Hi everyone. I disappeared off the face of the earth when I was pregnant well over a year ago. I lost bookmarks and then was just too lazy to find them. I've missed the H&F board and camaraderie, though, and I'd love to come back to the community. Hope it's ok for me to jump back in!
I'm cautiously optimistic. If it doesn't work out, I have a November full that I should be on track to BQ by a larger margin, but this spring is supposed to be baby time (poor DH has been so patient), so 2016 really doesn't seem feasible. We'll see.
What have you been up to? Obviously, despite being MIA from the boards, you've been running. (Running well!) Which race did you qualify at?
ETA: Never mind. lol I see the answer in your sig.

Other than running, not a whole heck of a lot. My little group at work was bought out, so that transition has taken the better part of a year. We're planning to (finally!) relocate next summer, still trying to decide between Colorado and Seattle. Just busy with work, kids, and running! That's really enough for me
I need to catch up on everyone. I did some lurking around this morning, but I'll continue to (mostly) sit quietly until I'm back up to speed.
If there had to be a reason not to run Boston, a baby would be the best one. Good luck!
Welcome back!!! I'm amazed at your post-baby times! Congrats on a BQ! It looks like your race was in September. Marathon training all summer? Eep!
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
I think that running throughout my pregnancy helped. I was so much faster after she was born. I did a 10 miler at an 8:21 pace 8 weeks PP, and I've just been working on getting faster, since. I'm just as surprised as anyone else. I never thought I'd BQ. Ever.
Welcome back! We're happy to have you back, and congrats.
ETA: was this your SN before too? I feel like I really remember you, but just can't place your name. Maybe it's the same & I just have a poor memory.
Not a poor memory, this was my name, before. I was surprised that my account still worked! I thought at one point there was a deactivation after a certain period of inactivity.
