First things first, I ran a marathon. I finished the Air Force Marathon somewhere around 5:30 with my good friend, Mandi. It was so nice to have that much time to chit chat --why would we want to run fast!?
Then I ran the Missouri Cowbell half marathon. It was tough, just 2 weeks after the AFM and not a whole bunch of water stations...
Last week, I raised all my money to donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I'm quite disappointed with them though; they promised that we would have shirts for MCM and that they would be shipped soon enough that we could train in them....here it is, the week of the marathon, and I don't have mine yet. I certainly won't have time to get it personalized with Rylie's name on it and if it doesn't fit, I guess I'm S.O.L.
In other news, my surrogacy journey began today! My Intended Parents arrived yesterday and we finally got to meet in person, though we've spoken a lot since early this year on the phone and over email. We'll find out by November 9 if I am running with a "Baby on Board" shirt or registering for the Flying Pig Marathon...
