a full 29 seconds faster than my last 10K!

it was an awesome race and running through Hollywood Studios and Epcot with no one else around was truly amazing.  I gave Minnie Mouse a big hug when I crossed the finish line.    It was really fun.

i would LOVE to be on someone's crew for this.  i would say i'd love to run it myself but i don't think i'll ever be in good enough shape (or have enough time to train) for something this huge.  how amazing it must feel to finish this run.

It is still so amazing to me how very quiet our house and neighborhood is ( Read more... )

* sang in his crib for an hour before falling asleep at naptime.
* ate half of a red pepper.
* loves tofu and pineapples.

* gets to wear a baby hospital gown tomorrow.  a little sad but i think it's kind of cute!

* won't stop taking the Fight Club DVD's out of the case... just wait until you're big enough to watch it, Sidney!!

This week I was supposed to run 5 miles on Tuesday and Thursday and 9 miles on Wednesday.  I was supposed to be in NYC on Wednesday so i knew i wasn't going to get my long run in so i did 10 miles on Tuesday with the plan of doing 5 yesterday and today ( Read more... )

1) finish.
2) run across the finish line.
3) finish under 5 hours.
4) finish healthy/uninjured.
5) enjoy the run

30 days left.

I need a catchy phrase/slogan/sentence to potentially print on:

a) my running hat
and
b) shirts for my family to wear at the marathon.

the hat and shirts don't need to read the same.

thoughts please???
