My first 5K

I did it! I ran my first 5K in the annual Mission Inn Run. I ran with Adrianne Ashley who has run a marathon-but she stuck with me! I finished in 34:25 which is 3 minutes faster than I have ever run that distance before. I am so glad I did it, now I just have to keep it up to get rid of my last 18 pounds of pregnancy gain!

My amazing daughter ran the Kids 1/2 K without stopping! She was so cute running out there on her own. Gwyn and I cheered from the finish line and Gammy started her off. She was so proud of herself which is so great to see beaming from your child's face.

We are all, Adam included, going to run the Fairmount Park Raincross Run on Saturday, Feb 23. Come cheer us on! Adam and I will do the 5K and Aggie the 1K!

The Beginning

So...I'm starting a blog and I have anxiety as to what to write for my first post. Where to start? My kids? The funny four year old playing dress up in the other room? The infant pooping in her gdiaper in my lap? Our recent camping trip? My renewed enviromentalism with composting and flushable diapers? My excitement of being with "my girls" this labor day? My recent "loss" of a major mentor to a move to Salinas, California? My balancing act of working from home while having a colicy/GERD baby? My extreme sleep deprivation that makes me so fuzzy I can't figure out how to thread a bobbin? I guess I'll get to that stuff...if I can find time to blog everyday! I am at a stage of life where I don't even get makeup on everyday. It is a wonder if I get to the gym three times a week! I haven't mopped my floors for two months! Where does the time go?
