I am a runner even though I've only run once in 4 weeks and only a handful of times this entire year. The reason I still consider myself a runner is because ten thousand times per day I think about running. Well, I don't necessarily think about the actual act of running but I constantly tell myself how idiotic it is of me to not be running. If I added up the hours that I mentally beat myself up for not running, and spent that time actually moving my legs I would of completed at least a few marathons by now.
I am planning to run the Portland marathon in October but my scheduled training is still only scheduled because I haven’t chosen to make it reality. The last thing I want to do after having being away from Isabella all day is put her in the gym kids club for another hour after I get off work. But then if I leave her at home with Chris, they have so much fun that I want to stay home with them. It’s just this vicious cycle that ends up with me not running. Maybe someday I’ll figure out how to balance everything. If you have any miraculous tips please let me know!

Find a jogging stroller fast!
I know, I definitely need one. The reason I haven't gotten one is because I've talked to people at they gym and the good ones are $350-400 (or so they say). I am afraid I wouldn't use it because there are so many hills around our house. I have a hard time WALKING and pushing a stroller up some of these hills! Maybe I'll find one on craigslist or something!
I told you when you were pregnant that I would buy one for you....you silly! Let's go to Portland Running Co. on Sat and buy the one they have there. Then I can use it for taking her running when she spends the night on the weekends. Oh, you could also ask Annie if she still has the one that I used for Jen. Let's go buy a new one!
