Almost 2 weeks.. April 21, 2008

and i’ve only skipped out on running 3 days. Due to weather, and family stuff, I wasn’t able to run.

I’m still only running 1-2 miles a day, but the 5k is only 3.1 miles. So, i’m right about where I should be I still have 2 and a half weeks before the race for the cure, so i’m pushing.  My stamina is starting to get better, but i’ve just been out of shape for so long that working at it is hard and discouraging.  Everyday I push myself a little harder, and i’ll get there. I think this is the most i’ve stuck to an exercise routine in more than a year. I used to wake up at 3 AM and meet my girls at the gym 3 or more mornings a week. Now, I go home and chad and I hit the track. He runs a lot more than I do, but he’s a little more in shape, because he carries huge countertops around all day lol. He’s been a lot of help in this training. We’re running in memory of my aunt and his mom. It’ll be a great bonding experience for us, I think.

In other news, I had 3 birthday parties this year. One with Chad’s cousins/brother. One with my girls. And last night, my parents took us to dinner It was a great birthday this year. Chad bought me cute shoes(of course), my mom gave me money which i’m spending on Rock N Republic Jeans, and my cousin gave me a beautiful over shirt. It’s so pretty. I got spoiled this year

Well, i’m back to work now.

Hope everyone is doing well. I’m sorry I haven’t sent comments or anything. I don’t have rights to blogspot on my work computer and rarely get on the computer at home.

My Kids and Hot Boyfriend April 16, 2008

This is Chad and I up at his uncle’s gorgeous cabin. We held hands and jumped into 8 feet of snow. He literally had to dig me out. It was so worth it though.

 

Well, here they are. My beautiful kids. Lenny was just 8 weeks in this picture. We got him when he was 5 weeks and he was a third of the size than he is in this picture. They really do grow so fast.

 

 

Running… April 7, 2008

I am running the “Race for the Cure”, in loving memory of Annette Pickering Kramer(My Auntie) and Debbie Marie Gallegos(my boyfriend’s mom).

I’ve ran it 2 times now and LOVE the feeling of crossing the finish line. It’s so emotional and very touching.

Today, I was researching some training for a half marathon and full marathon. Well, i’m only doing the 5k in the “Race for the Cure”, but i’m beginning to think I want to push forth and do the full 26.2 mile marathon next year.

I have to stay focused, strong, committed, and positive. I will succeed.
