Under Construction

This blog will be under construction for the next few weeks.  When I started this blog I just kind of threw it together. I'm kind of computer illiterate. I'm still surprised I even figured out how to get a background! I am amazed at some of the blogs the I have seen! I will be trying to design something that reflects my character a little better than this froofy one. :)

On another note, today is my last day of work before Christmas break!! I probably won't post for a few days while I dive head first into family functions and festivities!

I may not be blogging the next few days, but I will be running.  The boys and I will be running our Winter Misery One Miler!  early tomorrow morning before the Christmas Eve torrential rain begins.  We have several runs planned in the next few days, hopefully I will get some time to get in a few long runs while I'm off.  I don't return to work until the New Year and I am ready, ready, ready for 2010!!

Next week I will post my New Year, New Me- goals and reflections!  A lot of change!!  Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas full of love and blessings!

Grace and peace,

 p.s. (you see the signature? Cute huh? That took me an hour!LOL!)

Whirl wind Week

Actually I should say "Weeks".  December is by far my favorite month of the year, however, it always seems to go by in a blur. Christmas parties, Birthday parties, Christmas programs, shopping, baking, we cram so much "fun" into the month as we possibly can. Every year I make a point to say "next year we won't do so much".  Yet, here we are again squeezing every drop of Christmas fun out of the holiday season. We are definitely enjoying ourselves and so are the kids!

This Christmas season has been different in a way that I didn't imagine it would be last year.  My boys Tyler and Sebastian have run 2 races in the last few weeks.  When I start to lace up my shoes at home both of them are at the door ready to go run with me.  I am usually not a credit hog, but I am taking all the credit for this one! I am so proud to see that competitive spirit growing in them.  We ran in the Rudolph Run 5k and 1 mile fun run this past Saturday.  Both boys wanted to improve on their past time and they both did! PR's all around!

Before the Run

Not only the fact that they are beginning to foster the same love of running that I do, but they are becoming more aware of their bodies and nutrition in a way that I didn't until I was in my late 20's!  I'm so proud of my little men! Now if I could just get hubby to lace up his shoes!;)
