I'm Outta Here!!!!

We're leaving for vacation in about 14 hours! YEAH!! We're all very excited. (Even Mom, who still has shingles). The packing is almost done. I will do my "last chance workout" tomorrow with Cori (both of us on the disabled list).

I think I'm out for running the full marathon in April due to knee issues. I'm hopeful that I can still run the half, but only time will tell. I'm bummed out, but I don't want to push it - been there, done that. Cycling season starts soon and I love that even more than running. The Red Bud Classic is only about a month away.

See y'all when we get back!!!

Is It Friday Yet???

This has been a busy week. We're leaving for our trip in 9 days (yes, I'm totally counting down). My mom has gotten herself so stressed out about what to wear, what to bring, etc. that she has broken out in shingles!!! She's in a lot of pain - hopefully the drugs the doctor gave her will work well. She's still able to go on the trip and she's hoping the spots go away soon! I am very ready for this vacation. I've been so busy with work, kids, etc. that I think I've kind of shut down & have reached burnout where I don't want to do anything!

My knee started bothering me this week which really stinks b/c I'm supposed to run 17 with Cori on Saturday. It hasn't bothered me in over a year!! I'll have to play it by ear, but I certainly don't want another injury. If I have to take some time off - so be it. I hate to take time off from running!!! I know what is causing it to hurt and I'm doing everything within my power to make it better but it still bothers me. I need Tanya to fix me!!!!

So tune in next time for - - did Debbie get to run? Does Mom still have shingles? Are Debbie's clients still alive??

Frigid Five

Today was the Frigid Five - a 5 mile race in Edmond. It was a really good run, but very hilly. Have I mentioned before how much I hate hills??? I ran a respectable 45:25. My goal was to do it under 45:00, but considering all the hills - I'll take it. It was awesome to see so many friends and acquaintances there.
Since today is Valentine's Day, Scott and I went to the movies to see "He's Just Not That Into You". It was so funny!!! It related the story of several men and women and all of the dating faux pas. The sad thing - almost everything they were making jokes about was true!!! I'm so glad I'm not single!!! I have an awesome husband.
I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day!!

FACEBOOK!!!

Well, I've finally jumped on board the Facebook bandwagon. I must say - it is very addictive (Natalie warned me). I have been able to touch base with people from high school that I haven't seen or heard from in 15 or more years! I love looking at people's pictures and hearing about what's going on in their lives.

Speaking of which . . . training for the Memorial Marathon is in full swing. Thanks to Cori - we're right on track. We ran 13 miles last Saturday & I felt really good. We're going to do the same tomorrow, but will bump it up the following week. I am trying to stretch, stay opened and really listen to my body so I don't get injured . . . again. Injuries SUCK!! Watching your friends run the marathon that you trained four months for also sucks, so I don't want to repeat that. My parents are very anti-running so they are not happy with my decision to train for this event. Oh well!!!

We're counting down to our cruise - T-minus 22 days and counting!!! I am so ready!!!
