My half-marathon man

I have to wish a huge Congrats to my husband who ran the New Bedford half-marathon yesterday! Little H, my mom and I cheered him on at the 5-mile mark and after he crossed the finish line. He reached his goal of running it in under 2 hours... 1 hour and 58 minutes, to be exact. Since the farthest I've ever run is about 5.5 miles, I'm so impressed by his accomplishment. The weather was gorgeous, about 55 degrees and sunny... apparently it was a little warm for a 13.1 mile run (really? seemed like an ideal temperature, but all the runners were in shorts and t-shirts... and still extremely sweaty). But it was perfect for us spectators :)

Personally, I took a week off from running last week but continued to hit the gym for cross training, and at home I did pilates, yoga and weights. I was back running today, doing 3 miles on the treadmill. If watching hundreds of ridiculously in shape people run 13 miles doesn't motivate you, what will?!

Also, another incentive to run ~ a new purchase I made this morning, the BOB Revolution jogging stroller. It's something my husband and I have been talking about getting and I'm really looking forward to using! The weather is getting nicer and nicer, and we want to take advantage of running outside on the gorgeous days. So now I'll be able to do that during the week with Little H, and my husband and I can run together with him on the weekends. Although we don't have the stroller yet, we should be able pick it up sometime next week!
