Out with it

OK, OK, so, I've been keeping a secret from y'all (no, not pregnant!) (and if my doctor asks me that one more time I will scream) (although my husband thought it would be rather ironic if I did get pregnant while training for a marathon. Guess what? Three down and still no babies!) (ok, enough talk about my unborn children. For now) (babies!)

OK--the big secret (and some of you already know--that's because I can't keep a secret, obviously).

Running has officially taken over my life.

No big surprise, huh? Well, it really, really has! In a few short weeks I will be starting a new job in which I get to jibber jabber about running all the live long day. If that's not perfection in job form, then I don't know what is (false, I do know what is: getting paid to watch The Office, blog and eat cookies all day long) (I'd weigh 10,00 lbs but who cares? I'd be happy as a little clam).

With my husband's employment situation (or lack thereof) it is rather ironic that I found a job whilst he and sis in law are still at home eating BonBons on a daily basis (kidding of course) (or am I? You never can tell with those two). But, nonetheless, having a happy me makes the hours I am home that much better and I probably won't try to attack the sis in law when she bakes banana bread anymore (because angry little me ate all the banana bread and gained 10 lbs, this was obviously my darling sis's fault) (only it was mine).

I'm still the breadwinner of the casa (for now) and pleased as punch about this new opportunity.

Thanks to those of you who kept me in your thoughts throughout this process, I truly appreciate it.

Now, just so you all know, my primary goal from here on out (besides getting everyone to move to Dallas) is to get y'all to sign up for our races. D-A-R already did (because she's awesome)--you should too! (I'm looking at you Sara...Chicago Half.....)

And if my life wasn't hectic enough, tomorrow I'm off to Atlanta for the ING Georgia Marathon. For work. Not running it. Cannot even think of running right now.

But I really want to. My legs are itchin' to move. Until they do and then I'm reminded that I ran 26.2 miles of hills the other day. Shocking.

Ahh how I want to run! OKC is so, so close!

Happy running, friends!
