update #1
Well my friends, if you don't remember the previous post about the running fiasco, you can check it out here. but i'm pleased to report..."I'M BACK BABY"!!! if you think this is a post about me tooting my own horn then you're dang right it is {although i like to think of it more as a humble brag} and i'm not even sorry, because people, there was a time that i didn't believe i would ever be able to run longer then a mile without breaking down in tears. I mean i'm no marathon runner {yet} but i feel pretty dang good about my progress.
arron and i participated as a relay team with my mom and dad in the legacy duathelon {run, bike, run}
i ran a 5k then my dad biked 22 miles then i ran another 5k
(side note.. i averaged a 10min mile and was still 6th to last during the first 5k, sheesh, there are some fasties out there)
arron ran a 5k then my mom biked 11 miles and arron ran another 5k
| me and my handsome dad took 2nd place in the relay category. {there was a total of 4 relay teams. haha} {he's really handsome if you can look past the outfit} |
i've been training for the wasatch back relay that is coming up here in a couple few weeks and i'm pretty sure i'll survive now.
my jogging partner tiff and i after we ran our first 6.2 miles on a beautiful saturday afternoon. we never needed to stop and walk and alas, there were only tears of joy ;-). we are pretty proud of ourselves.
{and no i'm not sun burned, i just get that red when i run}
So i like to think that i've joined the group of you moms out there that keep on tuckin' even when growing and birthing those little bundles of joy threaten to take away our ability to function let alone run a mile or two.

again if you missed the plant blog post and your a little confused, you can catch up here.
remember how this little buddy wasn't looking so hot, well i did some pruning and gave it a little extra TLC and now its thriving, proving to myself and all of you that were worried..gabe has a chance. i mean what is the average life span of a house plant? i think 10 years has exceeded that..no?
