keeping my family in chuckle mode 
keeping my family in chuckle mode
Finally a break in the rain….had Chris drop me off at the high school, then began my journey for part of the 25k training route. Walked the first 2 miles (since the hill is unforgiving, plus I didn’t know where the mile marks were, I wanted to warm up, I’m a wimp, etc..) Walked the 2, went potty at Gram’s (more on that after
) then ran. What was pretty cool was the fact that Uncle Mike was just arriving back into LaGrange and saw me on the road~ so I told him my plan, but then a mile later, up gram’s road, i decided to make a pit-stop since I’d had so much coffee earlier! I ran in, told them I really wasn’t there, gave them a good laugh~ (I look pretty comical in my run gear, fuel belt, ipod, etc!) Uncle Mike was laughing the most
Only did a 10k in 1 hour-wanted to do more of 25k route. Then it really threatened rain (and got windy) so I couldn’t go the 8 miles I’d planned, and turned around earlier.
Hollywood Freaks = my new running tune."Cellphone’s Dead" is also great. I love crazy funny stuff to run to. It keeps me interested
. When you are running for an hour or more, your thought and prayers can only take you so far, you know?
Well, I should be heading out the door with the Fam to Gram’s so we can laugh all over again…and EAT and have chris’ cake!
Changing the 5 million clocks tonight then singing both services tomorrow~~~

short and sweet
AM:appx 10 mile ride in 39 minutes- chilly….rode into the wind seemingly for the whole bike ride,so it felt uphill all the way: quite a workout for the quads, but slowed me down considerably.
PM:short and sweet 4.1 mile run in 35:30
Busy day again. Kids had a good day at school, time is flying by, etc etc.

mondaymonday
….a good 6 mile run, 53 minutes~grouchy today though. Had a terrible night sleeping. Kindof overwhelmed. so much to take care of, so many people to listen to, and no concentration power. Just constant bantering around me, I have no time to just THINK! Probably why I enjoyed my run so much tonight. Really want to ride tomorrow. Really need to go shopping!

where’s the beef?
5 mile run, 45 min….what’s wrong with me? Where’s the beef?
Then after a quick lunch with the fam, headed out for my (?) last bike ride of the season, potentially…but you never know! 10.41 mile ride in 41 minutes. Slow on the bike as well today~but it was really windy and chilly, which I am not really used to also.
Speaking of beef, I am really considering a vegetarian diet, not because I’m against meat or anything, (I prepare it every weeknight night for my family) but I just don’t LIKE meat.Yes, I do get weird looks from my Sicilian family members! (You don’t like MEAT?) I eat eggs,dairy and fish, so I’ll need to replace just certain vitamins/minerals. But maybe I just need to make it official. Ovo-lacto vegetarian. That, I really am already anyway.
Sienna had a great time last night~and apparently, Alex did a great job at Club Crannel. I wish I could have gone, but so much is going on in my life right now! I needed to chill. I’m not young anymore, you know.

Maybe I’ll actually have a beer.
Cj had his school pics today
He’s my handsome little sweetie. The kids had a good day. Yaay1 It’s almost Friday!
5 miles, hill work (up and down same hill), 45:45. Slow and difficult tonight-it took every ounce of my mind to conquer just wanting to quit. Very tired today- really should have napped this am. Going to bed early.
Maybe I’ll have a beer.
LOL- no, just some red wine with my spaghetti and clam sauce will do tonight

Biking to angel Wings, sienna fits in my ipod, and photo diving yet again! This time, hippies.
17.23 mile bike ride in 63 min. Planned on doing a bike/run brick but I ended up riding longer than intended. I found the ride cleansing. the day was rough- even though it was unseasonably warm out, and perfect weather for the kids, and bikes and running…I was exhausted So was Gram…. the good news is that she let me take home three full photo albums full of family pics, PLUS hippie and awkward pics of me in high school etc. Yes, quite the self-esteem fix.
Would you believe it, I put Sienna in my ipod…she actually fits in there!
Really, I realized i could download Alex’s and Tranquil Core’s songs onto the ipod
yaay. I loved bike riding to "Angel Wings"! I sure as hell need them.

lotsa cleaning
lotsa cleaning.I can’t believe I did everything on my list yesterday. Whirlwind. Made 2 different creamed soups this am, (wild rice and cream of mushroom!)cleaning some more, then later I’ll bike ride and run. My mom is taking Nat out with Faithy for apple-picking, and Chris is at Gram’s with Brad putting down the new flooring. I love the fall. It’s cool and crisp, and makes me want to get everything ready for winter.
I missed pumpkin picking again this year!

Laurie OTH
Busy day, but feelin good. Ran 6 miler in am, then went to Gram’s, and then Aunt so wanted to go grab some calzone and pizza (we are single handedly keeping Vera’s in business, I’d say). CJ had a rough day today 
I think because they didn’t sleep that well after all the excitement of moving the room around, etc. so we had to talk with Mrs. n. after school. i was really sad that he had such a hard time controlling his emotions. He’s been having a great year so far untill now. I FINALLY GOT ON MY BIKE AGAIN! Went for about 1/2 hour, a little over 7 miles- a lot of fun, and stayed real close to home. It was the first time since the crash I’d had- when was it, anyway?-….says my Triathlon trainer log…Saturday Aug 19! Dag, Yo.Rode all around Mapleview, the new houses, etc.
*I found out Laur is in the hospital with kidney stones and her room phone won’t pick up So I’ve been on a phone hunt to reach her and mike….I hope she’s doing better. I remember when chris had stones—it was hell.
So anyway, they’re all going to be early tonight!!!!!
