I'm running my fourth marathon this December. I ran three in 2003, the year after my divorce became final. I finished all three in under four hours. I've since gotten remarried and had another child (I have two from my first marriage), and life is absolutely wonderful! My baby is 9 months old and I started running again when he was 2-3 months old. I've whipped myself into shape fairly quickly despite being an old lady. This year I'm training to run a 3:45 marathon so I can bring my happy arss to Boston and run the marathon simply for the pure joy of running. Boston became my goal after I ran my 2nd marathon and realized I was nuts to be doing all this "just because." My husband thinks I'm nuts, and my older kids want to run with me but they're not quite old enough. I think I'm just happy. Running makes me as happy as can be and God willing, I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Are blogs supposed to make sense? I have a feeling this one doesn't. Oh well, it's my bedtime. I'll talk about my training schedule next time. Happy running!
