Some Randoms and the FF Link Up...

Oh Monday morning how I love you... she says dripping with sarcasm!
I have such a hard time getting myself to bed at a decent time Saturday night... I just can't let go of the weekend!

I have a couple of randoms for you today...

- First while I was in UT I did some archery.  My BIL and SIL were getting ready for the bow hunt.  I've always been interested in archery, I'd like to get a bow and just shoot. 
This is a pretty funny clip of me.  Apparently there is a whole technique to the draw-back.  It takes some practice!  I was a little surprised by how hard it actually is!



- I have decided I'm not going to run another marathon this year.  I'll choose a half soon and do that instead.  Training time is slipping away.  I feel confident about a half though and I do want to get one more race in this year.

I plan to run two marathons next year.  I think it would be better to do a spring and fall marathon then triathalon in the summer.  Well that is a novel idea right?  Why didn't I think of that before?  Next year I really want to run the Wine Glass Marathon here in Corning, NY.

- Do you have a Garmin?  Of course you do... I'm sure I'm the last person to get one!  Even my non-runner friends have one!  My fabulous husband got me one for my birthday.  I've waited too long!  I really love it!  AND have you tried Garmin Connect?  It's so great!  Just plug your device in and upload your runs... it keeps your record for you!

Of course I'll still keep my running log.  I like to write about specifics from each run, but all my info is right there!  Love it!


- Last look at this little boy.  I love him!  This spring I was going to get rid of my jog stroller.  I'm so glad I didn't.  O was so over 'stroller rides' a couple of years ago, but my little E still loves them. 

Thank heavens for that because it has been so werid trying to find my time to run with our new schedules.  This past week we ran after taking Q to school.  It was perfect!  He is such a good sport!

Have you ever run while pushing a stroller?  It's serious business!  It's tough!  It throws off your posture, arm swings... or lack therof... it feels like you are constantly on a hill...  BUT, it makes you stronger!  I'm thinking we'll go with this until it's too cold for E.

Wednesday was super hot, plus my first time pushing the stroller for a while.  I had to stop once and E offered me his water, so nice!  He asked if I was ok and wanted to know why we stopped!  He also told me I go really fast.  That's nice to hear, better than 'mom can you go any faster this is taking forever', that I used to hear from O!!!


 Is this really what I look like from his point of view?  That's an interesting sight to see!
I can see how adults are intimidating people from that point of view.  Makes me think I don't want to be so scary to my little people!!!  I look like a big scary monster! :)

The very next day it was rainy.  Never fear we have the shield.  It was so dirty, good thing it was raining because it needed a bath!


Go Power Rangers!  E is totally into taking pictures right now.  We do it several times a day!  He likes to see his funny face and be in control of capturing mine!  Simple pleasures!
