Training Day #18

8 MILES!!!!!!!! Yes we did 8 miles...on a treadmill! At first the thought of doing it on a treadmill killed me! For some reason I tend to be slower on a treadmill and I didn't know if I could just stay in the same place for what I thought would be like 3 hours! On the other hand, I hate running in the cold and when you add the rain, well that just wasn't gonna happen!

When we did 6 miles two weeks ago, I honestly thought I was going to die! It was hard and new pains started to pop up, my toe, my foot, my abs! This time it was smooth sailing! I'm being honest! I don't want to say it was easy because it's not walk in the park but I got a good groove and 3 minutes didn't seem like an eternity. The last mile was the hardest. My foot started to hurt again but I pushed through and ran the last .7 without stopping. I was feeling like crap before the run. We waited until 3 and I had slight headache and just wanted to take a nap but I did it and after I did, I felt great and was so glad that I did. I am really enjoying this!


DISTANCE: 8 miles
TIME: 2 hours and 20 minutes- (Like I said, a little slower on a treadmill).

I could not do this without my mom, my aunt and my good friend Liz. We push each other and its nice to have someone beside you!

**on a side note- I am starting the week at about the same weight as Friday- which is good because I always cheat alittle on the weekends!!!! I am so happy about this and think it's going to be a great week!***

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
