At it again!

This time I am going to stick with it! I swear!

I started the Couch 2 5 K program (again) yesterday!  The weather is beautiful and there is no excuse to not run...

Except time.  There is never enough time

I already wake up at 5 in the morning to be at work by 8.   So I run at night.  I always have.  It worked out perfect.  I could run at 9, I could run at 7.  I was free to run when I felt like it.    Except now I have Kenny.  So I run around his schedule  I don't like running in West Alton after dark anymore because there are no streetlights and 94 is just to busy for that.  A few close calls scared me of that.  So I have created a new schedule.

My plan is to use my crock pot or make a casserole for my running days.  Pick up Kenny around 5 and get home.  Nurse him.  Then hit the streets with him in the jogging stroller (that is going to take some getting used to!)  By time I am done with my run, Travis should be home and out of the shower.  He can feed Kenny while I shower and then we can eat. No cooking and everyone is happy!  I might even get Trav to join me for a cool down walk around the neighborhood. 

On the nights that it is raining or this plan just goes to hell, I use the treadmill.  On non running days, I shred!

My goal run is to run the Cardinals Care 6K this August in 45 minutes or less.  That is about a 12 minute mile.  I am putting together a team for the 6K if anyone wants to run it! 

 I want to run the GO! Halloween 10K at an 11 minute mile. 

If anyone wants to send me a text or call me and make sure I have my butt in gear, feel free!  I need all the help I can get!

10 months

I can't believe that my baby boy is 10 months old now!  The time is just flying by!  I can't imagine what it will feel like to say he is 1, or 5, or 13.  I am already starting to forget those little newborn things that he did.  He is no longer a cuddler.  He is always, always, always, on the move! 
Kenny is growing every day.  Here are some of things he is doing lately:

Cruising the furniture!  Man can he book it around our couch.  He has started to get a little daring and trying to walk with toys in his hands.  That is usually when we crash and burn.

Starting on finger foods!  He loves hard boiled eggs, and he had some tiny pieces of chicken the other day.  He loves his puffs and will eat a whole container if you let him.

He now has 4 teeth, 2 on top and 2 on the bottom.  He was really biting for a while, but that has seemed to slow down...for now!

Kenny loves to take all of the books and dvds off of the shelves in our family room!  It drives his Daddy NUTS!  I find it really funny!

He just loves to laugh and laugh and laugh!   It is the best sound in the world!

Now I have to start thinking about his first birthday party!  I am really excited but really sad at the same time!  I hate that I have to work, because I feel like I am missing so much of his babyhood!  I guess all moms feel this way! 

Say Cheese!

Monday stinks!
