5 pre- half miles with Nicole and Anya-- it was so nice to run as a group again. Nicole pushed Denali in the Bob. Easy run at BPA with good conversation.

Awesome, wonderful weekend. Ran my first half marathon with my family, Nicole and Anya. It was just so amazing and fun. Nicole hosted everyone at her family's home so the night before we had fun playing games, drinking beer, and eating.

The weather was perfect it was warmer than normal and the sun was shining, at times on the course with out shade I thought it would be nice if it were cooler:). This was a great race, everyone was so nice and they had good food. The course was super pretty even though it seemed like it circled the town dump. Mossy trees and flowing river, pretty country side and farm animals, it was very scenic.

Nicole was second and Anya was fifth for their races and age divisions. I'm so proud of my speedy freinds. They worked thier butts off and totally deserved it!!! I want to run TONS of races with these girls!!

I'm happy with this time but I know I can do better if I choose to:).

4 miles with the baby it was SO warm out. This was a terrible run, my lungs were burning and I felt naseous the entire time. I think I might have a slight hint of sickness but I'm not sick.

Green River Trail with D, we caught a little break form the rain. This run took more energy than I have, definilty not as bad as Fridays.

4 really slow miles-- I'm still feeling a little under the weather but not full on sick. Just don't have much energy. This was a special run however, my dear baby stayed awakes to coo and talk almost the entire time. She was looking around and smiling and laughing so sweet that girl is.

On another note, I went to Fred Meyer to get Chia seeds and try it-- they were out:( A gal at my work has lowered her cholesterol by 100 points (seems huge, I don't know for sure though) just with 1 tablespoon mixed with 1 cup of water a day. She says she feels great but she would'nt call it a miracle drink:). I MUST try it!!!

Run with Nicole at BPA, I wish I could have ruun much longer-- I think I should try to come earlier and we could do 10 miles each Thursday!!! That would be awesome.

Running at BPA with Nicole and BOB. It was still raining and the power lines were crackling. I didnt dress warm enough and I felt self consious because the rain made my shirt stick to me and it was just weird. Ughhhh I really NEED summer to start soon-- Neeeeed-- it!

It was super sunny and beautiful all day until we decided to run. Nicole was super nice and came to the house so we could run the Green River Trail. I was excited we were plannign on 10-12 miles. The rain made for a cold start and it didn't really let up we were completly drenched and it was freezing cold rain too! Still I think considering the conditions we did pretty good.
