training week #13 and #14

(peanut is #5)

weather has not been my friend....until today.
fall is here!
cooler weather, soccer, apples, change out the clothes...which means my favorite cords that i have not worn for two full years.

but in terms of running:
long run: 18 miles.
weather: 52 degrees at 6:15 when i left the house.
had company for 11 of those 18 miles.
thank you jessie & tiffany.
so very, very helpful.
got to take in the changing scenery of the park as i did almost three and a half loops in there. the leaves have the hint that they might change colors soon. the air was crisp and cool. i even wore a long sleeved technical tee....of course, it chaffed my underarm.....but details, details.

it was a good run.
my legs are tired....but i did run 18 miles.


week total: 35 miles
(since 18 was supposed to be last week and slight cold and then rain postponed it to this.... two week total)
i got in a hill workout and a easy run the week before the debacle of trying to get this 18 miler taken care of. no easy runs this week, just a long run that was rained out half way through.

only 4 weeks to go.
here is our team fundraising page.
(team being me, brother, and dad)
again, raising money for world vision.

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...
