Shopping with Rowdy vs 2

The first picture is what happened when I said "smile". He turned his head away and was smiling. He has such a funny sense of humor. He loves to tease. Previous to me taking this picture he said, "this is not where we go to buy things."
Me: really?
Him: NO! I am just joking with you.

I am always treated with this smile though. This smile lights up my world. Even when he is singing songs REALLY LOUD about peepee and poopoo in the grocery store.

marathon

 

So, I signed up for the marathon.  The local marathon.  I expect to be talking a lot and hanging out with people.  I do not expect my time to be stellar, but I am hoping for something decent.

So you may be wondering why I chose to do a marathon?  It is so I can eat like this!  Yes that is home made cream on my pancakes.  It is a whole food so it is almost healthy for you!

But honestly, it has been fun to train for.  I have really learned to love running, and I think I am a better runner.  I can see my totally awesome times dropping!!!  

And honestly, in case you were wondering what kind of calories I was burning,  I am burning a whole lot of calories.

I had a setback a couple of weeks ago with a sore calf.  I rested it and stretched it really well.  It seemed to come out of it fine.  I was able to run my remaining miles with little problem.  ( "Little Problem" being relative to the fact that I ran 20 miles, which is a long way!)

I am pretty excited about the prospect on completing the whole thing.  Doing a marathon is on my list of "things to do", but I think doing the Little Rock marathon will be an annual occurrence.
