Rambling Post to Jump Start Me Again After Not Really Blogging For the Past Couple of Weeks

First things first- I RAN A MARATHON!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!! Yeppers, I did it last Sunday, all 26.2 miles! One life goal down, only about a million to go. It was great. Actually around mile 10 my knee was killing me, I was ready to cry. But then Sarah brought me motrin around mile 14 and I was pumped again (seriously if Sarah hadn’t brought that to me I don’t think I would have made it, I’ve got a stupid bum knee that starts having a really stabbing pain at 8-10 miles, rather obnoxious). I thought I’d be crawling through the finish line, but at mile 22 I was seriously pumped, I was like dude, I can do this. And you know what else, I dragged Steven and Jason along with me ;) They signed up the day before the run at the expo.

Next-We took the girl’s to Disneyland. BTW, bit of advice, do not go to Disneyland the 2 following days after running a marathon, your body needs time to heal, not more abuse. Seriously, in every single picture I looked wiped (the ones I took kinda show it too, that I really wasn’t in the mood to take nicer ones). We did have a blast though. Felicity was like, “Look! Look! Look!” And Seporah was pointing everything out as well. The best part for Seporah was when we went to a Playhouse Disney Play and she got to see Little Einsteins in person. “JUNE!…LEO!….ANNIE!…ROCKET!!!!” It was like the first time she had rode a train, one of the most amazing moments of her whole 3 years of life.

Well I thought about telling about the plane ride home, but let’s just say it was considerably less fun than Disneyland (but maybe slightly more fun than running 26.2 miles ;)

We also saw all sorts of family in California, Aunt Märia, Uncle Mike, Sarah, Jason, Aunt Rhonda, Uncle Bob, Corey, Bryan, Allyn, and all 5 of their dogs and 1 cat. That was pretty cool. the adults looked the same and the kiddos were all growing up. They don’t stop growing do they.
