Photo Friday!

Yesterday afternoon my two little guys behaved incredibly well and I was able to run for 5.5 miles on the treadmill. It was great. Conal ran around, Niall laid next to me. At one point, Conal decided he needed to "protect" Niall so he surrounded him with hockey sticks. Nothing like the logic of a 3 year old . . .

I thought they were so cute that I had to stop my run for a sec to snap a pic.

My view from the 'mill:

As much as I'm happy to be getting my runs in on the treadmill, I'll be really glad to get to run outside this weekend! Yahoo!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Photo Friday!

I don't want to jinx myself but, yay! Things are going really well just about two weeks into the whole "mother of two" thing.

Sure, I'm getting a little less sleep than I normally do (or, in the case of last night, a lot less sleep than I normally do), but I'm also getting used to it. I feel like I've been adjusting well and, in fact, I've been walking a bit and doing some Exercise TV workouts and generally feeling great. So, no complaints here, just a lot of good stuff. Two weeks in and Niall is, for the most part, a great sleeper. And he's so sweet. And adorable. And cute as can be. And . . . oh, am I gushing? Sorry. Can't help it these days!

Anyway, here are some pics for those of you who are interested:

Resting with the cat, who isn't quite that huge in real life. I swear!

So, that's that. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Photo . . . Thursday?

I have a review on tap for tomorrow so no Photo Friday for me. Instead, today I bring you some photos from last Saturday's 5K:

Spectating is hard -- where are my cookies?

Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom. Post-race cookies rock!

I can so do this running thing.

Missed my goal. Wondering what's next.

Today is my last day with a one-year-old. Holy cannoli! My little guy turns 2 (eek!) tomorrow. Lot's to do!

New stuff and Photo Friday.

First, the new stuff. I've been added to the Alltop list. Sure, I'm waaaaaay down at the bottom of the list but, hey, I'm a newbie. Give a girl a break! Also this week, I started using Twitter. I don't know. I guess I can't get enough of the time wasting? You'll find my updates on my sidebar and, if you are interested, my profile is here.

Now, on to my contribution to Nikemom's Photo Friday!


Do you think we have March Madness around here?

Happy Friday, everyone. Have a great weekend!

Photo Friday

Yay, it's Friday! And, I'm in for Nikemom's Photo Friday this week.

Now, as you know because I have whined about it several times in the past, we have to worry about the cold up here. But that doesn't mean we forsake fashion. Oh, no. We're concerned about all things sartorial. We want to be hip and cool and with it. So, this week, my Little Jobber has a question for you:

"Do these gloves make my hands look too big?"

"Really, be honest."

He loves to wear my gloves and my running shoes. And my regular shoes. I guess he likes things loose and comfortable.

Anyway, enough about the Little Jobber (you can read all about him here, if you are ever interested). I had a totally blah, cruddy run last night but, whatever, I'm not going to dwell on it. Instead, I'll dwell on some of the good stuff. Like this weather. It's significantly better today (thanks for asking, BR!); the sun is shining and it's in the high 30s right now. Woo hoo!

Have a terrific weekend, everyone!

TGIF Photo Friday!

I finally got around to participating in Photo Friday over at Adventure Seeker.

I could have taken a photo of the snow that is falling so quickly all around. But it's just such a gray, blah snowy day. So, instead of snow, I bring you a photo of my little guy.

Enjoy, stay warm and be careful out there on the roads.

I want YOU to have a great weekend!
