Remember the Ten Run

This weekend was the Remember the Ten run. We did the 5k. It was really good to be back in Stillwater, and it was also good to be able to FINALLY do this run! I'm definitely making this a yearly thing to do. I finished at 33:45 and Jeff finished about 30 seconds after me. I was surprised at how well we both finished. Doug Gottlieb finished right ahead of me, so that was cool! It did rain the ENTIRE weekend. We had thought it was going to hold off during the run, but it didn't. It didn't rain hard, but enough that you were wet! Needless to say, we didn't get very many pics! :(

This is the memorial inside Gallagher Iba Arena...

For those of you that don't know, I was extremely close to Jared Weiberg. I ran in honor of him. I still miss him every single day!

America's Run 2010

Today was the first of my 2 5k's. It was America's Run 2010, and it was at Cowboys Stadium. It was a really cool event, and you got to finish on the 50 yard line! However, there were at least 5,000 people in the 5k! It was just packed the whole entire way. It was really hard to try and set a pace. The website says I finished in 34:07, which is 3 seconds faster than I thought!! :)

They also had a half marathon. Troy Aikman ran it. He did it in 1:49! Not bad Troy!

Here's Troy before the start...

So, here is the start of the 5k...crazy!

Here I am starting...I'm in the very middle with a pony tail! :)

Daddy and Madison got to wait for me to finish, so they wondered around. Here is Miss Madison outside of the stadium.

And, here are Mommy and Madison after the race. Madison is playing with my finishers medal.

So, next weekend is the Remember the Ten run. It's going to be a lot harder than this one, because it's more hilly AND I will have the jogging stroller. I'm sure it will be just as fun though!

Happy Easter!!!

Life Update...

So, this week has been kinda wild and crazy. I got back from my girls weekend in Atlanta, and I had no voice. It was awful. I really didn't feel bad, but sounded horrible. In the end, the doctor said that my vocal cords were irritated and gave me prednisone for a few days. I'm a lot better, but by no means 100%. If I'm not close to 100% by Monday, I am supposed to go back to the doctor.

Also, Madison has been sick again. I really just thought it was allergies. Jeff ended up taking her to the doctor on Wednesday since I was under strict orders not to talk. In the end, the doctor said that she was just starting to get an ear infection and had allergies. So, she's on amoxicillin and zyrtec. This is her FIRST ear infection. I have no idea how we made it this far without one, but we did! She's feeling better and went back to school on Thursday.

I got a speeding ticket this week too! I have no doubt I was speeding, but I really don't think I was going that fast. He said I was going 75 in a 60! UGH! Then today I got summoned for jury duty! JURY DUTY!! UGH!!! I'm not looking forward to it.

But, the BEST news of all is that I got a job! Yep, I'm going to be a geological technician again for a very small oil and gas company. I saw the job, and I applied last Tuesday. I interviewed on this Tuesday, and they offered me the job on the spot! I accepted on Thursday. So, I start the 26th. Miss Madison is going to start going full time at school. She's been doing awesome there, so I hope this is an okay change for her. The only thing that I think will be hard for her is the napping on a mat thing. She's soooo not going to go for that, but I know she will adjust. It's also just going to be a huge adjustment for the entire family, but I know in the end that this is a good move. I feel really good about it, and I'm excited to get back in the game! Wish me luck!
