Talk About Crazy...

While on our run this morning, in the pouring down rain might I add, Nickie and I started laughing about how it all started! We went from walking with our newborn babies in the strollers once a week to RUNNING at 5:30AM now Monday-Friday! What happened?? When did we turn crazy?
We literally started with the babies at a stroll and worked our way up to a good walking workout, but mostly we used to time to talk...vent..cry..laugh. We were new Mommies, we were scared to death that we were gonna screw up our babies for life!(still are, HA!) We would talk about how priceless having and child was, what a blessing. We would also talk about how hard it was and how no one could ever fully prepare you for that. How no matter what your "birth plan" may be, you better be prepared for things to take a turn. We would celebrate our milestones, holding heads up, rolling over, sleeping more than 3hr stretches! In all honesty, I would say that we saved each other in this time period. Sometimes your husband just doesn't understand, especially post baby! (and sometimes they're the one driving you crazy!!)
So that's how it all started! Then came the first 5K! And then the next..and the next...and the next..! And then the craziness really began! We signed up for the Cooper River Bridge 10K (less than 3wks!)in Charleston, SC. Well since were running a 10K we better start training! And why not do it a 5:30am? 3x and week...now 4x a week...right?!
I LOVE my running group! Some days its just two of us and some days its 5! But what better way to start the day! Even in the pouring rain.....
