training week #6

running in florida is different than running in new york.
they are both hot and both humid, but somehow it is different.

long run: 12 miles.
it was 74 degrees at 5:30 this morning when we started.
thankfully, i had a bunch of company.
my mother-in-law & her running group for miles 1-5.
continued on with m-i-l and picked up my mom's fiance (who is visiting in florida with my mom).
there was not a dry spot on me AND i have renewed my love for propel... so tasty in the middle of 12 miles!

week total: 19.7 miles
ARGH!!!
i almost had 20 - it would have been my first week to reach 20 miles.
so close!!
i managed two other short runs, one being a speed work out (by myself... that was hard).
and i did my 30 min yoga dvd twice!

i have low expectations for the next two weeks considering i will be in vacation mode! let's see if i can get in some short run plus a few yoga sessions since i brought my dvd with me.... and let's see if can manage to not undue the hard work i have tried to do and gain those pesky few pounds back while relaxing....

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
