Where does time go...

and how can I get more of it? I need a weekend to do nothing - go no where and get things done at home - home has not been a place of relaxation and solace since it has taken a back seat from training, getting things done, raising Charley and living our crazy life.

Sorry I have been MIA but between training, my Dad getting out of the hospital, wondering if my parents would still be able to come and watch Charley and the dogs while we go to VA Beach to run our 1/2 marathon, attempting to clean the house, keep the fish alive (their tank is terrible!), do laundry, eat healthy and just keep up with everything. So needless to say sitting on the computer is one of those things that goes to the wayside when life takes over.

Hopefully after our 1/2 marathon on Sunday I will have a little more time. I am going to keep running and training, since 2 weeks later we have the Cherry Blossom 10 miler...but maybe life will slow down a little.

Charley gets more and more amazing every day...she has some new talents and I have one of them on video, and am going to get the other 2 as well and hopefully will make a post of Charley's cute talents soon :)

Last Sunday we ran the Shamrock 8K in Washington, DC. It was a great run...CROWDED but fun and flat :) my kind of run. I had a great time for the race too...9m 17s miles. I was pumped. Jimmy did great too - kicked my butt as usual. Here is a pic of us at my girlfriends apartment where we dropped off Charley for the morning before the race, then we metroed downtown.

**Disclaimer...you might see this same shirt this weekend for the 1/2 marathon...unless I can get a better green running shirt at the expo on Saturday :)**

Alright...off to switch and fold another load of laundry...then to bed.
