Remarkable achievements require remarkable efforts

ha ha 9 miles made you look :)

5 miles on the bike and 4 miles on the elliptical

I guess I forgot how to tell time b/c I thought I set my alarm last night so I could go to tae bo this morning.  woke up frustrated that the alarm hadn't gone off and realized I set my alarm for 6:20 not 5:20.  Made it in time for about 40 minutes worth of tae bo then 3 miles.

4.5 on the TM this morning.  On my way out (around  7:20) still dark outside a strange van pulls up to me w/ an older dude and an even older dude in the front in their church clothes.  Back seat has two younger girls in dresses and he hands me some "reading material".  I'm sorry Jehovas Witnesses you creep me out when you approach me in the dark early morning at the gym.  I still have the heebies.

ran 2 miles around the track today with Wes and the kiddos.  Went to visit the in-laws and my own folks this weekend while my husband studied for and took his first final of his MBA program.  I think he did alright!

A few items:

I don't sleep well with my kids in the same bed, or in a strange/new bed.

I don't care what anyone tells you ladies (and burt) no bake cookies, halloween candy, and ice cream do not help with your endurance or speeed when running. :)  I love halloween, but I hate that I don't control my eating during october.  It's a free for all.  don't worry weight gain has been minimal. : )
