Just for Fun

Yea! Look at me posting a blog! I'm so proud of myself.

I ran for 13 minutes on the elliptical today. It was likely over a mile but the elliptical is like and alternate running reality. It probably considers it like .1 of a mile or something. ha ha. Anyway, it is great to be able to use it and I feel so much better afterwards. But now I need a nap before Simeon wakes up.

 Hmm, there is something strange. When I enter my sleep time, it adds it to the total miles on my calendar. This is the first time I've used it and I know it had been available for a while so does anyone else have this problem?

Ugh, I started typing this and then I had to get up and go take care of Simeon. When I came back and submitted it I got logged out and so I lost everything I had typed. And I don't really feel like typing it all again. So suffice it to say I did 3.6 miles on the exercise bike and 1.25 on the treadmill. I am planning on running a 5k in March. And I am very very very sleepy because I went to a pride and prejudice movie watching day at Ruth's house. It wore me out but since I wasn't home to get anything done today I don't have time to take a nap. And Simeon won't go to sleep anyway, so it doesn't matter. Grr.....

Oops, I just remembered that Laura asked for news about us. We are doing great. Seth is cute, I am cute, but Simeon is always cuter (j/k). Except when he is refusing to sleep when I want him too, there is nothing cute about that. Ha ha. He seems to be doing a lot of that lately.

Anyway, he is sitting pretty now and loves to sit and roll a ball with daddy or mommy. He is saying "da da da da da da da" now and Seth is trying to teach him who "dada" is. He can also roll over from his back to his tummy now and sometimes he plays the game where he rolls front to back, back to front, over and over and over again. It makes me exhausted just to watch him. And he also is eating finger foods really well now. It's all thanks to those puffs (which he is addicted to). He also wants to feed himself with the spoon so we now have some lovely baby food artwork on our wall :)

I took Simeon for a walk late this afternoon. It was actually a beautiful warm day and I wanted to take advantage of it. Plus Simeon wouldn't take a nap and he was grumpy and I didn't want to have to deal with his grumpiness. He's always happy outside so we went for a walk.

Ack! I did it! I just registered for a 5 k on March 22! Now I'm committed and I'm so terrified!

So before I got pregnant Seth and I used to run together. When we first started running together I told Seth that I kind of like running but I HATE racing! Do you know why I hate racing? Because before every race in high school I would get so nervous and so nauseous. Sometimes I would even throw up. So I can't believe I signed up for a race! Today while I was out doing my run I was thinking about that race and I started getting nauseous. I still can't believe I'm going to do this.

 Seth thinks I'm funny. I told him he doesn't understand. He's never run in a race and even though he's done sports, he has never been the girl in last place that everyone claps for because they feel sorry for her. Ha ha. I told Seth I have been that girl so many times. And then I shook my fist at him.

 Anyway, I'm already nervous about it and the race isn't until March. But I can picture the horribleness of it in my mind!
