It's been three years now since I ran in the Canyonlands Half Marathon in Moab, Utah. I am embarrased at how little I've run in the past two years. I miss it. I used to love starting my day with a nice long run while I was training and even for several months after. Recently Brian (who has been better than me about working out lately) signed up to run in a 10k next month. So, last night we went running (me for the first time in MONTHS) and I was surprised at how far I could actually go. 3.1 miles in 30 minutes! Granted it was on a tredmill which is SO not the same as running outside but still, it felt great. We used to run together when we first got married and it's great to get back into that. We'll keep you posted as race day gets closer.
As proof that I really did run a half marathon I have posted the picture below. I know I look AWFUL in it but I would imagine I look better than some people would after running 13.1 miles. The girl next to me is my friend who trained with me. It was nice to have a running partner!

Congratulations on getting started again. Good luck to Brian. Working out does get pushed to the side when you're married, and even more so when you have a kid. Keep it up!
Wow, well done Lindsey on the half marathon! And good luck to Brian. The longest race I've ran is a 5 K at BYU. And I was so pleased with myself for doing it! You are my heroes!
I remember when you were training. You were pretty intense. Good for you for getting back into it. I have started really getting back into running lately. It is pretty sad, but at least I am doing it. I love reading about what is going on with you on your blog.
Looking good Linz! I could be your running buddy if you moved to Utah...just think about it. Family first!
