Meet Lily

Here are a few facts about Lily...

• she's about 2lbs, and should be 4-6 full grown
• she's scared of loud noises
• her arch enemy is the broom
• she loves to sneak up the stairs
• she hates when anyone leaves, and is super excited when they get home
• she loves to go wake the kids up in the morning
• surprisingly, she doesn't like to ride in the van, but thankfully she didn't mind on the 16 hour ride home when we got her
• she's totally spoiled :)

Ok, ok, ok...I'll blog, Renee!

My boys

Here's my new favorite picture of the boys(all three)!

My Dad, the race car driver!

Our family recently cheered on my Dad as he raced around the track at 140mph!! No, he doesn't have a new job, but he did really get to drive a race car. It was the Nascar Experience at Nashville Superspeedway. I think he had a blast, but we all had fun watching him too!

i can finally walk/run again!

It's been a month since I was able to walk/run. Obviously I've been walking, but it was with a pronounced limp, and that was only out of necessity. Yesterday I was finally feeling like walking/running again! I only did three laps, and I maybe ran one, but it felt so good! And I didn't let the fact that my bandaid was completely stuck to my (slowly healing) wound stop me. Or the fact that it was incredibly hot. I consider it a success!

5k- week three

Ok people, it's week three! Here are the results...

5k 05-02-11
41 minutes
i ran 4 laps out of 5

My new motto is 'no excuses', because I'm usually full of them! Today, I was trying to get my run in because I probably won't have another chance this week. I'm having a minor procedure done on my foot in the morning, and I'm not sure when I'll feel like running again. It looked like it was going to rain today, so I hurried to beat it, but it never materialized. I also forgot my armband and headphones, but thankfully I found some headphones in the van. It doesn't really bother me to have to carry my phone, so that wasn't an issue. It felt great to get it done! I even had enough energy at the end to run faster for the last 30 seconds or so. It's my version of sprinting, because you'll never see me actually sprinting!!
