Half Marathon Update

September 25th is the big day. A week from yesterday I will be done with the blasted thing. I have to say that I feel ready and not very scared. On Tuesday I went about 11 miles. It took over 2 hours but I think I will be able to do the 13.1 in about 2 1/2 hours. That is what I am shooting for anyways. I am going up Friday night with a woman from my ward and we are doing it together. I am sure I will be full of anxiety the night before but I am excited too. I will post pictures of the big day.

Riley's First Day of School

What a handsome kid!!
Riley jumped right into playing at the water table. He is definitely the biggest kid in his class.

Brothers

I love my boys. Having boys is fun and active and can be hard sometimes. They are the cutest most sweet boys though and I feel very lucky.

Training

I ran a little over 4 miles yesterday. It wasn't too bad. The weather was cooler and cloudy. It is harder when it is so hot. My knees hurt today though. I think I might need better shoes. I feel good though because i am making progress. I can't imagine ever being able to go 13.1, but I have some more time.

Reid and Riley are so awesome. Reid is going to be crawling any day now. He army crawls all over the place and gets up on his hands and knees. I just bought him some new jammies yesterday. I got him 12 month sleepers thinking that would be fine. They fit him like a glove. He is getting so big. It makes my heart ache how much I love that baby. His little blue eyes and sweet gummy smile.

Riley just finished sports camp last week. He love sports and is so talented. He loves to dance and he sings like a angel. He loves to play video games with his dad (heaven help me!) and is excited about school in the fall. He still loves cars. The sportier the better. He is a joy. He can have a temper but is also so gentle and good. He loves Reid and Reid adores Riley. They are both amazing eaters and I love them both so much.

Chris is working and has taken to buying ipods on craigslist and reselling them on ebay. He enjoys it and it is nice to have extra money coming in.

6 Years and Counting!

Tomorrow is mine and Chris' 6th Anniversary. I love him more now than I thought possible. He is a great husband. He is so patient and loving to me. We have both changed a lot is the last 6 years and have grown closer together. I look forward to the next 6 years and beyond.


I loved our cake. It was delicious (what I got of it anyways.)

Training and Sickness

I have decided to train for a half marathon. UGH!!!! I need something to keep me motivated and I have always felt that if I could run for any distance I would truly be in shape. My friend Sarah asked me awhile ago if I wanted to do one with her and said no but thought it would be a good idea to try it once. Last week was my first week training and it was rough. My legs were really sore and then my third day running my knee started hurting so I had to walk most of the way. That was pretty frustrating. I took it easy on Saturday and was planning on going running again on Monday and of course got sick as a dog. I was weak and achy all day. Thankfully Chris was able to come home and help with the boys. My mom was over too because my friend went into labor and we watched their twin girls. It was a full house.

Back to training today. I am excited for losing weight and being able to run for longer times. I will keep you all posted.
