Take Three

Yup, I'm back. Over a year and almost a half since my last post. I'm newly 24. My little tiny kitten is now a year and a half, but still acts like a little baby. I am no longer serving but went back to school- for Massage Therapy (this experience will be saved for a later post). I moved back home to save money while at school and am currently awaiting for my license to become active so I can begin working full time. In the last 4 weeks, I've been rewatching Friends, training at my new job, helping my mom out with her blog, 365 Days of Baking and More, and probably most importantly marathon training.

Tyler texted me over Christmas and said she was moving back in with her parents and was planning on training for a marathon. Coincidentally, my parents moved to a house a street away from hers. It was perfect timing because I'd be able to start training while still in school and then have 8 weeks after I graduated to continue training. Right now, tomorrow marks a month out from that first 26.2 for the both of us. I'd say training has gone pretty well for us considering we both started with little training base and had never run over 13 miles before. Our farthest is 18 after the planned 19 this past weekend didn't happen because we got lost on a trail but the views were great.

From now until the marathon I'll write some updates but being an amateur marathoner, I won't be offering any advice. I've also committed to the Tone It Up Bikini Series. This will be the third time I've attempted it and the first time I plan on completing it. I've even made an Instagram account for this new endeavor (runfitlex) to which I've also decided to rename this blog to. I loved the ring that "For the Love of Running" had, but had found out the name had already been taken. I always come back to running and love following the journey of other women in the sport. I'm excited to be back to spending my free time with this new hobby. I must have really liked it before if I came back to it. So here we go, for a third time!
