Time for a little motivation: The Glass City Marathon

Helllo blog community it has been awhile. Seems like I just can't find the time to sit down and get a blog post done lately. And it seems as if life is fly by so quickly... heck, we are half way through February already! Anyways, after a few days of thinking it over I have decided to run the Glass City Marathon this year! We all remember the great love and support I had last year for Team Miller and all the great family and friends that came out to support me while running the marathon for Chris and Alpha Co. while they were deployed to Afghanistan last year. That was definitely the highlight of my year! Well homecoming probably topped that but the marathon was the best part of my year while Chris was deployed. Anywho, I didn't have much time to train last year juggling Audrey, school. work and Chris being gone so I finished that sucker in 4 hours and 45 mins... but hell, I finished it! And was welcomed by a swarm of Team Miller supporters wearing their red shirts and carrying flags! Amazing :)

Pre Marathon with some of the runners and supporters! 

This year with Chris home I want to do something different. First, I have no excuse not to really train for this sucker. Chris is home a lot on the weekends now and there is no excuse for me to not fit in long runs. Also, I want to give back to one of the organizations that was our biggest supporters during Chris' deployment. (More to come on this... I have to get this plan in order first) And sadly Chris will not be able to be at the marathon again this year due to military obligations he has on the day of the marathon. But he will be in the states and he will be in Ohio so I cannot complain :) So with about 10 weeks to get my butt in motion the Glass City Marathon will be here before I know it! Again this year in support of our troops!
