Happy Easter 2011

Not a Running Post but Hello Louis!

My husband suprised me with an early anniversary gift! It was the Louis Vuitton Neverful Handbag! I am so excited! It is our 20 yr anniversary and 20 yrs ago he bought me a beautiful Gucci on our honeymoon, so this was pretty romantic of him!

Not going to be beat by an ambulance- The New Bedford Half

This was a hard race for me but mostly in my mind. I started out at the back of the pack close to the 14 min pace runners. It became very clear early on that this race was meant for runners. But that wasn't the worst of it! Around Mile 2 and through Mile 5 I was followed by the ambulance, I was 2nd to the last runner... I think for me in any race I don't start warming up until the 3rd mile. Well at mile 5 I had had enough!!!! So I kicked it into gear and started to "pick people off". What I mean by that was in my mind I said Ok... I am going after the girl in purple. I will pass her.. Then I just kept doing it.. I managed in the end to have my 3rd best time and "pick off" 32 people... Take that ambulance driver :)

Just Don't Want to Be Last!!!

Well, I think I have gotten my self over my head! Yep running New Bedford this weekend and I am scared!!! Don't think I am in anyway or shape prepared but I am going to give it a try! Pray for me!!!

100 Miles

So excited yesterday I hit the 100 mile mark for the year! It was really ahead of schedule for me so I am pretty excited!! I have also been taking part in the 100 day challenge over on Facebook. This challenge started on Jan 1 and the idea behind it is to exercise for 30 minutes for 100 days straight. I am happy to report that with today I hit 103 miles and finished out Day 36 of the 100 Day Challenge!

Park Running

This is the crew that came out with their mom this morning for a run in 7 degrees temps! Aren't they awesome! We had to go to a local park to run because the roads are just snow packed with snow...

We show this guy too!

Good bye July and hello August

Who is it only me but did the month of July just past us all right on by???? Honestly I have no idea how 31 days just went so quickly. August will be a big month for us. We are planning a 2 week trip to Alabama and Florida to look at southern schools for my older daughter.
