Where does the time go??

Time is flying by so quickly. The weather is turning a corner and fall is in the air. The central air has been turned off and the windows have been openened. And that means I need to get my tail into gear!!!! Before we know it January will be here!

So, there has been questions about what my itinerary looks like as far as races.

October 12TH- Make a Wish run for fun. 10 miles
October 26TH A whole bunch of us from the ED are going to Cape Cod and running the Falmouth Marathon as relay teams. It will be my first time in Cape Cod and Dave and I are going children free.
Then it will be training until January.


Elijah is growing up too quickly. He is officially a walker. He officially is a BOY and all BOY. He definately knows how to smash and destroy things. He loves loves loves talking on the phone and has lots to say. I just took him to the dr's and he is 24 lbs 10 ozs and 32 inches tall. As David says, he is a tank!!!

Hannah is doing well in 2nd grade. She will be in for some dental work shortly which will include pulling 6 of her teeth and having dental appliances installed that will stay with her until she is at least 12.

This weekend we are hoping to catch some sun shine in order to get up tot he Big E. Wish us luck.

No new pictures for now sorry!!

The joys of children

Life is going well here. The weather is becomming nicer which is making running a lot easier. I have a new running partner : Hannah. She has ran with me at the end of my runs on 2 occasions and is hooked. We decided to sign her up for the kids 400m at Disneyworld and she is very excited.

I have officially reached my minimum fundraising amount of $600. Thank you to all that have donated to the cause!!! Now I am just going above and beyond raise as much as I can for AT reasearch.

Iw rote an artice for the CT Emergency Nurses Assoiciation which I hope will be published in their newsletter.

Octoberfest

This weekend we had the opportunity to go to Octoberfest in New Milford. My mom came up and aunt Cyndi and Aunt Lou lou joined us. It was a great time filled with food, music and of course dancing!

Another school year

This is how Hannah spent her summer: with a full head of hair. A few months ago she wanted to cut her hair short like mom. I told her if that was the case she should donate her hair to locks of love and showed her pictures online. She at that time did not thin it was a good idea, and I told her that was being a little selfish. She changed her mind about cutting her hair on the way to SnipIts. Well she wanted to get her hair cut again and said that she would donate her hair to the kids. And so we went.






Hannah is sporting a cute new bob and went that way to her 1rst day of school . She was excited and proud to give her hair to kids with diseases that make their hair fall out.

One!

Can you believe that Elijah is one already? Where does time go? It is amazing. We are blessed with a happy little guy who enjoys everything in life. We were lucky enough to have Aunt Cyndi and Uncle Todd allow us to party at their house.

Grandpa Jorge flew in from Puerto Rico on Thursday. He had a great time while here and enjoyed being around the children.

Hello Ladies!

Marathon training week 3

This was the first week that I did not reach my minimum mileage. I had miscalculated the day of the petit road race. For some reason I though it was saturday not Sunday. So that was 3 miles at the end of my week that I did not have.

Monday 3miles: mile 1 11:01 mile 2 14:45 mile 3 15:19 Heights Drive run
Thursday 2 miles: mile 1 13:28 mile 2 13:19 Heights Drive run

The Petit Road race sponsored by GE was held on Sunday July 20th. It began at 9:30 and one of my coworkers ran with me. The weather was humid, hot and yucky!!!! The race was to benefit the Petit family foundation.Dr Petit lost his wife and 2 daughters after 2 men invaded their home and they ended up being murdered. It was a great event with a great turnout.
I really wanted to try and shave some minutes off of my original 5k time. This ended up not happening. However I did not come in last by a long long run and did not come in last in my age group by over 30 people which was nice. My final time was 40:49.
