— 1 — This has been a crazy week. We were camping last Saturday until Tuesday. We left on Tuesday for the three hour drive home and were about 25 cars back of a fatal accident. We sat for over an hour on the highway while the accident was dealt with. It was very sad.… Continue reading 7 Quick Takes Friday (v. 4)
— 1 — Potty training took a set back two weeks ago. But I *think* we are back in the game. Normal, right? To have set backs, I mean?

Today I did my third half-marathon. 13.1 miles. In rain. And sleet. But I was (am) well-trained this time. I knew what to eat the past few days (and what not to eat). I knew what to wear this morning, where to park to be close to the finish line, and how to mentally sustain… Continue reading Indianapolis Monumental (half) Marathon
