sniffle cough hack spit

Is that enough to gross you out? It's what I've been doing for 2 days now. Coughing and hacking my brains out. Going from a runny nose to a stuffy nose. It is so annoying! It started as what I thought was allergies. Now it's in my chest and we all have it. The boys are all doing better. If we could just get our two year old to blow his nose. He doesn't know how to! Any ideas?

So, I have been running my usual distances. I was debating the St. Gregory's 5K this weekend. It is an hour from here and the race starts at 7:30 am. I also need to register and that would mean we would have to leave here extra early. This race earns points though for the running club I belong to. So...we shall see. My long run this weekend is 8 miles. I'll probably head out to Lake Hefner trails or the Oklahoma River trails. We shall see. I also HAVE to get new shoes. I'd like to get them this week-might have to do that tomorrow.

I am very excited to run the Race for the Cure 5k next weekend. My friend organized a team this year-boobylicious-we'll be in black t's with our team logo-I am pumped and not only is it a great cause, but it is important day for me because it is one year (hooray!) of running for me. It is the first race I ran and it has lead to an exciting year for me. I know I have much to learn and am doing so through the club I joined as well as reading so many of your blogs. They give advice and laughter so thank you bloggers.

I have a personal goal set for the RFTC. I am going to try finish in 30 minutes. I think I can do it. My brother has been training me mentally over the phone and he knows I can do it. (Balls to the wall, sister!) He finished his last race in 24 minutes-sigh. If I do, awesome. If not, it's okay too. I will not beat up on myself anymore. It's not healthy. I am doing a wonderful thing and time is just relative. That's about it.

So, off to blow my nose and get the boys in their jammies.
