I forgot to set my alarm this morning (though I did get up before 5 and am on time for work).  Needless to say, I'll have to do my running tonight instead of this morning.  Not that big of a deal.

But, my exciting news... I registered for my half.  It's a different half marathon then I had originally planned.  Instead of running on April 18th, I'll be running on May 2nd.  Brandon and I had been looking at the calendar and realized that I wouldn't have any time to recover from my wisdom teeth being pulled (this Thursday) before the race.  If something were to go wrong with my recovery, I'd be in a bad place.  This is much better!  I'm stoked!  It will probably be my last race of the season... we shall see.

******************************************************************

After work, I took Melanie on a 1.5 mile walk while I delivered some things to a few of the scouts in our ward.  Melanie wasn't feeling too good after her shots and I thought the fresh air would do her good.  She was pretty happy... but it may have been the fact that she was eating a yummy granola bar.

Then, after dinner and Melanie was put down, I went out for an 8 miler.  It was really nice out!  I really enjoyed myself.  I didn't have to stop at a stop light until I was at mile 5 and then not again until mile 7.  I was lucky, because I did pass several street lights, but it just so happened that they were green when I approached them (sweet!)

I hope everyone is having a good monday!

Ah, wisdom teeth. That is not fun!!! You will for sure need some time off for that, so good thinking!

So, where is the half? I am so excited for you!!!

So, less intelligence beyond thursday?

Good luck =)

Kelli - It's called Shiprock Marathon and Half Marathon. I think, if I were in better shape, it would be a good marathon to do... but, I'm not exactly marathon material right now. They only allow 150 marathon runners and 300 half marathon runners, which really appealed to my agoraphia. The Marathon starts at the New Mexico/arizona border and then the half marathoners pick up literally at the marathoner's half way point, at an hour after they started. I'm sure I'll get passed by some speedy marathon runner by time it's all complete. :o( In fact, I'm sure you'd pass me if you were participating. We are staying in Farmington, NM.

Eric - yep. I feel less intellegient just thinking about it!

From Kelli on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 15:30:53 from 71.219.100.181

Small races are good! You will love it and you will do great! Wish I could come cheer you on.

From Camille on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 15:33:54 from 75.171.106.195

I wish so too, but that's okay. You can cheer me on in spirit! :o) When is the Boston Marathon? It's in april, right? the 18th/19th? or 25/26?

From Kelli on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 18:15:06 from 71.219.100.181

I dunno, I am not running it! I am waiting for my husband to qualify and then we will run it together next year.

From Eric Day on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 18:20:17 from 189.192.140.22

If your hubby qualifies, you can run it? Or how does that work?

From Kelli on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 18:22:54 from 71.219.100.181

I qualified in St George this year, but my BQ lasts for 2009 and 2010 So rather than go run it by myself (no fun), my husband has been busting his behind since October so he can qualify either in Ogden in May or in St George in October. If he does not qualify (but I think he will, all of his races indicate he's close) then we will still go and I will run without him. BUT I do not want to do that!

From Eric Day on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 18:28:30 from 189.192.140.22

Ohhh...yo ser ignorante (me be ignorant) !!!

Tell your husband to move that behind harder & faster !!!!

Wish him luck !

From Kelli on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 18:32:33 from 71.219.100.181

He is already a little obsessed, I would hate to see it get worse!

From Camille on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 23:31:07 from 71.223.66.14

I didn't realize you weren't running it this year. That makes sense. It will be so much more fun if you and your hubby get to run it together!

From azdesertmonsoon on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 00:06:17 from 63.228.146.159

I like your new picture.

From Camille on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 00:18:58 from 71.223.66.14

Thanks!

Agoraphia? Do you mean agraphia : a cerebral disorder characterized by total or partial inability to write? Because that totally is you, but just doesn't quite fit the context...

From Camille on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 21:01:50 from 71.223.66.14

Agoraphobia (from Greek aγορά, "marketplace"; and φόβος/φοβία, -phobia) is an anxiety disorder, often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia may avoid public and/or unfamiliar places. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to his or her home, experiencing difficulty traveling from this "safe place."

burt - I was typing too fast and mis-spelled one word... and don't you think you are too clever with your ability to poke fun. Someday I'll be sure to return the favor and you'll get what you deserve.

From Burt on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 21:59:10 from 98.167.151.26

While that may be, that one was just too perfect. partial inability to write...that is rich. As far as one word goes, check the second sentence of your entry. What the heck is a noghit?

From Vickie on Sat, Apr 04, 2009 at 22:33:16 from 98.167.151.26

Oh, Burt, play nice!!
