Training Day #33

Today was supposed to be 12.5 miles. I thought I was prepared until I woke up this morning with the worse stomach ache!! It was bad. I went downstairs to try to eat a banana, in hopes this would settle my stomach. After almost throwing it up, I went to lay down. Can I do this today? After about 30 minutes, I still felt like crap, but I was up and getting kids ready to go and myself ready to run. Yes, I was going to do it!

1- 16oz bottle of water~ down
1- banana with a little peanut butter~ eaten
1-16oz bottle of D fine 8~down
ipod charged/ headphone~ready to go
Garmin watch~charged
water pack~cleaned and filled with water
Protein bar~packed
Shine/calf sleeves~on

LETS RUN! At 9:15 we were off and well it didn't feel great but it didn't feel to bad. The weather was nice, cool at 65 degrees and the side we ran was very shaded. 3.3 miles and we saw the gas station, I have never been so happy to see a gas station! I ran in quick and grabbed a Gatorade for us to share. We drank it and turned to go back. I hit 4 miles and I felt GREAT! I mean GREAT! I was actually running faster than when we started. It felt great until we got back to parking lot and we started going the other direction. We were now at 7 miles, it was getting hot and we were loosing our shaded trail! My calf sleeves were making my legs feel like they were on fire and at 10 miles, I started seeing stars!! Yes, I had to stop! I walked the last mile! Liz picked it up and started running again but mom and I finished it up with a walk. Am I proud of this, no but I honestly didn't feel great. I don't think I ate enough the night before or the morning of and we should have put water at about 7 miles. You live and learn!

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
