So even though I swore I wouldn't run any farther than a 5k, I have gotten myself sucked into a longer run! I'll be running in the IL Marathon as part of a relay team on May 1st here in Champaign-Urbana. There are 4 people on a team and therefore each person runs between 6 and 7 miles. I don't know what leg of the race I have ended up with but I'm really hoping for the one closer to 6 than the 7 miler. I have been trying to "train" for this but am SO not motivated by the treadmill and it has been too cold for me to be running outside. I have done it a couple days on our 30 degree evenings but that's about it. It is warming up so I hope tha...

Wow! Talk about a long time since an update! Well Lily is doing just great! She took her first airplane trip in January for Matt and Jenna's wedding and she had a blast! She was SO good on the plane, it was amazing. She colored and played with toys and read books and even took a nap! She's perfect! While we were in Arizona we had a great time! We visited with a lot of family and relaxed. Lily had a blast at Oma's house. The night before we came back she started her signature cough and breathing fast. We had a couple of vials of medicine but definitely not as man...

Ok, so usually I update the website about once a month or so... I'm a little behind! Since Lily's first birthday she has taken off walking. She goes everywhere now! She still has her unsteady moments but is actually really great at catching herself before she falls (I think she practicing to be a gymnast :)). She is also talking up a storm. Not that we have any idea what she is saying, but she tells us all about her day and how it went on the way home from daycare - SO CUTE!!! Her signing is going really well. She consistently signs "eat," "more," "sleep," and "please." She has learned that if she tries to do something but for som...

I DID IT!!! I ran my first 5k on 9/26/09. Three days before Lily's first birthday/1 year after giving birth, I ran 3.1 miles. I had been doing some practice runs and was coming in around 38 minutes. My official time was 35:19 - I shaved off almost 3 minutes! It was crazy. The day of the race Sarah, Emily, Amy, Franni and I decided to meet and pick up our packets, etc. We put on our numbers and warmed up with the very energetic lady from the fitness center. I was pretty sure that I wasn't going to be able to finish after spending so much energy on the warm up. We got in place and had a little pep talk. We all got our head phones in a...
