Ok, so not so much of an announcement as a multiple-choice exam with answer to follow later.
In January, I am going to:
A. Move to Rome with my family for the next 3 years.
B. Give birth to baby #3.
C. Run a half-marathon with my best friend (and Godmother of H, who is pictured above).
We made up our own 5K back in 2005 in honor of the conclave to elect a new Pope. I'm not saying we had anything to do with the successful election of Pope Benedict XVI in just 2 days and 4 ballots... but I wouldn't rule it out. :-)
So... guess away. I'll tell you by tomorrow.
UPDATE: The answer is... C! My best friend (D) and I are doing a half-marathon in January. I wanted to make an official announcement in order to motivate me to keep getting out 3 times a week to train. Thus, any plans for "B" have been put on hold until after the race because I'm so excited to have this as a goal in my life now for health, weight, and personal-sanity reasons, and "A" is always a future possibility, just not on that time frame. D and I are both doing the C25K program (that I said I was going to start back in October, but just actually committed to in May...) and I'm in LOVE with the iPhone app for it. It tells you when to run and when to walk! I play the Beach Boys Pandora station for motivation and the C25K app interrupts it to alert me when to get moving or slow down. In addition, I use the free Runkeeper app to track my distance, speed, and route. You can even talk on the phone and still hear the C25K app telling you what to do, without the other person on the phone hearing it.
Don't ask me how that works. I totally don't get it. I guess it's because the person on the line doesn't hear anything that from my earpiece, just through the mouthpiece. Hmm. Modern wonders, these newfangled gadgets!

I'm hoping for B!
ReplyDeleteMore babies! =)
ReplyDeleteYou're funny!
ReplyDeleteYou know I like the letter B - ALOT!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, trust me... every time I see a baby these days, I think that I want another one NOW far more than I want to run. Once this half-marathon is over, I will be READY for "B." You can count on that!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was B too, but C is also so fun! :) Good luck training!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, you fooled me!! :) But I am impressed!
