Half Marathon

Ok so I am not a runner. Anyone who knows me knows that I have said many times, "I do not run, I hate running and I will never run."

But all of a sudden I find myself running all the time, enjoying the effects of it (even if I don't necessarily enjoy it while doing it every time) and looking forward to the next time I will run.

So a year ago I could barely even walk the 3 mile BPA trail (granted, I weighed 70lbs more than I do now). Last night I ran just about 5 miles...I had never run more than 3 miles before last night. And today I signed up for a half marathon on May 1st. I'm glad I have Ashley and Suzanne to run with--they are such great motivation and inspiration for me. I gotta say, I'm kinda looking forward to the half marathon even though I'm scared of it at the same time.

For the next 8 weeks I'll be training for it by running 16 - 25 miles per week. I better lose some weight after all this!!!! :)

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
