Yesterday's 8 miles was just what I needed. I hadn't felt that good in a while! So, training through the week does make the "long runs" easier. I also find that if I don't train, I tend to be more negative. You can read through my blogs & tell. So if they take on a negative/depressing tone, just ask me how the training is going & tell me to get back on track. Chances are, I'm being slack.
My sister turned 30 yesterday. If you saw her, you would swear she was all of 16 years old, being 4'9" and 95 lbs--perhaps more because she's 6 mos along now with my second nephew. We saw "Hairspray" and went to Sal & Mookie's for pizza. We had a good time, but I'm very concerned about her. Months ago, she moved out of our folks' house and moved in with a friend of hers. They live in a very tiny one bedroom apartment. I don't trust this friend. She didn't give my sister a key to the apartment & she uses my sister's car--she has a key, obviously. I asked her had she considered adoption. It seems to be the logical way out of her situation, IMO. My parents are already raising her first son. She has no job, the dad is no where on the scene, and she's being used by her roommate. Of course, my mom is losing sleep over this.
Her (my sister's) response to me (in regard to adoption) was, "No, why, you want it??" As much as I would love to raise my nephew, it wouldn't be the right thing to do. I asked her what if she had an objection to my parenting skills, could she hold her tongue?? She said she wouldn't because it wouldn't be her place, but of course she would say something because I would in that situation. Plus, he (the baby) would always wonder when he gets older why she kept his brother, but gave him up. I don't want him to experience that pain. :(
I advised her to move back home. She said she's thinking about it. She usually takes my advice.

Kim, keep that support and advice for your sister going. She is very fortunate to have a level-headed sister who loves her and is standing by her...a great role model. One day she will get her head straight, mature and become responsible...you are helping her get there. Congrats on a good run!
I agree with Cheryl. There are even options to where she could put the baby up for adoption, but work it out legally to see the child at certain times and be involved in the child's life. The child will grow up to understand.... But the that's the type of situation where the more you say no, the more she will say yes. So, all you can do is hand it to God.
Glad you had a great run. I had quite the opposite. The worst run ever. Well, I will be praying for your family's situation. I know it's soooo hard. Have a great week.
Wow, I will pray for you for this situation to turn okay for all involved. I hate to see her being treated like that by her roommate. Maybe her eyes will open soon and she will move back home--home should look pretty compared to how she is being treated.
