Life is Good

Back in the Saddle Again!  After a whole week of slacking off, I decided I better run this morning.  I did 5.1 miles in 45 mins.  It left really nice out!!!

Good morning everyone!

***Added***

Tonight I convinced my husband to do a short run with me.  We did 2.52 miles in 22 minutes. :o)  I wore him out.  The first mile he was running faster then slower and acting goofy.  By mile 2 he was quite and breathing really hard.  At the end, we had a good laugh at ourselves.

Ran a slow but difficult 4 miles. I call it difficult because I was pushing Melanie... and it's HOT outside.  I know I'm complaining, but it is 94 out there... and we are in the last week of October.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised.  Nor should I be pushing my baby in a stoller in the heat.  This is why I didn't run for too long.  When I got her home, she drank her glass of water like *she* had been the one running.  She is too cute.

Update on my Husband from yesterday's run.  I think I killed him.  He is in quite a bit of pain today.  :o(  I like playing the nurse when he isn't feeling well, or is in pain, but I hate to see him like this.

I didn't run today, but I did want to participate in the 80's competition.  These aren't the best pictures, but they are the only ones that I didn't have to scan in.  In all three of these pictures, you'll see my cousin (Nicole), whom I ran to help between September 15th and October 15th.  I'm going to visit her for Thanksgiving and I can't wait!

Enjoy!

I'm the tall one.  That is my brother next to me, and of course, Nicole on the right.  Can you tell we aren't pleased with the torture they were putting us through in those outfits?

Okay, Here is me, in poka dots and my cousin Nicole.

And in the spirit of Halloween...

My brother is a Magician and I'm the Bunny jumping out of a Top Hat.  :o)

I have more 80's pictures that would make you laugh, but I'd have to pull them out.  I hope you enjoyed these ones! 

Well, I'm in PAIN!!!  I don't know what happened.  I was running, and got 3 miles away from my house and started feeling serious pain.  I pushed through it for another mile and got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore.  Then I found the only business that I had seen open my entire run (an AutoZone), and called my husband to come get me.  I was 4 miles away from my house (at the half way point of my run), and there was no way I was going to be able to walk home.  Note to self... Self, start carrying your cell phone!  Now I'm limping around like a painful fool.  I hope I'm better by next Saturday (my race)

Happy Halloween... Here are a few more scary images to help get you in the frightened mood.

that's right, I'm taking the whole family down with me!!!  The picture above was inspired  by Marion's Sadie Hawkins picture.  The picture below...  well, I think my mom's hair is comparable to Rachel's 8th grade photo

The 80's prep look:

And last, but not least...  another family shot!

(note that my parents would FREAK if they knew I was posting these.  They have been divorced for 14 years, and I think they think these photos have disappeared.  They were WRONG!)
