I really dislike the begining of...

Day Light Savings Time when we lose an hour. Like most of my fellow Americans, I was waaaaaay late to work this morning. Thank goodness the twins were "ANGELS' this morning and were roarin' to go.

MIL is doing fine, she was a very sore from her PT on Friday, but she is up and walking, with impromptu trips to COSTCO.

So needless to say my run didn't happen today, but since I am moving my long run to Saturday, this week will be chalk full of runs, 4 in a row that are going to kill me but they need to get done, since it's less than 4 weeks till D-Day.

Ran with the neighbor on Saturday, 7:30 AM, was the earliest he would go, the weather was perfect, a lil' on the humid side with breezes, and after the quick 3 miles, bam it started to rain and turned chilly.

I have to say I really like running with a partner. Keeps me on my toes and the time flies.

Holly Springs 5K and fun run...

CANCELLED!

Bummer. Was using this race to pop my neighbors road race cherry.

I volunteered to help bring in more sponsors so we can get this race off the ground. I twas to benefit Holly Springs Elementary. Great cause.

Rain, Rain......

I love running in the rain, it was about 55 degrees, no Sun just nice hard drops hitting my body. It was euphoric. I ran 5.5 out and back from work. Haven't run in about a week. I am supposed to run with my neighbor (who has since told me, that he was holding back the puke, from our last 5 mile run, and that's why he was so quiet on the drive home from ATT) tomorrow, but said he won't run in the rain. Wussy. I have moved my long runs from SUN to SAT, since the days will be getting longer, I want to preserve SUNDAY!

Lots going on.

MIL had her Meniscus surgery, so Gary and I have been taking turns staying home, today I am back at work, and the twins will be in Daycare all next week. MIL is doing better, still out of it, but hopefully she will make a speedy recovery.

I think I found a great Pre-School for the twins, although Gary would like to argue, catholics can't go to a baptist Pre-School....uhm yes they can when the price is right!

28 days til my race, very excited...

A proud mommy moment

Poor Tom.

Well, I dragged my neighbor out for a run with me on Sunday. We had been talking about running together, so since this was a short run (5 miles) I told him lets go.

Around mile 1.75, I lost him, I continued on to 2.5, then headed back and caught up with him at mile marker 2, and didn't stop till mile marker 0. "I hate you right now" were his last and only words to me on the way home.

I also got him to agree to do Holly Springs first 5k race with me. But I know I don't have a serious running partner in him because, he loathes running. He's just doing it to get back into shape.

So the search continues for a running partner/motivator.

Oh.My.Gawd. Seriously? Really?

Double UGH

We are in day two of Gabby's thumb sucking intervention. We had a long chat with her and we bought poster board and stickers to show her progress.

But out of habit, the thumb finds it's way back into the mouth. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH. She is only three, ut I know from experience that the older she gets the harder it will be for her to stop.

I am surfing the web for a Bitter Nail polish, to deterr her from sucking the thumb.

This is right up there with potting training her. The SINGLE worst experience of our LIVES!
