I talked to a really good friend of mine on Saturday.  She really hasn't run since highschool, expect with me for a few weeks before I found out I was pregnant.  When I start running in July, she announced that she was pregnant (with her 5th) and wouldn't be able to run with me until after she had the baby.  Well...  she is 3 months post pardon and ready to hit the pavement.  We got up before the sun and ran through our neighborhood.  I'm quite proud of her.  She did 1.25 miles in 13 min, then we walked home.  She could have gone longer, but her leg was bothering her.  She has a goal of running in a half marathon, but first, some 5Ks.  I'm excited to help her with her goal. :o) 

Personally... I have this aweful pain in my hip.  I'm guessing it's from carrying my daughter for the 2+ hours we were out on Saturday.  If I had known I'd be doing that much walking around, I would have brought the stroller.  O-well.  I may or may not run tonight.  If I don't, I'm planning on doing yoga.  Maybe I can stretch out my hip.

Here's some food for thought:

Happy 12th birthday to my niece Adle!  I really enjoyed making this cake for her!

CAmille- that cake is SO cute! can I copy it for my daughters 12th birthday next week?

From Kelli on Mon, Mar 23, 2009 at 15:02:47 from 71.219.76.202

That cake looks delicious! i am coming back to AZ to get my cake!!!

I am glad you have someone to run with. That makes it tolerable!!!

I'll throw my masculinity out the window and agree with Marion. That cake is so cute!!

From Kelli on Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 18:29:50 from 71.219.76.202

That is so wrong that I come to check on you today and I have to look at that delicious cake again! I think I need to go get a sugar cookie.

From Camille on Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 19:15:39 from 71.223.67.112

:o) You guys make me smile!

Marion, Yes... you most definitely can copy it. Here (on my personal blog) you can see more of the steps to make it: http://bncsmithson.blogspot.com/

Kelli - I'm so sad that I didn't have time to make your cake. When will you be in town next to visit your sister? I totally owe you!

Mike - Your one of those guys that are so sure of your masculinity that you *can* say cute and get away with it!

Kelli (again) - sorry.

Do not be sorry, I was not expecting a cake. (Okay, I cried really hard when I realized you did not make me one. KIDDING!!!!!) And remember, Burt brought me some very delicious brownies so all was well. Burt saves the day.

Honestly, I would not be able to touch one of your cakes. They are too pretty to eat! My son is turning 9 tomorrow and wants a Spongebob cake, so I will make some cupcakes with yellow frosting or something! Or see if I can bribe him to just go to Wingers and get Asphalt Pie!!!

Burt doesn't get to be my knight in shining armor that "saves the day". that part bothers me the most of the whole thing. ugh!

From Kelli on Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 13:03:15 from 71.219.100.181

Man, I am always saying the wrong things! NO WORRIES. The next time I am in town, I will hunt you down and then you will feel all better about it.

I'm like the late Heath Ledger in a Knight's Tale but not Brokeback Mountain.

From Kelli on Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 13:15:58 from 71.219.100.181

Hey, a movie we both finally like (Knight's Tale, not Brokeback Mountain).

They were very good brownies, knight-worthy for sure.
