Wally....I completely agree with Slugger....focus on the kids and you and your training....that is the sign you are getting!

That's awesome, Erica....thank you so much!

No problem.  

I want to run a marathon in May but don't know if I am willing to commit to training for it!  It's a huge time commitment for me with Bryan being gone so much, I am not sure I can do the long runs with the kiddos.  I need to decided soon!

I only have one kid....but, I started brief periods of about 1 hour home alone when he was 11 years old....he is now 14 years old and stays home alone for school days off, etc....I gave him a key to the house last year (starting in middle school) for him to come inside after school.....he still has to call me as soon as he gets home....then he walks the dogs, eats a snack and does homework until I get home from work.

I have a teenage boy....talk about spending alot of money at the grocery store....OMG....he is a human garbage disposal!!!!!

*sigh* four more years to wait.  Course it's not like I could leave Alex with the boys, they would never listen to her!

The training is a huge commitment of time and energy....the marathon itself is the easy part!....my first two marathons were in the late fall which meant the bulk of my training was in the heat....I really do not run well in the heat..... so I decided to do a June marathon which would make most of my training in the lovely spring weather!.....you should do it, Erica!

Oh and I had something really weird happen while at the pool.  Midway through my swim another guy hopped into my lane - which is fine, I justed moved to one side.  He was heading directly down the middle though and I'm thinking "wow he's gonna ram me."  At the last second he goes under the lane divider into the next lane and continues to swim there.  He kept popping back and forth between lanes to avoid passing by the person in the lane.  I wanted to tell him it was ok just keep to one side I wouldn't mind, but I really didn't want to break my rythym.

Watching him dodge back and forth was quite bizarre really

 yeah, that's weird. course, it would have pushed me RIGHT outta the pool (i don't love swimming yet)

do we have a table yet? i haven't gone over all the pages yet.
i REALLY could have put all of this in one post, but where's the fun in that?

Just keep posting and you'll get them back! 

I don't mind it either. It's rather entertaining sometimes  

Beer with lunch. I knew there was a reason I liked you  

Aw, I love the Special K Red Berries. Now I have to fight off the image of scabs when I eat it The Special K Vanilla Almond is seriously the best cereal I've ever had. When I was training a lot, I would eat it every night before bed. Yummy. Can't wait to be able to do that again. 

That was a gift to myself for no particular occasion and I LOVE it. You'll really enjoy having it.
