Pool's cool...
(cute girls, too!)
Running rocks...
I am just weeks away from the Big Race and I really do love training. I'll admit to pining for major body changes immediately--shrinking so fast my clothes would just fall off or maybe waking up with naturally curly hair or something equally awesome. But, of course, I'm still just me. Only a lot more sore. This morning I actually ran 8 miles. And the word of the day is ibuprofen.
Adolescence Happens...
Jake and Em are both showing signs. Emotional more than physical. Lots of mood swings and hating clothes I pick out for them. Each of them got a puberty book for Christmas and they have devoured them.

Just the other night, I went in to kiss Em goodnight. Brad was reading to her and she had chosen her new "Girls' Book" for a bedtime story.
Knowing that Brad would rather walk through fire than the CVS feminine aisle, I gave him a raised eyebrow. "What?" he grinned. "We're just learning how to improve our body image."

Awww...I love those daddy/daughter moments. And I love your pool, too. :)
You could always run circles around everyone. I'm totally blown away by your body image!
everything about this post made me happy. i'm actually smiling. so thanks.
i would love to come take a dip in that pool someday. but more than that, i'd just love to sit on the side and drink lemonade with you and chat. i love your posts.
do you have a plan that you've been following as you train? i too have taken up running but i'm still stuck at about 1.5 miles. i'd love any pointers you have to give from one (very successful) newbie to (a not so much) newbie!
I think I've been chatting with Andrea waaaay too much. I was going to say the EXACT same thing she said. I did love everything too though.
I completely belly laughed at the line about Brad preferring to walk through fire than the feminine aisle. I love how he was reading that book to Emily. You've got a good man. Here's to improved body image.
I seriously want to come swim. Like today. Seeing your kids out there in short sleeve shirts makes me green with envy.
Check our you and running prowess. I'm so impressed that you're doing that race. Running in the Arizona desert will make that pool all the more enjoyable.
That is really cute.
