Take me out to the Ball Game

Greg and his buddies play in a city Baseball league. This is his 5th season out here and it's always fun to watch him play. Wait, I take that back. It's fun to go to the games and I love the moments I do get to see him in action. Unfortunately, I spend most of my time chasing little boys. They're team is pretty good this season, It can't hurt that most of the teams they play are drunk by the second game! Greg plays 3rd base and left center. He is really good and the other night I say he hit a Home run, He is modest and says it was a triple, that was overthrown for the homer. Whatever- He is great. I enjoy playing with the boys and chatting with the other wives that are there. Behind the field is a playground for the kiddos. I got some video of the boys running and sliding themselves, just a different kind of slide!

Okay- I'm sorry, but I have to brag for a moment here, not totally to brag, but I am just in shock! So I've talked about running this half marathon in October, but as it was coming closer I was starting to chicken out. I'd only been running 4-5 miles and I didn't feel mentally or physically prepared. I want to have a fun experience with the half, and not be miserable the whole time. Well, I couldn't give up and my friend Kirsten and I decided to just go for it and see what happens. So, Thursday we ran 7 miles and yesterday we ran 10! I can't believe it! ME , ex-chubby, ice cream loving, mommy of two ran 10 miles! It's so fun to have a friend to share it with, we just chatted the whole time and I almost didn't notice what we were doing. I am so pumped and now I can't wait for the race, especially because we still have a few weeks to fine tune and really get ready. I already feel such a sense of accomplishment. We really did run/jog the entire time. I didn't know that was possible for me, it's so fun! We'll see what race day will bring...
