I knew it would take just a couple of nights of really good sleep to feel better. While I still have a lot going on, at least I feel a little more capable of handling it now.
Before I go any further, I want to share something I'm extremely proud of. I had the great opportunity to chat with a local running celebrity: Michael Wardian. This guys is just a year older than me and he's accomplished so much as a runner. He is great in every race he enters, often winning them. But he's also a dad, a husband, and a successful international ship broker. He is incredibly balanced and has a fantastic outlook on life. Even if you're not a runner, this interview will change the way you look at staying fit. Please take a look!
Speaking with Mike really made me think about how I run, how I put too much pressure on myself causing my races to tank, and how I should just have a good time. The rest should follow.
And I'm definitely making progess with my current challenge: the 100 push up challenge. I finished week 1, and have moved into week 2. Here's what I did yesterday:
Set 1: 9 push ups
Set 2: 11 push ups
Set 3: 8 push ups
Set 4: 8 push ups
Set 5: max (I did 12 push ups)
That's another 48 push ups under my belt!
Anyway, I hope have a great day!

'Cause I Gotta Have Faith
Ok, so my last post was pretty bad. I'm sorry. Thank you to all my friends who checked up on me to make sure I hadn't gone over the deep end. I was really upset when I wrote that post. But I'm doing better now.
The weekend at my parents turned out to be really nice. My brother and sister-in-law came out for the weekend and we all had a great time. We did a whole lot of nothing other than just hanging out, eating, and catching up on life. Did I mention eating? It seems we were eating nonstop all weekend. I had a lot of ice cream, that's for sure. It's a good thing I like to run.
Speaking of running, John and I found these trails close to my parents' house that were awesome. It's a network of trails that literally go on for miles. We got lost for a while, but luckily found our way out. I can't wait to go back there and run on them again.
My mom is doing well. She can't eat a whole lot of solid food, but she is handling it very well. I tell you, my mom is a rock. She has been through so much this year and she just handles it like it's nothing. I wish I had even an ounce of her strength. She has been such an amazing role model for me. She just makes things happen in life and I so admire that. Mom, you're a rock star. I love you.
We have officially begun the search for new schools for Keller. The poor sweet baby doesn't like school anymore. He stayed home with John yesterday because the poor sweet baby got upset at the mention of school. I brought him today, but when we got there he said he didn't like school. I felt so bad leaving him there, but it will hopefully not be too much longer. I have an appointment tomorrow at a new place and we'll go from there. We're also beginning the funfest of potty training. In order for him to go into the next class he will most likely need to be potty trained. Any advice will be appreciated!
So, all in all, I'm doing all right. I have my moments, but I just have to remain positive that everything will work out. No one said it would be easy, you know how hard it has been, but the way things are going....oops. Sorry, I was singing a song (The Ballad of John and Yoko, for anyone wanting to know). But the words ring true.
