Feeling Fabulous

Yesterday I woke up feeling great!! My head and sinus pressure was almost completely gone. After being sick for 2 1/2 weeks I was very excited. I got up, showered (before noon), and put on make-up...Jim was so pleased. So what does a girl do?? Shopping!! I went out and spent lots of money (thanks to our tax return). I love a good shopping high.

My 2nd half marathon

On Valentine's Day I ran in the surfside half marathon. This was a bad idea. I missed the last week of training because of the flu and I was still not completely healthy for the run, but I wanted to do it anyway. The weather conditions didn't help. I was extremely windy...like knock you over windy. Around mile 9 my body just quit and I couldn't run another step so I had to walk...which I hate. I mean, you don't sign up for a marathon/half marathon to walk it, right?? So I'm walking, completely exhausted and struggling to breathe when the temperature dropped and it started to rain. It was pretty miserable. But my most favorite part was the barely recognizable, half decomposed dolphin and its fabulous fragrance that laid on the beach. I got to pass it on the way out and on the way back! Yum. Oh well, everyone has a bad run every once in awhile right? I've got one more half marathon that I'm signed up for. It's the Provo half and I'll be running it with my sister. This is her first half marathon so she's pretty excited. I'm looking forward to a better race. I know it will be better because it couldn't be much worse!

The Flu

I can't remember the last time I had a fever...oh wait, it was today. Jacob got it first on Saturday night...fever, chills, etc. Then, today I started and Larkin was right behind me. I always feel so bad for the babies who get the flu. They don't know what's going on..just that they don't feel good. But, she's super cuddly.
