Santa Run 2012

Friday morning I woke up super early with Jeremy and Kyle and headed to the start the Santa Run. I walked/jogged this run last year and this year i have been training and this was my first 5k that I was going to run the whole thing. I was nervous. I had nightmare about the run the night before. I knew i could do it phically but mentally I was stressing.
We we got to the start and I got my race packet, put on my Stanta Suit and was ready to go. It was cold (like 34*), I knew that was toing to be the biggest challage for the run cause I am use to running in my very warm gym. Next they call for all Santas to come to the start. I was really suprised at hiw few people were running, there was only about 150 maybe 200 Santas running. We did some fun warmups as a group and than the count down and I was off. I had some technalical diffically with my music and could not be bother to fix it so I ran with out music. The course was out and back twice. It was cold and my face was freezing but I was running and I was not going to stop till the finish line. At the first mile my phone told me in my ear that it was a 9:45 min mile. I was so shocked to hear that. I had never ran faster than 10:45 miles. I got worried that I was not pacing myself. But I felt great. I was pasing people this year, last year i got lapped and this year I was running. I was proud of myself. I kept running and gave it my all. I crossed the finish line at 25:18. In one year I took 20 mintues off my time. I am hooked. I am looking for my next race. I never never never ever thought I would say this but I am a runner and I enjoy it.

I placed 13th over all the women and 2nd In my age group.
Let me say that again cause It feels so good to say it
i placed 13th over ALL the women and 2nd in my age group.

Heres levis snow cetching face. Its his birthday tomorrow and he is really excited about turning 6. He is smart. He is emotional and I love watching him grow and become a wonderful little man.

Ice Skating Lessons

Levi had his first ice skating lesson tonight and he LOVED it. I had know idea that he was going to enjoy it and do as well as he did. The first lesson was free but after seeing how well he did and how much fun he had i signed him up for 6 more lessons. I hope he contines to do well and enjoy it.

All ready to go

Levi took a bunch of hard falls and one time he smacked his face on the ice and started crying but he pulled himself together and did not miss a beat. By the end of the lesson he was skating from one end of the rink to the other. Now he wants to play hockey. I better get better dental insurance.

Update

Its been a long time since i have blogged. Life seems to be very busy and was going at light speed this sumer.
The weather has started to cool off and that means that my babies will be having thier birthdays in the next two weeks. Both of them are super excited about thier birthdays.
Levi is doing great in kindergarten. He is learning new stuff and loves to read. Its so fun to hear his version of what he learned and how his day went. He told me last week that Christopher Columbus did a very bad thing but could not remember what the bad thing was.
Kyle trys so hard to keep up with brother but hes still my baby and loves to whine and scream at the drop of a hat.
Jeremy has been working insane hours this summer and we hope it will return to normal soon.
I have been working out and exercising ALL the time and am very slowing starting to feel better about myself.

Me and the boys just went to CA for the weekend for Jeremys sister Rachels wedding and i got to see my family while i was there.
Here are some pictures of the last CA trip.

Jeremy's company puts on a huge summer party every year for the whole family. We had a lot of fun this year. Jeremy's team won the tug of war and he got a flashlight and head light. Levi got called on and interviewed in front of everyone and got a huge lantern. They did the candy cannon which is always a huge hit. Here are some pictures from the party.
