Miles for Smiles

Yes, I know I look scary in this picture, but I did just finish a race in the freezing, cold rain. I ran a 5K (3.1 miles) today, and it was fun. Most people would agree that the words run and fun should not be in the same sentence, but I did enjoy it. I was the 1st place female finisher in my age group 25-35. I finished in 22:96, which is 7:35 mile pace. My next race will be the Columbus half marathon (13.1 miles) on May 1st. Hopefully my training will get my hopes up, because the half marathon is 10 more miles than the race I did today, and that seems so far. Oh well, if anything it will be fun to run and accomplish one of my goals. Oh no, there I go again, fun and run in the same sentence.

Our sleeping arrangement

-Chase sleeps in a huge king size bed all to himself
-Brody sleeps on the couch
-Baylor and I share his little bed

How does this happen you might ask. Well, everyone in our family is sick with a cough right now, and therefore everybody wakes up with cough attacks during the night. Chase's is usually around 1:30, so I bring him into my room, because Baylor freaks out if Chase wakes him up. Baylor then has a cough attack at 4:30, and the only way I can get him to go back to bed without waking everyone up is if I lay down with him. Brody has the loudest cough you have ever heard, so he sleep downstairs on the couch.

Yep, Chase definitely has the best set up on this big ol' bed all by himself

No more pictures


For about the last month this is what most of Chases pictures have looked like. As soon as I get out the camera and try taking pictures, he starts grabbing at the camera yelling, "No, no". After which he lays face down on the floor bawling about the horrific experience he just went through.

So I think I may stop using the camera, since it is such a traumatic experience for Chase, and let Baylor draw our pictures instead. I know what you are thinking, these drawings pretty much look exactly like us, right? I never realized how much I looked like Mr. Potatohead. Thanks for the portraits Baylor.
