It's rare to have a pic taken of the two of us together at a race,

I always pin Bobbie' race bib it's one of our rituals,

the other is just before she goes to the start line

I give her 3 kisses on her right cheek,

 tell her 'good luck'

and to be 'Careful'

Woot Woot!! Baby Girl Placed in her age group.

 

 

       The 10K is popular among the runners and it's a chance for Bobbie to run the old neighborhood, though it does become dangerous with the traffic. There have been a couple near misses with the runners, Whew let the worrying begin!

Daunting Days! But I'm still a winner!

Life is stressful, well mine seems to be at times. I'm trying to fit it all in with little luck thus far, but, I'm making it through another day and will adjust to my time struggles. I know that I need to be willing to make decisions on what is the most important thing for me.

One important thing for me has been being able to attend my "grandsons" basketball games. My 'one and Only' male grand child and he's AWESOME! It makes me well up in tears every time he comes running to get hugs and kisses from me. I Just Love this kid!! He says he doesn't want to do basketball next year, but does want to play soccer and do Cross Country we'll see, you know how kids can be, either way if at all possible the Mommaw will be there.

My work life has become hectic to say the least, some weeks are 50+ hours some are only 37.5 hours. When I do get the OT it's several days in a row and can sometimes last consecutive weeks in a row. It's great to have a job in this economy and my extra hours are my fault, (I ask for them) so whats the answer? Broke or some extra moolah?

I have arranged my breaks in order to try and get my steps in during the day which has work to some degree but there's the whole sit down and take a break thing that's not happening and with my job being sorta physical it gets tiring. Missed several home work-outs this week (as in walking on the treadmill), my fault, wanted to spend the time with H2B while he was off.

My runner kids are in training mode and haven't done many races this year, 1 in January that I still need to post about which will be this week and another coming up next weekend.

In closing I want to share this quote I found in Success Magazine,
          "winners habitually face the work of the day with the purpose of discovering what can be done instead of worrying about what cannot be done"--Paul Meyer


a runners mom!!

Time~~Where Does It Go?

     The working full+ time and we're talking sometimes 60 hour weeks people, trying to walk 10,000 + steps a day (I have a quest to have walked enough steps to equal 2013 miles) and have a relationship is interfering with the Blogging thing, reading or doing my own.  It continues to be a struggle! How do others manage? What gets short changed?  Any and All suggestions are welcome!


Help Please!

#12 catch up post~5-5-12 Haggin 5K

     This is a fun race that the kids like to do in part due to there are stuffed animals all along the course. The runners try and find one and carry it while they complete the 5K. Doesn't sound hard to do you say?!? Well it's normally soaked through from the rain and that adds a lot of extra weight and added aggravation. Those that have a animal get an 'extra' prize which are donated from area merchants. Now for some pics..............

 

See the pavement, always rain!

It's either raining

or has been raining,

or starts to rain during the race,

But it ALWAYS rains

Off they go!

my young'un in pink

the 'cheer' leaders

pics of the trophy's, always nice.

not sure what kind of goose he is but definitely different!

WooHoo Good job to Ernst Weber

After the ladies running cross the finish line they

receive a long stem Rose,

Bobbie always gives me hers

(she Loves her Momma)

Way to Go Kim Hulett!

and there's my Angela.

~part of the weekly run team~

Awards

All the 'Swag' my young'un received today,

(I let her borrow my rose for the photo)

     As in the first photo it ALWAYS rains or has rained during the Haggin 5K. I have photos (somewhere) of the races that Bobbie have run and in them is one picture in particular that shows the runners coming off the start line and a streak of Lightning bolting down behind them. Poor Rick(Serres) had a fleeting moment to try and stop the race~but in the time it took him to think it they were already well on their way. So there we all were, with umbrellas and standing under the trees trying to stay as dry as possible. Now I know your thinking 'dummy' why not just go to the shelter where it was dry. The way I see it if all these runners can run in the rain (or whatever elements going on) then I can stand at the finish and wait on them........because you know what?

I'm a runners mom~that's what I do!!!
