Happy May

May is pretty cool for several reasons. My mom and my brother both have May birthdays. Piper has a birthday. I will be running my first marathon of 2009. Reagan will be running her first half marathon of 2009. Also, May is officially Bike Month in New York City. I’m not sure how many of the events that we will make it to (since we have a road race pretty much every weekend this month), but I’m excited about it anyway.

This weekend, Reagan and I will be running in Long Island. This will be the 4th year in a row that one of us has run this marathon. Reagan first ran it in 2006. Then I ran it in 2007, when Reagan was prego with Piper. I ran it again last year when Reagan was out of town. The LI Marathon is also the first marathon for both Reagan and myself. This will be the first year that we are both running together. Even though she will be doing the half, I’m really excited for us to both be there participating in the action together this year. That is of course assuming the neither of us come down with the swine flu in the interim, hahaha.
