I am going to start this blogging thing for those of you who care to check out what's going on in our lives. I have put Travis' name on here though I doubt he will EVER actually write up a blog. I will do it for him though.
We just got back from a great trip to Boston. I ran my first Boston Marathon and boy was it ever an experience. The course was the hardest I have yet experienced in my "marathon/half marathon" career. After training in Florida since last August on flat terrain, the downhills (not the uphills!) really got me. I was so glad to finish I just had to sit on the concrete for awhile.
I am planning to go back next year to better my Boston time, and of course will be running some more marathons and halfs in between. I have already promised my good friend Charles we will be running a half in Atlanta soon. We're trying to convince Kelly to do it with us. These boys refuse to run a full with me and I can't figure out why. Oh well. I will just have to join the road runner's club to find some running buddies.
On another note- I am almost finished with my first year of teaching kindergarten! It has been tough but my assistant principal has reassured me that if I can teach at this school I'll be able to get a job anywhere...and it will be easy. I am very much looking forward to that.
I have only one more class to take and I will be DONE with my permanent teaching certificate. It feels great b/c I've done it all since January. Then I will begin working on another certification- high school biology. I really want to get back to an area that I love more and I think this will allow me that. Not only that I can coach cross country or something like that! What fun.
Pictures of Boston to come!
