Yep, writing this at 12:52 AM. Just finished 4 hours of work on the kitchen computer…and, unfortunately, it was “real office work” work. Yuck. So, getting up in 3 1/2 hours to hit the treadmill…not seeing it in my future. The past couple of weeks have just been ROUGH at our house. I think one kid has had a fever each week. And Andy and I are both working like crazy recently.
I will definitely complete the 10K on the 30th…just a lot more walking than jogging or running. It’s always a bummer to not reach a goal as you had hoped, but learning to adjust and accept compromises is just part of life, right? I thought it would be easier to train for it. I thought my stress fracture wouldn’t return. I thought I wouldn’t be so TIRED.
I am so so so so appreciative of everyone’s thoughts and DONATIONS! I am almost to my goal for GOTR. I really only need $40 more to reach the $500 since I have $80 in cash from the Booze and Bows party and other work donations. THANK YOU!!!
Weight Watchers is still going well. I do go over my points. Every. Day. However, I am eating so much better and that is actually keeping me somewhat healthy. I even turned down a Krispy Kreme donut. I am focusing much more on fruits and veggies. And that trickles down to the kids. Here’s a quick peak into our kitchen earlier tonight:
The girls helped me get the grapes cleaned up and put into a container for the fridge. I grabbed the camera because they were BUSTED for eating more than working.
Great Blog Challenge Day 5: Your Siblings…same link as yesterday. Being totally lazy.
Training for the 10K was HARD for me – but I was never a runner and it took me like 4 steady months to train for it. The hardest thing I learned is how to find your pace. Once I figured that out, I felt like I could run forever! One of the best things I’ve ever completed, for sure. If it wasn’t for my crazy gf JENNIE I wouldn’t have ever thought I could do it!
I’ll be there cheering on another close friend who will be running the 5k! I plan to run the 10k again to get back into shape after I get preggers with no. 2 (no news yet). I seriously loved every minute of that 10k race!
I hope everyone in your house gets well (consistently!) soon! BTW – thanks again for the DVDs. Jen is currently putting them to good use!

thanks for stopping by my blog.
Good Luck with the 10K. (I hate running)
I hope you all stay healthy. My youngest has been fighting a cold. but he’s 14- so much easier on me now then when he was little and sick (which was often)

Except for taking walks, I haven’t worked out in five years. I admire you for your 10K goal and the fundraising to boot!
P.S. — Some time when I am in Cincinnati, can I hire you to teach me how to make hair bows?
