Delinquent Blogger

Been a little busy lately. Still trying to get ready for Chicago. Will's been looking at the marathon website and picking restaurants & using Mapquest. We are driving to Chicago & then after the marathon, we're headed to Michigan to visit family. So, I'll be gone a little over a week. I've been trying to get things together at work so the continuity of workflow will continue in my absence--keep the calls to a minimum.

When I first decided to do MM, I was a little hesitant because Will & I have been next up on an adoption waiting list for a while. I jokingly told him we'll probably be taking a kid along with us to Chicago. It turns out our SW called us and wants us to come into the office. My mother in law graciously offered to care for our child while we're away, but I want our child to come with us. However, this is jumping the gun a little. She just wants to see us; she didn't mention bringing the carseat. Still, I can dream, can't I?? :) Speaking of babies, my brother will be bringing the family down 2 weeks after the marathon; so I will finally get to meet Alexa J. And, my sister is waddling. She's due in late November and looks bigger than she did when she was pregnant with my first nephew.

I've been pretty healthy as of late. Nothing hurts, no headaches. Today's run was pretty good except I didn't stretch as well as I should have and the ITB started a mini rebellion at about 7.5 miles. When will I ever learn???

Our next run is in Chicago!!!!! :) See you then!!

Kim, thank you so so much!! My grandfather has had prostate cancer and one of my dear friends just got back from MD Anderson for 7 weeks dealing with the same thing. I believe they will be ok! I HATE cancer! I have decided not to run until the marathon. I rode my bike today. I just want to keep my knees doing well. I will be running in two knee braces. :o) Well, i better go. See you in "The Windy City!!"
