A New Look, A New Blog

Hello, all!

I know it has been forever and a day since my last post. I'll do a quick up-date and then move right along.

News

We lost my grandpa a couple of months ago. It was very difficult for the whole family, but everyone agrees that it was probably his time. That is part of the reason that I have not written in a while. That was a very difficult and sad time.

Running

It's coming right along! I run my first 10-mile run today . . .and its raining like gangbusters! Knowing my running trainers, that won't matter. We do what we have to do and we run even in the driving snow. (I've done that a few times!)

My female trainer, Monica, has got me taking a prenatal vitamin in the morning and an iron supplement in the evening. We're getting into the serious training phase now and she absolutely wants to make sure I'm getting the vitamins I need. That means drinking lots of water, going on very long runs, and watching what I eat. It will be great for my figure but I get tired and spent at times! The marathon is only 5 months away!

Finishing Up the Masters

We're in the home stretch! I've started on the two of the last five credits I need to take! I'm doing my homework diligently. Now, I'm trying to convince my professors to be on my committee so I can graduate in July. We'll see how that goes!

Love
Elisabeth
