One Bad Mother Runner

Ha ha ha he he he lol!! Gosh I love the title. I found a shirt with this slogan on OneMoreMile.net and couldn't stop laughing. This is how I think of myself these days. I mean, I am a mother after all! :) So, this running thing. Ugh. Does coughing up half of your lung after only 25 minutes of walk/running count as a breathing exercise? I am so embarrassed at how incredibly out of shape I am! I can lift weights all day, but running.... Let's just say, I started this c25k program on the first and I just finished week three last night. Yup, my three weeks are looking a little bit like four! I keep telling myself that it is okay. I mean, I'm still doing it! I've run outside once and holy moly was that hard!! But I'm still here. I've been neglecting my blog, which seems to be a habit with me, but I will try harder. There are so many awesome people out there in blogland!


And above is where I've been spending my weekends. I love basketball, don't get me wrong, but I am soooo over it! My oldest daughter plays during the week and the two littles each weekend. Numbers 11 and 12 are mine. Don't ya love those yellow shorts! She insisted on wearing them. "They are basketball shorts, mom!" Yep, for Shaq ;) They love (okay, hate) guarding each other!!


Don't you just hate it when you are searching for clip art and find someone has used your silhouette without your permission? ;)

Sorry this is so random. It's my brain. Can't be helped!!

I'm working on a giveaway for one world one heart. Stay tuned. In the meantime, check out the wonderfulness here: awhimsicalbohemian

Peace.

Trish

COMMENTS CLOSED!!! I'll be back later with a new post to share the winners :) Thanks to all who entered!! ONE WORLD-ONE HEART I'm proud to announce my One world-One heart giveaway!! This is my first year and I think it's way cool! A Whimsical Bohemian is the hostess for this amazing event and I "pirated" the follwing paragraph of info about the event from her: "The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and then in 2008 we had just about tripled that number.This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means..

Happy 4th! and... a Giveaway!

I hope everyone had a great holiday! The pic above is of our local fireworks, which we are lucky enough to be able to see from our house :) We had my family over today for a cookout. Steak and chicken on the grill. Yum!!! I chose the chicken. Weird right. I LOVE steak! However, I had two cupcakes yesterday that my daughter made and decorated red, white and blue for a party, so I felt like I'd indulged enough! I love cooking for people. I think I should have more parties :) I ran yesterday for the first time in a long time. I decided to try out the high school track made out of recycled tires. My hip (long story) was sore, but bearable. I started over with Week 5 of the Couch to 5K training program. Figured it was best not to rush it and injure myself again. I had enough left at the end to run the bleacher stairs for 3 minutes!! (My quads were screaming, but it felt oh so good ;) You can't really tell in the pic, but my face was sooo red! I hate that I get this red. My middle d
