Why is it that some weeks fly by and then there are those that just drag on seemingly forever? This feels like one of those weeks, but I am sure since we are at the halfway point now it will be Monday again before I know it. Payton stayed with my mom on Monday and Tuesday, so last night Jack and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and the fact that mom was bringing Payton home to get a run in before they got there. I realized on Monday that the FOLEPI 4 miler is the Saturday after Thanksgiving, which means only about a month or so and I should probably not torture the poor kid by making him just run 4 miles cold turkey. He did well, as I expected. I think we got in about 3 miles and were going to keep going, but then I got the most horrid cramp in my side (actually it was more in my diaphragm) and I could barely even get a breath when we were about two blocks from home. So, we called it good and met the rest of the family uptown for dinner. Poor kid woke up this morning with sore legs :(
Everything is all set for Phoenix in January. Airline tickets are booked. Hotel is booked (as of yesterday :)) and Race is registered for. I am starting to think that I may have lost my mind when I decided to do this, but I figure I will finish my sheer determination if nothing else :P I am just looking forward to getting out of Illinois in January!

Welcome to our RnR AZ blog. We'd love to have you post on it. If you'd like to, just email me. I need to get your email address to invite you.
Are you staying at the San Marcos? It's a very historic property in downtown Chandler.
Javamom is planning some get togethers, Tigger is helping a lot too. I am managing the blog. It should be a great weekend.
Cant wait to meet you in January!!!
You're going to love the race, I just know it! You won't regret it! Run it for fun, run it for the challenge and run it for prego old me who can't seem to get any farther than 5 miles.
That is awesome that you are comming to Phx. Keep us posted on your plans on the blog. Now if I can just keep Java~mom from screaming too much.
the week is dragging by? are you crazy?
Anyway, I've been thinking for the last 10 days that I've lost my mind. And, yes, with only 10 miles to run over the next 90 hours or so I'm sure I'll start eating my own flesh soon...oh well, this must be payment for all the good things that have happened in the last 15 weeks. Trust me, it is well worth it - especially after you cross the finish line.
Yay! You ARE running RnR! Get on our blog! Now! Hurry up! ;)
