Sticky Fingers

We went shopping over July 4th weekend to find Pink and Blue something red, white or blue to wear. Of course we stopped in Gap first. We were side tracked and started looking at hats for our upcoming Beach vacation. Leo found the cutest khaki bucket hat for Blue. He was actually looking for one like it for himself. So, the second Pink sees Blue trying on hats, she has to have one.

We go through just about every bucket hat they sell for toddler girls. She finally finds one she likes and we are on our way. I found a large, flimsy straw hat and was happy. Leo was not able to find what he was looking for so we decided to walk in to Old Navy.

Leo walks towards the men's section and I stroll the kids in to the women's. We are stopped in front of all the women's long, cotton dresses and shoes. We are there for about 2-3 minutes before Leo comes and finds us. He had no luck in finding a bucket hat so we went on our way.

We are out of the store and about to walk to the car. I look down and ask, "Where is Pink's hat?" Leo says, "I don't know." We then look on her lap and she is definitely holding a pair of shoes she must have picked up while we were standing in front of the dresses. Our 2-year old has just stolen a pair of shoes from Old Navy. Not only did she steal a pair of shoes, she also left her brand new hat behind. We had to go back!!!!

We decided to walk back in the store, put the shoes back, pick up the hat and be on our way. Praise the good Lord that knew, she knew no better. We made it out fine and told her repeatedly what she did was wrong. I could have died!

Needless to say, we will always make sure those sticky fingers are out of reach of material objects while she is shopping with Mom and Dad or anyone else for that matter.

Toodles!

M.I.A.

I know I have been MIA for a while now. We have had camera issues since Pink decided to destroy our trusty Sony camera. We went and bought a new Canon, it was a lemon. We went back to Best Buy this weekend and did a lot more research. We decided to go all out! We bought a Sony SLR Digital Camera. The thing takes 3 pictures in 1 second when the flash is not on. 3 pictures in one second!!! A little much? Maybe, but we LOVE it.

So, the reason I have not been posting is because I have so many cute stories and have pictures to post with them. I know you all think stories are more fun with coinciding pictures, right?

I took the memory card from the lemon camera to Walgreen's today. They are putting them on a CD for me. I will have them home tomorrow and hopefully the stories will come pouring out. I can start with one that I do not have pictures for, Thank God!

See you in a sec, Toodles!

Update

My great friend, Charlotte, gave birth to Case Brenton and Carter Joseph on June 14th. Mommy and both boys are home and doing wonderfully. I am going to visit this Sunday and can't wait to get my hands on those little cowboys.

Charlotte made it to 35 weeks and 3 days. Everyone is so proud of her for all of the efforts she made to keep those babies safe and inside her tummy as long as possible. If she will allow it, I will post some pictures from my upcoming visit.

Night Terrors

I think it is just about safe to say Pink is experiencing night terrors. Every night she gets in bed, like normal, watches a little bit of her chosen movie and falls asleep. Any where between 11:00pm and 1:30am she wakes up crying/screaming hysterically. We are definitely not and never have been co-sleepers but on Tuesday night we had no other option. There was no getting her to calm down.

We are on to trying different methods. Last night we tried her new night light. We thought that maybe if she woke up from a bad dream and could see, she would not cry. Nope, didn't work! We have taken the child lock off of her door so she can come in and out at her own will. This was something new and very entertaining for her the first 30 minutes then she was over it and got in bed for good. It was nice that she came out of her room on her own in the morning and made her way in to the potty. My little, needy baby girl no longer exists...until she gets hurt :(

Tonight I put her down, put on her movie and she has not made a peep yet. I am praying with everything I have that these nightmares stop. I wonder what she has nightmares about. I mean, how horrible could the thoughts of a 2 year old really be? Is Elmo beating up Strawberry Shortcake and taking all of Pink's hot dogs with him?

Wish us luck, and any advice is definitely welcome!

A Little Surprise

Well, I am here to announce what a reject I am. I did not get up this morning and run. The alarm went off at 5:45 and I did not even hit snooze, I turned the darn thing off. But here's the kicker, I have a backpack packed to go running at lunch....hahahaha. Stay Tuned!

Yesterday I got to work and I had a nice surprise on my chair. It was a pink envelope with my name on the front. I opened the envelope and much to my surprise there were 3 gift certificates inside a very sweet card from my boss. She wrote on the card how much she appreciated me and how she had no idea what she ever did without me. She got me 2 gift certificates to The Gap and one gift certificate to Starbucks. Man, does she know me, or what?

It is so nice to be so appreciated! I have been in the work force for over 6 years now (post-college) and I am finally being appreciated. I feel for those that have been at a job for years and are still not appreciated. The good news is, it is not too late.

They have gone above and beyond in many ways to show me just how much I mean to them and their family. Granted, these are pretty much life-long friends of mine, but still, they saw/see something in me that no one else ever has, professionally. I look forward to getting up and going to work in the morning and I love being there. How many people can say that? Not many that I know of.

This is something that I have prayed LONG and HARD for over the years. It is so great to know that God never stopped listening to the broken record I kept playing for him. D and L are not religious people at all but since I have started working there she has asked me so many questions, reminisced about how much fun she had attending church camp with friends as a child and (the best of all) they took their oldest son out of Montessori school and put him in a Church camp for the summer until he attends full-time in the Fall with his younger brother. This is the school that we are very hopeful that Pink gets in as well.

It is amazing how we fall in and out of people lives on a daily basis. I know the reason I have fallen back in to their lives and I am so thankful that they are so receptive of me and my beliefs. I am very respectful towards them and their beliefs and it seems that I always come out on top. I give all of the thanks and glory to God.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Back to the Basics

How is it that I can't find time to come home and go for my runs, but I definitely find time for my trash t.v. ? All day long I think, "I will go home, change clothes and hit the pavement." When I get home, get the kids unloaded, that is the last thing that happens. I go straight from Mom to employee and employee to Mom in about a ten minute span, to and from work. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely would not change either of these things for anything, but sometimes I choose the trash t.v. instead of running.

A couple weeks back I was getting up in the morning, religiously, to run. The weather was absolutely perfect at 6:00 am in Silver Ranch. There is no way on God's green earth that I could run when I get home in the 99 degree weather, right?!?! Someone throw me a bone! Or, should I suck it up and "take the heat?" Oh, the decisions I am faced with. Wait, there is another option, back to the morning runs. That's it!

So, let's say three mornings a week I will get up 40 minutes early, run, cool down, drink a whole lot of water and THEN get my day started. I think it sounds like a good plan but I will also remember the fact that I LOVE my sleep too. I reserve the right to call in tired from time to time when the running alarm goes off. Hopefully I will just get in such a great rhythm this won't be an issue.

OK, I'm giving it a shot starting tomorrow morning.

Runners, take your mark (or is it marks?).....

6-Months and Going Strong!

We took Monkey (Blue) to his 6-month visit with Dr. W. He has gotten so big right before our eyes and arms. Carrying him around in the infant carrier now is torture. It is like carrying around a 20-gallon jug of milk on your elbow like a hang bag. I usually take the kids by myself but this time Leo wanted to come along (super surprising since it was his Birthday). Don't tell him, but I am pretty sure the screams after their shots melts his heart WAY too much. Can't say I blame him one bit!!!

We left the house and brought Pink to VaVa's. She went in and we told her we would bring Blue back when he was done with the doctor. She definitely had a little more pep in her step toward VaVa when she heard the word, doctor. Poor pink has been terrified of the doc since I can remember.

We were a little early so Leo ran in to the nearest Starbucks and got us a much needed cup of coffee. We walked in to the doctor's office and I checked Blue in. It never fails, when checking in the lady behind the counter says, "You have a balance of $XXX, would you like to go ahead and take care of that now?" Ugh, such a pain! "Yeah, sure, why not? Wait, what am I even paying for?" Who cares what I'm paying for, I am sure they have come up with some crazy charge for the way I closed the door last time we left the building.

The nurse called Monkey back almost immediately. We walked back and I start to get the knot in my stomach. I almost get more anxious and nervous before my kids see the doctor than I do. We kind of had a little bet going with how much he was going to weigh without actually saying so. I thought for sure he would be at least 20 lbs.

The nurse walks in and says to take off his clothes. She lays him down on the table and makes the little pen marks above his head and beneath his feet. He is 28 inches tall (97th percentile...he got something from his mama :)), and 16 lbs and 12 ounces, WHAT!?!?!, there is no way! Yep, 16 lbs, 12 oz (25th percentile...definitely didn't get that from his mama, haha). We were so far off it was almost comical. Doctor W said he looked perfectly healthy and to continue doing what we're doing.

Monkey has gained 10 lbs, 2 oz and has grown 9.75 inches since birth. We have started solids and he is loving them all, except peas and meats (as you all saw in a recent post). Blue is growing up so fast. He is smiling, laughing, talking and cooing every second he is awake. He is getting better and better at sitting on his own. Any day now we won't have to stand or sit behind him to prevent any major fights between his head and the hard wood floors.

Biggest Loser Has Nothing On Me!

So, I got on the scale this morning and was so surprised when I saw a (drum roll please) 3.5 lb weight loss. I think if there would have been a mirror in front of me, you would have seen the cheesiest smile, ever! 2.2 lbs to go and I will be in another "weight class", but who's counting?

Today is Leo's Birthday and I/we got him the Nintendo Wii. I am thinking that in the next week we will be playing it a lot. Maybe this will help my weight loss, just maybe. Or, are the thyroid meds already working? Surely, they could not be this effective, this fast, right? Who knows?

P.S. River Trip was so much fun. We did not bring the digital on the river (duh) so we had to kick it old school with the waterproof, disposable camera. I took it in to Walgreen's and had them put it on a disk. I should have pictures before the end of the weekend. Great time though!

Sleep tight, Toodles!

The Results Are In!

Weight loss this week, 2.2 lbs. Not Fabulous, but not horrible either. Am I way to hard on myself, or what?

There is a reason...About 3 weeks ago I went to my "annual" appointment and my doctor noticed that my thyroid was enlarged. This happened about 6 months post-partum with Pink and here we are again with it happening 6 months post-partum with Blue. I went to the Endocrinologist this week and she says, "yes, your thyroid is profusely enlarged." Nice! I went in to the lab and had blood work and have to schedule an ultrasound.

The blood work came back today and my levels are pretty off. She is starting me on thyroid medication and I am having my ultrasound this coming week. All will be OK, just trying to get things back to normal with the help of meds. Hopefully this will get my weight loss back on track.

How boring is an ultrasound of your neck? I can't help but think I am going to see a baby on that screen but all I am going to see is a big goiter on my neck. Fun times!

Leo and I are off to the River tomorrow for a fun day of floating the River and camping with our friends, Anne and Josh. Pictures and many fun stories to follow. Thank you, Mimi! We are so blessed to have you watch the kidos. I pray that God is good to you tomorrow, or should I pray that Pink is good to you?

Have a great weekend, Toodles!

Blue is Still Blue!

I almost feel like I have to document this because they are going to change any day. I love my brown-eyed girl more than anything, but am still in disbelief that I have a blue-eyed boy! Could it be, could they stay blue? You be the judge....

Toodles!

It Was a Happy Monday!

I get to the office about 10 till 8 and I UN-lock the doors expecting it to be a regular day. At 8:00 am on the dot D (the owner) walks in. I look at my watch and look at him with a "what are you doing here" kind of look. He is already going 90 miles an hour on his cell phone. I start thinking, "was there a storm last night that I have not heard about?" He ends his phone call and yells, "We got hail in Denver, Ladies!"

As many of you know our business thrives on Natural Disasters. The guys and gals have been hoping for hail in Denver for about 4 years since the last one. Apparently when it hails in Denver, business is Good! Not to mention, everyone loves living there during the horribly hot months here in Texas.

We are still slammed in the office from the hail storm that hit Austin in March. We all kind of sat there and watched the excitement and craziness unfold. The phones were ringing off the hook, the salesmen were rushing in about the hit the road to make that 18-hour drive and we were all still trying to get in the groove of a Monday morning.

I started running my reports. I updated the boards in and around the office. I went to take a seat at my desk and D and L (the owners) called me in their office. I kind of got this sick feeling in my stomach because I remembered the last time I called someone in their office (referring to the older post about playing boss lady that fires people). I went and sat in front of L and we just started talking about her upcoming delivery of their 3rd child while D finished his phone call. He finishes his phone call and then just says, "L and I had a long conversation, about 10 minutes, about you last night and we are giving you a raise." I was so taken aback that I just kind of stared at them like a deer in headlights. Then they told me how much and I really could not speak. Finally, in my professional career has someone noticed the hard work I put forth and I am being rewarded. Holy Raise, and on a Monday! What a great start to a wonderful week!

Please don't think I am being selfish when I speak so much about how happy I am for the Hail in Denver. I am not happy for the damage and inconvenience the homeowners and business owners have endured in the Denver/Arvada area. I have definitely been saying my prayers for them as well.

Good Night and Toodles!

Family Pictures

Saturday we went and saw our fabulous photographer, Anne. She has always done such great work with the kids. She has no problems getting them to smile and she is about as quick as any parent needs a photographer to be with two babies/toddlers. Here are some of the pictures, for your viewing pleasure.

This photo session was intended to be Blue's 6 month pictures and a family picture session. Mission Accomplished. I think she got some great ones of the family and definitely some great ones of my not so little man!

Toodles!

And We're Back!

So, we got the new camera in today. Yay, I am so excited to finally have a camera again. I feel like I have missed out on so much of the kids lives in the last couple weeks.

We had been using our first digital camera. We received this camera as a wedding gift. In the digital camera world, nearly 5 years is OLD!

Friday night I went and spent some time with Charlotte. We hung out, ordered pizza and watched some TV. I finally got to see my little Case and Carter's nursery, adorable, of course. I could not help but hurt for her. She looks so great for having two babies in there but I also remember how hard it was carrying around all that extra weight those last few weeks (Praise the GOOD Lord she is on her way to 35 weeks this Thursday). I am so excited that these boys have stayed put in there all this time, when not expected to, but Lord, give this mama some relief SOON! Love you, Char!

When I walked in the door that night Leo was on the couch. I walked in to the kitchen to get some water and he told me to turn on the camera and look at the last picture taken.

Pink once again found my mascara. The good news is he found her before it got too far out of control. but not quick enough to stop her completely. Also, I must add, the more practice she gets, the better she applies it. Not quite sure how I feel about that.

Saturday after our family pictures Leo went to play golf with Fernando. I was lying on the couch with Blue and Pink was in the kitchen (supposed to be eating her fruit). I heard the freezer door open and I asked her what she was doing. She did not answer. I asked her again what she was doing. She finally answered, "Nothing, Mommy." I continued to go about my business with Blue. After another 5 minutes pass and I start to think that things are awfully quiet in the kitchen. I call her name and hear something hit the counter and she comes running in to the living room. She comes and stands right in front of me.

(Sorry for the nudity, we had taken off her shirt before we gave the red capri sun a try.)I ask her what she was doing and she just starts speaking a whole lot of gibberish. I ask her again what she was doing in the kitchen. She looks me right in the eye and says, "Nothing, Mommy." I asked her if she had eaten a Popsicle and she definitely told me no! Huh, What!?!?! Is my 2 year old lying to me already? I got up from the couch and I walked in the kitchen and this is what I found.

I found a half eaten cherry push up pop melting out of the cardboard dispenser on the counter (I also have a picture of this).

We had another first this weekend. Pink and Blue were lying on the couch together cracking each other up. I thought it was the cutest thing ever so I walk in the kitchen to grab the camera to take a video. Pink did not know I was coming in with the camera set on video and this is what I caught. Don't forget to pause the music on the bottom before viewing.

Has the torturing begun? My poor, little monkey does not stand a chance!

What is the moral of this blog? Although they may be terrible twos, they are also definitely hilarious twos. Toodles!

Breakfast For Dinner

Today when I got home from work Pink and I went on our 15 minute run (her in the stroller, of course). Good thing I decided to run in the 90 degree weather, fabulous idea, Les! When we rolled in the garage I got her out of the jogging stroller and we headed straight for the backyard. I turned on the sprinkler and just stood in the middle of it, I was a tad hot!

Pink just sort of stood there on the patio looking at me like, "Um, what are you doing and how can I get in on that?" I told her to come on in. She started walking toward it and I quickly told her to go back to the patio. She was wearing jorts and all I could see were raw legs from the jeans rubbing on her thighs (or lack there of). I threw her jorts inside and we started running around like chickens with our heads cut off. I was definitely in a playful mood tonight, lucky for Pink. On another note, it is amazing at how much more energy you have the more active you are, kind of like a breakfast for dinner weird, a good weird.

When I was ready to go in and eat dinner I waited for her to run the opposite direction and then I ran to the faucet and turned it off. She kind of watched it dwindle down and then looked at me like, "Did I break it?" Then she looked at me and said, "Sorry, Mommy! I breaked it." I explained to her that she did not break it (for once, ha) but that it had to stop so it could rest for all the watering it was going to be doing this weekend. She actually bought it and we came inside for dinner and a bath.

Dinner tonight was "breakfast for dinner." My wonderful husband, Leo, asked me if I wanted him to make me an omelet. It did not take me long to think about the answer to that question, YES! Of course I had special modifications that had to be made but he did not mind. Egg whites only with low fat shredded cheese and tomatoes (AKA a can of rotel). It was so good. Why don't I eat breakfast for dinner more often? Maybe I will. There is nothing better than breakfast for dinner, in my opinion. Would a huge stack of pancakes been better? Not sure and I guess I'll never know. Maybe I should have a designated cheat day...pancakes, YUMMY!

Tomorrow is Friday! Wait, it was just Monday morning like 10 seconds ago. Either way, I'll take it! Have a great night, Toodles!

Not telling....

I have decided not to weigh in this week. I am keeping steady on my change of lifestyle and running so I want to be extra surprised next week. I also don't want to concentrate on the scale so much anymore. If this is, in fact, a change of lifestyle then I need to go about it without counting on seeing those numbers go down weekly, right? I should go by the way my clothes are fitting.

OR, did I really weigh in this morning and gain weight? I will let you be the judge.... Either way, you will see the number next week.

Toodles!

Happy Hump Day!

Today is Wednesday and the week is half over. My weeks have been flying by so quickly lately, I feel like I am weeks behind on everything. I know I have scheduled at least ten things for this weekend and I can't even begin to tell you one of them. Where do I go from here and could someone please press the "pause" button?

Last week I had to do something I have never been powerful enough to do, FIRE someone. I would have given back all the keys, all the power, and all the accomplishments that got me here to have not had to do that. It was inevitable that this persons time was long up with our company but ME, I had to fire her! I had to look her in the eyes and tell her that her services were no longer needed and tell her why. I tell you what, there has never been a moment where I wished I was home frolicking in the leaves with my kids rather than be sitting in that chair.

I had to go through the whole week knowing this was going to happen on Friday at 3:30 pm. I could not sleep the night before, I was up all night with an upset stomach. All I could think about was, how is she going to pay rent, will she bounce back from this, who will hire this girl because she truly has the largest chip on her shoulder than anyone that I have ever met, and I know a lot of people. The good (if you will) thing in my eyes is that she does not have a family and she can always file unemployment until she finds another job, right? Well, you would think but why can't I stop thinking about this poor girl I had to fire? Is it always going to be like this or is this just a "first time" feeling? Hopefully, this is the only time I ever have to do something like this. Am I that naive to really think that, NO!

So, other than that I was also PMSing and I was extra emotional. I would feel myself getting very angry and wanting to scream at her from the top of my lungs when she was only trying to defend herself. Thank God his little voice was coming through loud and clear to stay calm and maintain a professional composure. So, I did it and I think I did a good job, if that is possible. I would definitely hate to hear her side of the story though. Ouch!

So, it is a new week and things in the office are crazy! I am doing things I never thought I would do, but loving it. I am learning all the ins and outs of dealing with Insurance Adjusters, and loving it! I am still billing my brains out too at the same time. Man, I never knew I could be this productive and have fun doing it. I think I have finally, after 7 years post-college, decided I am where I want to be and love what I am doing. Who would have thought? I hate that something so horrible for someone else could be such a defining moment for me. Something that was supposed to only be part-time turned in to my new career. God is Good!

Is This It, Are We Done?

We have been going through the potty training process with Pink for the last month. We are definitely successful with the pee pee part. She even goes in there on her own, pulls her shorts and panties down, sits down, does her business, and even pulls her shorts and panties back up. Big step, ha!

When she goes to bed we still put an overnight diaper on her because that is a little too long to go between potty breaks. She sleeps a good 11 hours at night and I don't even think I could pull that one off. So, with the nighttime diaper, this is when she would usually decide to go poo poo. Well, there would come a time when she would need to go poo poo during the day so she would just go in her panties. How is the clean up on that, you ask? Oh, Fabulous! It is especially fabulous when she would try and take the panties off and it would smear on her leg, get on the carpet or all over the tile in the bathroom then try and climb back up in her bed to watch a movie. Ugh! Clean up turns in to a 30 minute ordeal, easily!

We start brainstorming from the beginning, what can we bribe this child with? We tried two pieces of candy (contrary to the one piece she got for pee pee), a new toy of her choice, ice cream, Popsicle, a new DVD, a new house, a new car, you name it! She would do it about once a week or so and we would get soooooo excited. Obviously she did not get what all the excitement was about because she would continue to soil her panties and they would end up in the trash. Those panties are not cheap either.

Last Monday we decided to give the new neighborhood pool a try. It was a blast. The splash pad was a major hit with Pink. She also loved the baby pool. She was not diggin' the big pool for more than 5 minutes. Blue just sat back and relaxed in his little boat while Leo pushed him around. Always chill mode with Blue! So, I am sitting in the baby pool with Pink and she says, "Mommy, I need to go potty."

Pink and I walk in to the bathroom and I put her up on the potty. She is sitting there with this determined look on her face and then I hear the "bloop." I started going NUTS! I was screaming and clapping and giving her a high five. She asks, or should I say tells me that we are going to Target (yes, I know it is VERY sad that my 2 year old knows the name of a store) to get a new toy and ice cream. So, indeed, that is what we did later that day.

Another week goes by, another 2 pair of panties ruined until this weekend, Saturday to be exact. Leo's rents were in town and we had my Mom over for dinner as well. We were all sitting around the table after enjoying a fabulous steak dinner. Of course my Mom asks, "What's for dessert?" I look at Pink and I say, "Well, I was kind of banking on Pink going poo poo in the potty because I would LOVE some ice cream tonight." So, after I said this, everyone chimed in. We were all looking at her telling her it would be so nice if she went. Then I asked her if she needed to go poo poo and she answered, "Yes!"

We walk in the bathroom and she sits there. She goes pee pee and continues to sit there. I am thinking to myself, " Is she going? Do I smell poo poo?" I ask her, "what kind of ice cream are you going to get? " She looks up at me and says while grunting, "Pink ice cream with sprinkles." It was the funniest thing I had ever seen/witnessed. She did it, she went poo poo and we all got our ice cream.

She has now done it the last 3 days in a row. We are so hopeful that this is it, we are done. Last night she even grabbed a book and ran in there and took care of business. Like Daddy, Like Daughter :)

Pictures Coming Soon!

As you all know, Pink broke our camera last week. I am proud to announce we just ordered a new Digital Camera from Best Buy. We are so excited to have a new camera. I feel like just one week going by, I have missed so many important pictures in the kids lives. We should have it between June 4th and the 9th. Get ready for picture overload shortly there after.

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and I will be checking in sometime tomorrow. Lots to catch up on. Toodles!

Yes, I'm Back!

So, this weeks weigh in was so much better than the last two! I lost 2.6 lbs!!! My goal was 3 but of course I want to do it the healthy way. So, I am officially patting myself on the back right now.

I am on day 5 of the "5 Weeks to the 5K" and I have already missed a running day. I just plan on carrying on like I never missed it at all. I will run 2 miles tomorrow morning. Ugh, I am not looking forward to that, but I will tell you, since losing these 17 lbs, it is so much easier to run, so much easier. I enjoy it again!

The In-Laws are in town this weekend so I know it will be easy to deter from my "lifestyle change" and running program, but this is where I need to test my self control. I will let you know how that goes.

Nothing much else to really write about at the current time.

Oh, I do want to send a special Congratulations to Minnie on Baby Reese that was born on 5/22/2009 and a special Congratulations to Cindy on Baby Katelyn that was born on 5/27/2009. Looks like the girl boom continues....

5 Weeks to a 5K

Tonight was the beginning of a new adventure. I am planning on participating in a mini-triathlon in August. I will have to run, bike, and swim. While reading "Runners" magazine I found this amazing article that must have been placed there just for me.

Tonight was day 1. You are given the option of a rest or a 20 minute walk. I chose to walk. I went out 30 minutes before the "Jon and Kate Plus 8" season premiere. I got in 10 minutes before the show. I walked 1.25 miles in that time. I hope to gain a major endurance and be walking more than 2 miles in this time allotment. Tomorrow night is a 10 minute run.

Stay Tuned, Toodles!
