2016 Marathoners?

[NeuroCindy]

Hi Everyone!

Yes I know it's early to be thinking about 2016, but I'm eyeing one of the half-marathons. Anyone with me? If so, do you run already? I used to run, but completely fell out of it, battled with depression, and gained a butt-load of weight. Here's to getting back at it!

I am hoping to make it to Marathon weekend in 2016 too! I did the Princess Half in 2013 and had hoped to do the marathon in 2014 but had to defer due to illness. The winter of 2014 was horrible so I wasn't really able to run much. I became pregnant in the spring and am now almost 26 weeks pregnant so no running. I have been walking about 45 min 3 times a week but have serious envy whenever someone runs past me.

I feel like a house and can't wait until spring when I can start to regain some fitness. I gained about 20lbs last winter before coming pregnant due to being stuck indoors and stress so combine that with whatever pregnancy weight I will have left I will have an uphill battle ahead of me.

We can work on it together! Do you know if you're having a boy or a girl? Is this your first baby?

We are having a little boy We also have a daughter who will be 10 in Oct. It has been so long since we have have a newborn/infant in the house I think I might be underestimating how tough it will be. I am hoping between DH and DD helping out during training I will be able to get some runs in, but I know it's it going to be hard to get out the door some days.
