work. I lost 8% of my body weight and 15lbs. I won the competition and $160!! It is a nice feeling to be back where my body is the happiest :)

But the thing that has thrown the most crazy into my life is we SOLD our house!!! :-) We sold it around the last weekend in March. So we had a couple of weeks that we were crazy busy trying to find a new house. It was stressful waiting to see whether or not we were going to get the house we wanted. But we did. There were a couple of offers but they chose ours. So now comes the work of moving, painting and updating the new house to what we like. Needless to say I have become even more addicted to Pinterest.

The weekend we are closing on our house I am running Minneapolis Marathon Relay. So that will be a crazy weekend but I am looking forward to a new running adventure with friends! 

I will keep you update on how that goes and hopefully I will be on here more but I will not make any promises especially not until we move.

It is has been a long time since I of been here. I just have been super busy and I had times where I was like you know I should blog and I just was not feeling it. So I passed I always said this whole blogging thing was for me and if I was not feeling it I was not going to do it.

There has also not been much going on the past month. I have been staying active. I started boot camp at my gym (which I love). I have been doing my best to keep up with running. But my back has been teaching me a lesson. It has been teaching me that stretching is important and if I do not do stretch my back will not be my friend. So I have been struggling with that.

But other than that I have been keep up with my Half Marathon Training. My next race is March 16th. So I am doing my best to prepare for that. Other than that It has been pretty quiet around here. I just keep on running through life and I am enjoying the journey :)
