i forgot about today's picture until i saw someone else's. so i snatched up little red, and put her in the back yard before the sun disappeared. love this one, even tough she looks miserable. :)

i added the next frame, too, just to show she was not being tormented. lol! the outfit is all her choosing!

i was going to quit the project yesterday. just wasn't feeling it anymore. and the movers called, so i've got that on my mind. it's all really happening. i feel like i need to start preparing, even though we a) do not have to pack ourselves, and b) have no where to live once we get there (oh the options for temporary living are .... interesting, i tell you!).

ANYWAY! i was grabbing my camera from upstairs before ethan's school play yesterday, and had to snap this shot of my children so lovingly playing with each other outside - LOL!

i was in a lot of pain from all the running i was doing. after talking to a few runners and the guy at the running store, everyone was telling me the same thing. i was doing too much, too fast. on friday i ran my first 5k in under 30 minutes, and then put my shoes away for a few days. i could barely make it down the stairs friday night because of the pain in my achilles tendon. after 4 days of not working out, or counting my calories i weighed in yesterday with a 3 pound gain!! this morning i jumped back on the saddle (and i am already down a pound and a half from yesterday - whew).

i have decided i am not going to run three 5k runs every weekend for a while. maybe two, with a day off in between. i am going to slow my pace a little as well. though i really enjoy running so far, so fast, my body is telling me to chill out a bit. and if it warms up again, i am going to try running outside again. i hated it so much last year, but with john leaving for CA soon, i am going to have no other choice anyway!

so this morning i got my sneakers on again. and let jillian kick my butt, and burn off 200+ calories. and now i will have a coffee, and get ready to take the girls to story time! i am glad to be back in the swing of things.
