The one with the tattoo…

Posted on February 25, 2013 Updated on February 25, 2013

We are here…. settled in and enjoying the sunshine in good ole Fort Myers. It is hard to believe that this is our 8th spring training! Glen is good… arm is great… feels ready to go. We will only be in FL for about 2 more weeks before we head out to AZ, then Miami, and hopefully San Fran for the World Baseball Classic. Glen was honored to be asked to play for Team USA and we are excited to tag along an be a part of all of it. It will be a lot of travel but I am hoping it will be worth it!

I spent the morning looking up fonts for my new tattoo… yep…. I am getting another tattoo (much to my husbands schgrin) but not until June. To be honest I LOVE tattoos and would probably have sleeves if Glen would let me. I find them so fascinating… they tell your story with you saying a word. But since my hubby is a bit of a conservative when it comes to that stuff I am stuck compromising on every tattoo I get (which I lose so I dont get any more)… but this one is a BIG DEAL to me. I will be getting it after I complete my first full marathon in June. To be honest- running a full marathon has been on my bucket list since I was like 14… I have been fascinated with pushing your body past its breaking point. I know for a lot of family and friends and a few of you reading this- you have already done one and think this is silly but for me this is big…. and I am going to forever remember the one thing that has always been on my bucket list… now I just have to pick a font 🙂

So thats my big news… June 2nd I will be running the Minneapolis Marathon and I am going to need all the fans I can get…. so PLEASE come out and cheer!! It would be amazing!!

In the mean time I am getting used to running in the extreme humidity…. its been tough… especially when I have spent the last 4-5 months running in my nice 60 degree basement with the window open and a fan blowing on me…. making it a nice 45-50 degrees while I watched my shows… sometimes to be honest… I kind of miss the treadmill 🙂 But I barrel on… working my way up to longer runs in preparation for the Marathon….. still can’t believe I am actually going to finally do it 😉

Distance: Today is my off day because yesterday I ran 12 miles (with the help of my cousin)
