Where has the time gone?

Well the days are dwindling, the 5k is officially 1 week away. This is my Week 9. Tuesday night I decided I had to run 3.1 if I was going to get this thing done so here's what I did: a 5 minute warm-up and then I ran until I had gone 3.1. It took 38.38 minutes. Tonight I'm going to be sure and run the whole 3.1, but I really think I could have done that anyway, I don't cover much ground during my warm-up. So anyway... the only other thing that really has me worried is the course, it's UPHILL! Whose idea was that? I'll be sure to report on how it goes. Thanksgiving may have a whole different vibe to it, if I pass out first thing.

Last Thursday-Sunday I spent time with girlfriends camping and riding. I must say it was wonderful. God's glory was really shining on that trip. The weather was absolutely perfect as was the company, food and everything else about the trip. Suge and Wildman had a great weekend too! Our Friends Thanksgiving was Saturday night and I back for that and then went back to ride on Sunday. The whole weekend was just fantastic and much needed.

Don't know much else, just getting excited about the holidays. I know Wildman is going to be so much fun this year, if only I can get him to stick with 1 birthday party theme. Oh well, we'll see...

25 minutes! Say what?

I'm sure lots has happened in the life of my family since I last posted, but I'm sure I won't be able to remember it all. But here goes:

1. This is Week 7 of my running plan and I think I may be running by myself at this point. QT has hurt her knee among other complications, but she gave it the old college try. Last Saturday, the 3rd day of Week 6 I was to run 25 minutes without walking. Hmmm... thought I. But I did it, and so began Week 7. Running 25 minutes without walking all 3 days! So far so good. Tonight I think I was more proud of myself for not looking at the time until 15 minutes in, than I was for running the whole thing. Anyway, I sure hope by Week 9 I'm up to the 3.1 miles. We'll see.

2. Halloween was a success around here. Wildman didn't get crazy scared of anything or puke from too much candy, so in my book, that's a pretty good Oct. 31st.

3. We've had some set-backs on our potty training, but this week has really turned around. I say that only to get a call from his teacher on Tuesday during lunch to say--He's a ring leader in this circus we call a class and he's got to get some listening ears. So... today was better, and not just because I threatened his life. ;)

4. Suge's back has been hurt for like a month now. That's all I have to say about that.

5. I've had a headlight out for like a month now. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

6. Wildman and I are headed to Nashville this weekend for a friend's baby shower and I can't wait to see everyone. It's been a while.

7. I think there are only 7 weekends until Christmas at this point. What can you say about that?

8. This picture was too cute not to post. Enjoy!
