Wish I Was Running

So today was the Salt Lake City Marathon. I can't BELIEVE it's already been an entire year since I ran it! Wow! That's so amazing to me. In fact, I'll admit, I teared up a little watching the video of me at the finish line. Oh, how I miss it! I have a bunch of my online friends who were running the half this morning. I can't help but feel a little sad that I wasn't out there running today too. But I've decided to make it a goal to run the Ogden marathon again NEXT year on my 30th Birthday! Marathon #3 on my 30th--sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Every time I see a runner, I have a sudden pang of longing to be out doing it myself. As the weather gets warmer (and I get bigger!) I just want to run! Not too many more weeks, though, and that will be me out there again!

I too have been a little sad today wishing I was running 26.2! I think your 3rd on your 30th is a great goal! Good luck with that new little baby...just a few more weeks, huh?

You'll be back! (imagine Arnold Schwartzenager' voice here) I'm gearing up for my 1st 5K... Can't even wrap my brain around 26 miles! Hang in there!

I envy your loving to run!! However, I think you're plain crazy! :) Valerie ran the 5k and I think she's crazy also! I can't believe you are only a couple weeks away! I'm very excited for you!

I tear everytime thinking about it. When Maria finished her 50 miler a few weeks ago, I was so sad and cried a little. I love the SLC marathon so much. Hope to run it again someday. I am running my 8th marathon on Sat. The Ky Derby marathon. Then on June 13th I am doing the Bear Lake marathon... Jenny, her bubby, Frances and I think Maria are running the half. Fun Fun Fun....

Just do a few jumping jacks when that urge hits Becky...then you'll remember why you're not as inclined to run :) And that's coming from me :)
Check bbc, I have a little plan for you...whahahaha!!!

Hmmm. I'm not going to lie and say I wish I was running the marathon too. But I'm proud of you for wanting to! :)

The pictures of Easter are great! your kids have grown so much since I last saw them! I bet they are excited to see their new little sister!

You'll be back soon enough, I'm sure of it. I am so excited for you to have that baby. I hope you are doing well! I think your baby belly is adorable! :)

I know the longing for running. I am training for my first 1/2 in June. We have a Barney reunion on June 27th from 2-7. Hope to see you then.
