a lot here like i did when i was little first day of school was the tuesday after labor day here are noah and evelyn ready to go noah started pre k full day and evelyn started full day kindergarten it is the second week of school and they are loving it still kiddos also started to play soccer through the cyo program at their school they are thankfully both on the same team pre k and k were combined that makes my life a lot easier here are jack noah and thomas before their first game my next post will include a running workout update i promise posted by michelle at 9 48 pm 35 comments tuesday july 31 2012 from one hamster wheel to the next last weekend was b u s y the great thing about busy is that the kids get all tired out and don t have the energy to misbehave too much i took the kids friday night to an outdoor youth circus we went last year and the kids loved it it didn t disappoint travis came home late friday night from traveling all week and then went golfing saturday morning i woke up and took the kids to the renton river days festival we got there right when it opened and the early bird really does get the worm the kids inflatables and activities were all open and there were no lines a mom s and kid s dream i was really proud of evelyn she wanted to try everything here she is coming out of the human hamster ball she was really good at walking inside this huge orb it was fun to watch her do it she also strapped on a harness and tried to climb a huge rock climbing wall adults were doing it she was the littlest one that i saw attempt it she went about half way up before coming down i was one proud momma she is really becoming a brave little girl in running news i have been on the human hamster wheel for workouts lately can t really run outside during the week when trav is out of town so i went for a run by myself sunday morning it wasn t as long as i would have liked but i managed to get in a little over 6 miles i came to the conclusion that i am my own worst enemy lately not sure what has gotten into me but there is a lot of doubt and negative talk going on in my head it is frustrating know what else is frustrating this blogger picture uploader tool no matter how many times i rotate my pictures and save them some are upside down this weekend is a women s retreat weekend i went last year made a lot of new friends and came home energized and full of determination i would say the timing is perfect posted by michelle at 10 25 pm 1 comments tuesday july 17 2012 see jane michelle run 13 1 i am not sure whether it is my computer or blogger or what but these sideways pictures are driving me crazy no matter how many times i upload them they won t show up the right way guess you will have to tilt your head noah was promised a big boy bed full size when he finally got rid of all of his pull ups and used the potty all the time he was a late bloomer in this regard and it was driving me crazy well as you can see below we finally turned the corner and he is 99 accident free for three weeks one small accident at school evelyn and noah enjoying his new bed such a proud little guy in running news i had an exciting weekend a runner acquaintence of mine posted on facebook last wednesday that she was injured and wouldn t be able to run the see jane run half marathon that was taking place sunday in seattle she was looking for someone to take her entry since she couldn t use it nobody took it so friday i sent her a message and said that i would love to use it i had 9 10 miles that i wanted to do and no running partner again and to be honest i wasn t feeling extremely positive about being able to put in the mileage on my own i figured that surrounding myself with a few thousand strong female runners would be just the motivation that i needed my mental game has needed some work lately that is almost as important as putting in the physical training mileage so i woke up bright and early sunday morning and headed to the starting line the weather had changed a bit and it was a chilly morning there was also a light misty rain and quite a bit of wind coming in off the lake needless to say i was trying to find any excuse to back out of the race i was thinking about just running the 6 miles around the lake and skipping the race i was thinking about just going back home and going to bed but i ended up being able to give myself a pep talk that sunk in and i headed to the starting line i had on shorts and a tank and was pretty cold at the start but warmed up before i even hit the one mile marker the first almost 10 miles were good i was maintaining a 10 min mile pace and i was happy with that i wasn t pushing my limits because after all this was supposed to be a training run the last three miles were tough my feet were hurting and feeling a little numb and my legs felt like lead so i took turns running and walking to the finish line and as usual the feeling of crossing the finish line is worth every ounce of pain experienced during the race here i am after the race i was seriously on a high for the rest of the day my body was exhausted but my heart soul was beaming i have another 12 miles on the schedule for this saturday i am feeling much more confident about this weekend s miles that is for sure posted by michelle at 9 06 pm 2 comments wednesday july 11 2012 fireworks and grasshoppers a little behind already in blog posts ugh better late than never though my mom came into town for a bit around the 4th of july so things have been busy but lots of fun too we went to our friend melissa s house for a bbq on the 4th here is a quick family photo that was taken before we left evelyn also had her first t ball game last week she is on team grasshopper she made it on base a few times and was pretty proud of herself we were proud of her too obviously here she is on third base with travis the third base coach unfortunately noah is too young to play this year but he is a proud little brother here he is giving out cuddles and hugs in running news i ran last saturday ran alone though and forgot to get a pic i didn t hit my goal mileage but i got in just under 7 miles i slept in a little and had a late start and it was hot out already excuses excuses everybody has one i will do better this saturday my goal is 9 or maybe i can squeeze in 10 my main running partner sarah is traveling still so i will most likely be on my own again i think the key might be running somewhere other than a run that starts at my front door i seem to do better on a path or planned route of some sort for some reason i treat those runs as more important and i don t allow myself to take as many breaks i will also remember to get a sweaty pic cuz i am sure you all like those posted by michelle at 1 27 pm 6 comments friday june 22 2012 here i go again i am a very proud momma evelyn received an award the last month of school for her remarked growth and dedication to academics she received the award in front of the school during their weekly wednesday morning mass the following day each student that received the award one from each grade was invited to a pizza lunch with principal sherman quite a treat here is a picture from the celebration dinner at enjoyed at red robin her restaurant of choice in other big news i am back i took a short hiatus from running for a while i had gotten to the point where it was no longer easy or fun no matter what distance i was running i wasn t getting comfortable or achieving the runner s high that i had grown accustomed to so i took a lot of bodypump and spinning classes at the gym did other forms of cardio and flat out took a running break it worked i had to break up from running for a while to realize what we really meant to each other absence really does make the heart grow fonder i have had a great week or so of running recently and all training plans are back on here is a picture of sarah and i after our run this past saturday even though i was battling a lingering cold sinus infection it was a fun run around lake union a favorite route of ours the best news i have my therapist back again if you can tell by my updated tickers and races listed on the sidebar i have some big races in the future i am pretty sure that i have convinced sarah to run victoria with me in october there are already two other women that i am traveling with but i don t train with them and i would be so thankful to complete this marathon training with sarah by my side love this girl and lord knows i could use the extra support during the upcoming training runs my plans are to blog every week about my running progress this will keep me on task with my training and i need any and all followers of this blog to hold me accountable so here i go again training has officially started posted by michelle at 10 00 pm 2 comments wednesday may 30 2012 run like a diva myrtle beach my annual girls destination race weekend took place two weekends ago the group has changed slightly through the past few years but dee and bri have done it with me every year this year s trip was to myrtle beach south carolina we all flew in on friday morning i took the red eye thursday night from seattle yuck and arrived at our hotel to a beautiful two bedroom suite thanks to jenelle and dee s hotel points from work travel we had a great deal on our accomodations friday night we went out on the town duh here is a pic of bri and i from dinner at a brewery steakhouse bri was my little sister in the sorority at michigan tech we are all delta zetas we found a bar with live music and danced the night away saturday we recovered we slept in and got up just in time for the continental breakfast at the hotel we showered and headed to the race expo to pick up our bibs we also took some time to scope out the start finish area and parking situation for the next morning here we are at the expo in the cute technical race shirts as for the race ugh i was off right from the moment i got up in the morning the race started at 7am eastern which is 4am seattle time we were up at 5am 2am seattle double ugh i was sick to my stomach as soon as i woke up could barely get down an english muffin and some fluids i knew right from the start that it wasn t going to be my race i immediatly starting cramping in my one calf dehydration i think probably had a little to do with the heavy drinking on friday night ooops but long story short i finished any day that i can run 13 1 miles is a good day in my book at mile 12 they gave out tiaras and boas and check out those huge medals they seriously hurt our necks after about 20 minutes so heavy the race was sunday morning and i didn t have to leave until tuesday afternoon it was awesome after the race we went back to the hotel to lounge by the pool and relax the hotel had multiple pools and the best part it had a lazy river with huge yellow tubes to just lay in and float around on truly heaven monday and tuesday were perfect for relaxing and really taking time to recharge our batteries just what i needed here i am with dee on monday afternoon the best part of the vacation is hanging with such great true friends i love being able to just kinda pick up where we left off every time we are together i seriously don t think we stopped talking for three days straight it was hysterical and therapeutic they are all such strong successful women too i am truly honored to call them my friends i also need to put a big thank you to travis in here thanks for supporting me and my crazy running goals training girls weekends etc love you
