"Congratulations"

"This is Tiger Woods. You have just completed your fastest mile." is what I heard after my run tonight. I ran my butt off. I beat my 4 mile time by 1m 30s!!! I decided to mix it up a little and run some intervals - so that is what I did...and I ran 4 miles in 36m 50s!!! Here is my Nike+


Jimmy also ran his best time tonight - I think it had to do with him being on the treadmill right next to me :) He ran his 4 miles in 28m 31s!! Crushed my time...but heck he's never had a baby. :) Ok that has nothing to do with it...he's in amazing shape...but it makes me feel better!! :)

Work dragged on so much today. At least it is Friday night...and the weekend is here. Packed as it may be...it is here, thank goodness. And next week is my week of only 3 days of work...which is good, because I miss my Charley when I am at work :( And I think this week she has been missing me too. When we have dropped her off at the babysitters the past 2 days she has cried for us as we leave :( it makes me sad, though I know she is ok about 2 minutes later...but still.

I feel like we get home from work, pick her up, feed her dinner, go to the gym - where she goes back to daycare - and then come home and put her to bed. It feels like we have no time together. So my goal this weekend is to have as much Charley time as I can.

Tomorrow I have weigh in first thing in the morning then we have some errands to run. We have my girlfriend's daughters 1st birthday party at 4:30. This is the girl I watch on Tuesdays - she is 3 weeks older then Charley. So it should be fun. Then I have to leave around 6:30 to head to VA for a going away party for my old roommate who is moving to Huntsville, Alabama in 2 weeks. :(

Here is my menu for the day - I at a lot of filling foods again. Today for lunch though, I just couldn't do the chili again, so I took cereal - since we didn't have much else in the house I could take...and the cereal didn't hold me over at all. I ate all of the food I took to work, then had more. Note to self - need to bring a lunch with a larger amount of protein.

You are kicking serious butt!!! Your fastest mile ever!!! I can't even run THREE miles in that time. IM SO PROUD OF YOU (and ok, a little bit jealous heehee). Keep up the great work! And yay for Jimmy too!! Have fun with Charley this weekend while you're not working. And next week you'll get more of her too :)

That is some serious speed... way to go!

I think Tiger is dreamy.

That is a great time!! Much better than mine. Before your 1/2 marathon you will need to try and get some miles in on the road instead of the treadmill because it is harder on the road.

You are such an amazing runner!! I am in total AWE of you!!

I hope Miss Charley got some luvin from Momma this weekend :) I too would hate it when the kids would cry when I dropped them off - but just like you said, in 2 mins they're happy as clams, while we feel the guilt the rest of the day lol Ahh, the joys of motherhood!
