Hi Everyone!
Hope you all are having a fantastic spring! The weather has been beautiful here in Philadelphia lately and outdoor runs are becoming more of a reality for me. Our twins are almost seven months old, incredibly, and we are planning on taking them along with our two year old to WDW in June for a week. We had our two year old daughter at Hershey Park today and she absolutely flipped out with excitement! I can't wait until she gets to Disney this time!
I am trying to convince my wife, who is not a runner, to walk the WDW Half Marathon with me in 2015. She is primarily walking for her workouts and is down 35 pounds since she started working out and dieting in January. She's actually down almost 50 pounds since the twins were born but she keeps telling me that it doesn't count because that was all baby weight. I don't know, I'd count it!
Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend and getting out and running or just getting outside for the weather! Have a great week, everybody!

Happy Monday Ducks! Long time, no quackin' from me, I know.
The past month has been a wee bit of a roller coaster. I think my last post I told how I was getting an MRI and then seeing my orthopedic doc for my posterior tibial tendonitis. I did that and the news from that doc was pretty awful...his exact words were: "Your running days are over". I got that news the morning after the Boston Marathon bombings, it wasn't a good day.
I decided to get a second opinion. I saw my new doc this past Friday and this appt went much better. My running days are definitely NOT over. I begin physical therapy this Wednesday. And if it goes well I may be able to start running again in 1-2 months!

Brandon~Congratulations on the half PR! Woohoo! Congrats to your DW and DSIL too!
That's great about the 5K too, and how cool about that Marine seeing you.
Jennie~It's never bad to want to buy a new running skirt! heehee
How fun you're doing the Glass Slipper Challenge! I won't be doing that one, I will envy all the cute bling!
Phil~Awww y'all are going to have such fun in WDW in June! Little ones are so adorable experiencing it all. I feel like our days of going there with little ones was so recent, but my youngest is 7 now. Time flies!!
Your wife is doing awesome, I hope she does the half with you in 2015, it would be a great experience for her!
I am SO glad you got a second opinion! And I'm glad your new doc is much more promising! Prayers you heal quickly and are back in your shoes!
I decided I'm going to try out a Sparkle Tech for my new running skirt. DH is going to the field for training soon, which means my grocery bill goes waaaay down with just me and my 3 year old, so there's the skirt money!
Now I just need to hope they do early registration for Visa cardholders. I don't think AP vouchers count for AP early registration.
Thank you!
I don't have any Sparkle Skirts, but I do have some Team Sparkle skirts. I haven't run in them yet...bought them for Dumbo and Dopey! They are so cute though. Can't wait to try them out.
It's the weekend everyone! Who's got a race coming up?
