Happy Birthday to me...

No - it's not my birthday, at least not yet. But I have procured my gift...tickets to The Killers. I found some on craigslist - and probably paid too much for them, but I want to go. So - it is my birthday present. I thought I would take up the Stinchfield practice of purchasing my own gift in advance. I think Dave is up to his birthday in 2009 - as far as advance gifts go.

Wicked is this weekend - I have been listening to the soundtrack faithfully. Marnie will be here and we're excited to see her. Then we get a visit from Kim & Treven - it is going to be a nice September.

Boys' soccer games begin this Saturday. Isaac has been battling the flu this week, so I'm not sure if he will play or not. Morgan's first day of pre-school is tomorrow. She can hardly contain herself.

Dave was called as Scoutmaster. His life is now consumed with scout meetings and reading scout materials. Between that and coaching Parker's team and training for the marathon, he is one busy man. He is excited for the call, however, and is determined to do his best. No doubt he will.

OK, ladies. My running log. So far this week, I have run M/T/Th - and plan to run F/S. My goals at this point are simple: run without a break - no more pretending I need to stop to tie my shoe (yes - brutal honesty - I've done this) when really I just need to stop and breathe! So far, so good. Question for Tracey - I think you face the same dilemma as I do with winter approaching and children at home. Do you take them out in the cold and run anyway - or do you wait for Tom to be home, and then run? I am looking for a solution...I don't want winter to stop me in my tracks. In January, it rained solid for 29 days - I need to get around the weather.

Anne - love the pictures of Andrew. He is such a little man! I'm so happy for you guys.
Mike & Brooke - can't wait to hear from you guys - you've been constantly on our minds! Hope the trip went well.

This is getting too long and I need to start the day. Love to all.

    I wish I had a good plan for the winter, I am dreading it also. I finally feel like I am making progress and adding distance to my runs without killing myself (and as a bonus my "baby pouch" is finally getting smaller!) Anyway, for the log, I ran the 5k Monday, then I ran yesterday and today. I hope to go on a long run with no kids tomorrow. I am going to look at the month to month rate for a Curves membership, or the rate for the indoor track in Cleveland Heights because I can take my stroller there, but both require way more money and effort...Maybe we should just go stay with Marnie for a few months, her place looks really nice!...I'll keep you posted.

    Hello Stinchfields! Tracy and Adina, how often and far are you running? I am trying to do the same but need a target of what I should be doing. We are also going to be in Portland the weekend of Kims baby shower and I would love to come. Do you think I will be invited? Adina, Buffy, and Barb - would any of you be interested in Time Out for Women on October 21st in Tacoma? I would love to hook up.
