Chad and I have signed up along with some other friends to be a St. Jude hero and run in honor of baby Sam. We have been really moved by his situation and feel a bond with Sam--especially since Charlie is his age. I cannot imagine what our life would be like right now if we were taking Charlie down to St. Jude for chemo treatments. I am so incredibly thankful for the Grants faith and for what they are sharing with others during this trial they are enduring. Our team page for the half-marathon (or marathon for you other crazy people) is here.
As many of you know I've been training for the half-marathon since the summer. It seems like I've been running forever. I was trying to build to a 3-mile base before my official training plan started. It definitely took me longer than it has before---I'll blame that on just having a baby--rather than being wimpy! However, I've been running about 12 miles a week for a while now, so I'm ready to finally add miles this weekend and beyond. Pray for my knees--they aren't holding up too well and I certainly don't want to have to quit because of them. Aleve is my dearest friend at this point!!
A couple of weeks ago, Chad, the boys and I ran in a 5K. Chad pushed the boys in our double-jogger and we had a blast. It was the first time Charlie and Luke had ever participated in a run and Luke had a blast! He wore his Go Mommy Go shirt and cheered us on as we ran!
The boys all ready for the run!
Our running family!

I'm so impressed! Good job, you guys!
Good luck with your training; I am impressed with anyone that can run more than 1 mile at a time. I will also keep your friends in my prayers.
Oh my gosh, Miss! I'm so proud of you! 12 miles a week. Wow! I've been looking around for a used treadmill to put in my house so I can simply get in shape! Keep up the good work!
