^gotta psych myself up to do my first run since my marathon tonight.

Maureen: good luck with all the snow!

Sherry: That poor mom! I'm glad you took some time to talk to her, she must feel so trapped with all that her hubby is saying and everyone else being upset.

So, I finally am caught up in my basic chores. The only added things right now I need to get done are routine doctor visits for me and all three kiddos. Hopefully can call and schedule those today. In the 80s all this week here so actually pretty warm! Have oldest child's parent/teacher conference this morning before school. The other two are Thursday afternoon. This evening I want to go for a quick two mile jog just to get warmed up a bit before my 5K this weekend. My sister is nervous and keeps telling me she won't be very fast. I keep assuring her...I not fast either and this is just for fun. I think once she actually experiences a race and sees all the different types of people and all the different speeds she will really enjoy it. Not put so much pressure on herself.

Have a great Tuesday!

Good luck with your run tonight Val! Remember it might suck, and if so that's okay. My first run after my half my trainer told me it would suck, and it did. I can't imagine that gets much better after a full marathon? Looking forward to hearing about it.

My cold came back for round 2, so I basically slept and red all day Sunday and yesterday. Had to cancel my trainer last night, which I hate doing. I have gym clothes with me today but might just take one more rest day since this has just kicked my *kitten*.

Hi. Enjoy the run Val.

Hope you feel better soon Laura.

We drove 3 hours a bit south and then back to ocean to spend day at Fort Bragg. Going to state park on beach to hike and enjoying a new area.

We hiked at Patricks Point yesterday.

Had 3 days in a row here of warm sun. Its great

val, have a nice run. A 5k with sis this weekend sounds fun. I'd love to do smthg like that with my sis.

Marla, I'm envious of all of your beautiful, mild weather, sunshiney, oceanside hikes! We have coast, but the concrete jungle goes right up to the beach...so no hiking.

Laura, we are always in the same boat! Kindergarten has struck again and has left lil girl and I sick again! Ugh. I took not one, but TWO naps today and still feel like crap. Keeping lil girl home tomorrow, but must do shopping at some point tomorrow.

Legs had a good day. Messaging with the crossfit gym to see if it's a good fit for me. Might stop by to see it one day when this cold passes. The price is standard range and I could spring for it for 3-4 mos, but waiting to hear about language barrier and class timing for beginner vis-a-vis my schedule. I'm also worried because I've gotten into such bad shape...shoulda found this place a year or two ago.
