I am not Superwoman

I've been sick...like really sick with a horrible cold. Actually, the whole house has it and let me just say it has been awful!! I made myself rest as much as I could during the week while still taking care of a very sick little man. So I didn't run since last Saturday.
Well, I got up super early like I do every Saturday morning to meet my running coach and running buddies thinking I'd be just fine since we were only scheduled to run 3 miles. I got all bundled up with my ear warmers, fleece and gloves. However, I was not factoring in that is was really flipping freezing out (actually below freezing, a lovely 29°. Ugh!!) or that I had all sorts of gunk in my head and chest still. So right around the 3 mile mark I got pale and woozy and almost passed out. I forget that even though I can push my body to the limit sometimes I am in fact NOT Superwoman.
On the plus side, I got to try out my new Garmin Forerunner that my wonderful hubby got me for Christmas. I love it! If you don't have one already, I highly recommend it. It's so easy to track your workouts :)

Another year come and gone...

So, another New Year is just around the corner. It seems like this past year has just flown by! There have been so many amazing moments that we've experienced in 2012 and I'm kicking myself in the butt for waiting so long to get my blog going so I can catalogue all the fun we have on a day to day basis. 
Hense, this first blog post. I am taking the leap and starting to blog for the new year. 
Here are some of my favorite moments of 2012...and a look into my crazy fun life!! 
Not only did I have another wonderful little boy but I ran my first 5K, started training for my first half marathon,  took our oldest on his first "real" vacation and strengthened friendships that I truly treasure. I can honestly say that 2012 will be hard to beat but I am looking forward to the year ahead.
