Today it hit me why I really run or should I say try to run. When I came home from the group run tonight, Chase asked me, "Mommy, are you fast yet?" I replied, "I'm getting faster each time!" He was so proud. You could see it in his eyes. He tells everyone he meets that his mom is training for the marathon. He doesn't quite get the difference between the whole and half and I've given up on trying to explain it to him. Sweet thing, he thinks I am going to win the race! I love the way that he looks at me when I come through the door all sweaty and out of breath after a work out. That is the way I want him to see me living my life. ACTIVE and HEALTHY! I have been overweight and inactive for too long. I want to be an example for my children. I want them to lead healthy and active lifestyles that include exercise. I hope that by training for this half marathon, the boys can see that exercise can and is FUN!
