Did it!

I actually got up and ran by myself this morning! Although my pillow was saying, "Stay with me. Stay with me." in a soft, whispery voice, I still got up. Wonders will never cease! Now I just hope this new found mental strength and willpower can get me through my 3:15 hour run tomorrow! Of course with Tom telling me all of his hilarious jokes, I am sure it won't be a problem.

Another run

Just Kwik Trip gal and I today. Katie drove off when I got there. Jill told me it wasn't me, but you know how nice Jill is - except to Mike.

The truth is that something is going on with Katie's foot and she decided to play it safe and rest it. Nice of her to drive all the way in and tell us.... going the extra mile!

Green Bay continues to fill up. The half marathon is 81.3% full and the full is 76%. It will be interesting to see if they reach their cap. The next bump in price happens after the 15th, so I am guessing we will see an increase in registrations just before that day.

Oh how wrong....

Thankfully the weatherman is wrong sometimes and this weekend, all of you who live in WI know, he was WAAAAAYY off. I love when 3-7 inches of snow actually turns into a few flurries - especially in April. Of course, that weather forecast got me out of running with Jill on Sunday - another reason to LOVE him.

A good run with Christy and Katie this morning. I am definitely in the peak of marathon training because I am just tired, tired, tired. Ugh. Getting the legs moving is hard.

However, it was a good pace run this weekend. I did the first 7 mile loop too fast so the second half was a killer. The real reason I slowed down was that I had to get away from Tom's jokes. Just ask him about the red and purple grapes and you will understand why. Of course my 7 year old LOVED it.
