Long Overdue!

It's been over a month since I last posted and I apologize!

We went to Myrtle Beach in mid-August and it was FANTASTIC! It was the first time going since I was about 4 years old and I LOVED it! I actually left there wanting to move there at some point in my life. The beach was great, the weather was perfect, and I had such a great time with my family and friends. The house we rented was just right and was in such a great location! I could go on and on about how wonderful it was but then again, if you've ever been, you already know!

Kenny is now playing flag football and in-line hockey. He's definitely keeping me very busy with running him to practices and games. It all worked out so that the two don't practice or have games on the same day but then that also means that a lot of my days or nights are busy with this sports. That's okay because he says he loves both of them so that's all I can ask for!

In addition to all of Kenny's sports stuff, I'm also in the middle of training (if that's what you want to call it) for running a 5k in October. If you know me, I don't run and I don't like running. At least that's what I've always said. I've ran a few times now and am starting to look forward to my weekly runs. The first time I ran it, I just did what I could. I ran but also walked some. The next time, I (along with my friend Amy who is also running the 5k) ran the entire thing without stopping. Granted, it took us over 38 minutes to do so but we didn't stop. We were very proud of ourselves until I got home and mentioned it to Rob. He had to prove (I guess to himself) that he could beat our time. Well I'd freaking hope so. He was in the Marines so he should be able to run faster than us. He finished it in 28 minutes and felt the need to gloat the rest of that evening. Whatever....

Rob's behavior didn't discourage us at all. We've slowly gotten better with our time, running it now in about 33 minutes. Another friend, Jason, keeps telling us that it shouldn't be about the time we finish but that we finish. Yeah, yeah. It's also about our time...and that's because of Rob! :-) Either way, I'm excited for the 5k as I've never done one before and will be glad to say I have. I'll continue to keep you posted (hopefully) on the progress or the run.
