It's been awhile!


So we fell off the bandwagon already.

Lori speaking: Hi again, miss me?  Clearly I haven’t been around for a while, but life gets busy! 
I think you last heard from me over a month ago, soon before we ran our half marathon the end of October.  The good news is that we made it!  We finished our half marathon in 2:17:58 – we’ll take it!  We ran the entire half marathon, minus a couple of walking breaks at water stations.  I have an uncanny ability to make a running event feel like a swimming event by accidentally pouring water up my nose when I try to run through water stations.


We ended the half marathon feeling sore but otherwise good.  Logan was able to run without foot pain (well, besides what is probably normal given he ran 13.1 miles) which made us very excited.  



Since then we have kept up our running.  I haven't ran more than 5 miles since the half marathon in an attempt to allow some pesky shin splints to fully heal before we begin training again in February.  I hope to start picking up some bigger miles before training begins, but with the holiday season approaching it may be difficult to stick by that statement.

Winter running is in full swing now!  I am a huge chicken when it comes to running outside in the cold but only because I am nervous about running on ice.  The cold itself feels great so far - although I have yet to experience any running under 20 degrees so that may change.


Even though we have been neglecting you for a while, I have some posts for you guys in the works.  At least one of which will be spent talking about kicks!


While Logan had to give up his FiveFingers shoes before the half marathon due to his foot injury, I ran the whole thing in mine.  I love my FiveFingers and still plan to do a lot of my shorter training runs in them, however, I have also started doing a lot of running in Brooks PureConnect since the half marathon.  So in the near future I hope to give you guys a little more insight into why I am switching things up and how I feel about the new shoes.

Question of the day:  Do you have any questions for us since we fell off the planet in October?
