| What a day I chose to run early in the morning - the day after Daylight Savings Time. sheesh. I haven't seen the stars while I've run in a long time. Lynn's regular running partner is out of town for a while, so I told her that if she doesn't mind a slow partner, I'd be so happy to join her! So, she met me at 6:00 and showed me the funniest running path they take on Mondays - on and off of roads and trails, up and down hills, but actually getting in 4 1/2 miles (my distance was shorter because she came to my house). It was, of course, faster than I run by myself; but it's so good for me to have someone to push me. I'm really not good at pushing myself. I was able to talk (3-6 words at a time) the whole time - except the major hills, so I know I wasn't killing myself. But I'm probably not ready to run with her and Kirsten because they run even faster than we went today. But.... anyway ... I'm feeling great now and it's nice to have my run done so early in the day. By the way, my 7 year old finally went #1 in the toilet last week!!!!! At her special ed classroom, they put her on the toilet every time they change her diaper (for about a year now), but she has never eliminated before. Until now. HALLELUJAH!!! So, we celebrated and took her to McDonalds (it's nice when they're young and the celebrations are still so inexpensive). She was so excited and keeps mentioning that we can go to McD's again if she poops or pees on the toilet again. We're still a long way off on being potty-trained, but any success after this long of trying/waiting gives me a glimmer of hope!!!! | | Comments(2) |

| Ran with Lynn this morning again. We took the first mile faster, though, and that always seems to have a draining effect on the rest of my run. But it was still a good run. Today has turned out to be a BE-AU-tiful day! It's 61 degrees and my husband and I took our 2 little ones on a walk which turned into a hike in the open space behind our house. The pines smelled so nice and the weather was so perfect, it felt like we had driven hours to go hiking up in the mountains. I can't wait for summer - by then, our youngest will be walking! | | Comments(5) |

| On the treadmill - I kept it slow and shorter so I would still have some umph on my long(er) run tomorrow. My husband is going with the youth to the temple tomorrow morning, so I'm actually hiring a babysitter so I can go running. How funny ... sometimes I wonder ... if you told me last year that I'd be this devoted to running right now, I'm sure I would've laughed. (Granted, I was 8 months pregnant) It's a great thing to be running!!!! On a side note, we went to McDonalds again tonight to celebrate my daughter's success on the toilet yesterday!! Instead of buying something for myself, I actually brought some All-Bran muffins and boiled eggs from home. Sasha would be proud! ;o) | | Comments(2) |

| Well, I wasn't able to go running with my friends this morning even though I had a babysitter lined up - we were up until after 1:00am with my baby who was throwing up over and over. It is the saddest thing to see a baby dry heaving!! Luckily she never had a fever and she seemed alright today except for a weaker appetite and a little more tired. She's a little angel. Anyway ... I didn't want to subject our babysitter to a possibly contagious child. So, that meant that my long run was going to be on the treadmill because after my husband got home, we were going to get our family picture taken. That's actually a story in itself: get 3 sweet girls dressed and beautiful, show up 5 minutes late for our appt, find out we went to the wrong mall and there is no portrait studio at that JCPenney, go to Sam's Club while we're out, drop off the food at home and grab the camera and tripod, decide to try to take our own family picture since everyone is dressed and beautiful, take a few pictures that turn out mediocre, try a few more and make a scene with a screaming 7 year old, give up and go for a walk, head home and call it a failed picture day. Oh well. We'll try again soon. :o( P.S. Six miles on the treadmill is not easy. That last mile, I was really fighting the urge to stop. | | Comments(2) |
