Ran a slow but difficult 4 miles. I call it difficult because I was pushing Melanie... and it's HOT outside.  I know I'm complaining, but it is 94 out there... and we are in the last week of October.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised.  Nor should I be pushing my baby in a stoller in the heat.  This is why I didn't run for too long.  When I got her home, she drank her glass of water like *she* had been the one running.  She is too cute.

Update on my Husband from yesterday's run.  I think I killed him.  He is in quite a bit of pain today.  :o(  I like playing the nurse when he isn't feeling well, or is in pain, but I hate to see him like this.

Hey! I've been off the blog for a week and I'm just catching up on yours...

First of all, I'm so sorry your little one had HFM disease. I HATE HATE HATE that one. That is one of the worst ones my kids have ever had. They are so miserable, and there's nothing you can do that really helps. SO sorry.

Cute cupcakes! What a great idea!

ADORABLE ADORABLE costume for your little girl. Hehehe. It is the kind of thing that makes me laugh with delight.

Hope you hubby recovers well. I think I've been in his shoes once or twice trying to run with MY hubby, so I can relate! You're just so dang fit!

I'll tell you what... when I wasn't in shape and we'd go walking/jogging together, he use to tick me off. Once (pre-melanie) I was running and he started doing cartwheels next to me because I was too slow. I'm just glad that I'm able to keep up with him. :o)

Welcome to the blog. I hope your husband feels better.

Welcome to the blog? Am I missing something?

On your running accomplishments you should add:

(2008) Mercilessly ran husband into the ground

From Camille on Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 14:48:03

I should. And add an evil laugh after it. like:

(2008) Mercilessly rand husband into the ground (Maahahaha).

Of course, I'm sure he's response would be "I know where you sleep at night" LOL

This is what he gets for the cartwheels is all I can say. :)

From Camille on Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 15:55:21

Rachel - No kidding. Let me tell you, that totally urked me when he was doing those cartwheels. grrr... he is lucky that a) I don't have the kungfu skills you have, and b) he is just too cute.

From kungfublonde on Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 15:59:33

your kung fu is strong, young one. That's how you ran circles around him when he was dying from only two miles!

Ok, I seriously have to go see what I can find from the 80's. If I post one of Mike, I have to post one of me too, and mine are HORRIBLE.
