A Thanksgiving of First’s--2011

This year, many “firsts” occurred. It was a spectacular Thanksgiving, & definitely will be remembered. I think the best words I heard yesterday were “Mommy, this was a great Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for you.” I’m thankful for you too little turkey..very thankful. 

Summer Games & My Attempt At Athleticism

So let's preface this post with a little background on me as an athlete:

When I was really young (we'll say 4ish) I wanted to be in a dance class like all of my other girl friends...unfortunately I resembled a frog rather than a ballerina.

First Day of Preschool

So, Monday was my little man's first day of preschool! He's getting so big. Chesapeake Energy opened their child development center on August 8, 2011. Phoenix was a part of the second start group on August 15th. After spending an entire week in Tyler, TX, we were stressed prepared for this first day to come. I decided he needed a buzz cut for his first day--this would ensure he didn't look like Alfalfa in the morning.

Adventure Races!!

I've been meaning to write about the Dirty 30 for a few days now! I signed up for my first mud race back in March when I was gung-ho about running as many races as possible.

Running in the Heat & Dinner with an old Friend

So I've been trying to heat train so that I can get ready for the dirty 30. Let me tell you it's been hell! We've been running at noon & nothing could be hotter. My friend Caroline & I only ran two miles today and I thought I was going to die. The heat definitely zaps it out of ya! Tomorrow will be 3 miles in a/c. :)

Juicing & Planning

Today's Juice was "Peachy Cantaloupe".
