26.2 miles

-
I have stayed up hours past my bedtime tonight (with my husband MIA for the weekend) in order to do something I've been dreaming about since 2010. When I first started running (I was more in the Jeff Galloway school but my accident then), I was going to register for a full marathon.

Then I looked at the training and realized that was not the time. So 2010 came and I ran my first half. In 2011 I ran my second and third. And this year I ran my fourth. I am so proud of each of those accomplishments, but I've still had in the back of my head to run the full monty.

I had girl friends who started running approximately when I did who have blown me out of the water and ran 26.2 before me. They've done awesome. And I've eyed their times with envy.

I cannot wait for May 5, 2013. I will be running my first full marathon! I'm psyched and so nervous.

And now, because I've stayed up so late, I'm going to clean up my sewing project and hit the sack. My kids will be up in 6 hours, 7 if I'm lucky.

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read...

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp...
