Just a warning
You'll probably have to hear more about my race
So if you wish to stop hearing about it
Don't read ahead
You've been warned
I was fine until yesterday
But then I just started crying and couldn't stop
(today is much better)
(today is much better)
It's so weird
Mandi says it's like having a baby
And I never really believed her
Until now
I worked so hard all Summer
And now it's just over
And I can't explain why I cried about it
I think the key for me to move ahead
Is to find a new goal
But I'm kind of stuck
I know I'm not ready for a full marathon
I really want to work on increasing my pace and endurance
So I'm thinking another half marathon is in my sort-of-distant future
Sorry, Jarom
Hazel woke up inexplicably at 3:30am yesterday
And was completely awake and ready for the day
She has NEVER done this
I made her lay down in the bed with me
And she was chattering
Just as I wanted to yell at her to be quiet
She bursts out singing
"I Am a Child of God"
How in the world can you get mad when a cute little 2-year-old voice
is singing that?
Even if it's 3:30am
So we sat on the couch and watched Dora until everyone else woke up
So tired
Jarom says that the next time I'm mad at him
He's going to start singing
"I Am a Child of God"
In a cute little 2-year-old voice
And see what happens
I'm guessing it won't work as well
But who knows?
Cannon cries at every soccer game
I really think Hazel might be red/green color blind
She has all the other colors down and points them out all the time
But red and green always throw her off
She'll either switch them
Or she calls green yellow
And red purple
I know she's still little
And it might be a fluke
But it's starting to worry me a little bit
Speaking of colors, here she is reading Brown Bear
If you haven't seen it already
Jarom is super pumped about the Raiders game on Monday
I have to admit it was an impressive win against the Broncos
65-yard field goal and all
And I'm the one who didn't know what the yellow line on the football field was for
(not Jarom's proudest moment of me)
Have a chipper Wednesday!

Dude, I say Scott has some explaining to do. When I asked why you weren't coming, he said you'd already RSVP'ed to the reunion on FB and that he'd feel bad stealing people from Skippers reunion that were actually planning on going (unlike the rest of our crew of misfits), so he just wouldn't ask. I told him it at least wouldn't hurt to ask, but he didn't. And now he has to listen to his wife say, "Told you so" incessantly. Next time, he'll listen. ;)
You know after my first half last year I was on such a high and didn't want to have it go away so I signed up for another half that was 6 weeks later and I started speed training. So I had a new goal and since I was already in shape from the last one it was easier to train for the next and so I wanted to beat my time. I did, by 11 minutes. So I would definitely say sign up for another race and have a different goal while training for it. You can do it. Oh, and I'm so happy for you for doing your first (I think that's always the hardest one).
I mix up orange and green. STILL! I know I'm looking at orange, I know what it looks like, and somehow it comes out "green"--or vice versa. It's so weird.
Cute Hazel! Zoe gets up at 5:30 some days, but not 3:30. Ouch.
I seriously thought that both my boys were color blind. They are not. Eventually they just started to get the colors right.
And you already know what I think your next half should be.
I wish I lived closer so that I could take your kiddos for you and you could get some sleep.
Love you!
