Wow, I am really milking up this marathon recovery for all it's worth aren't I? I am ashamed to admit that I have only ran twice since the marathon one of which, was this morning. You would think (or I guess hope) that I could follow this comment up with something like "But it is okay because I have really been watching what I eat to keep my calories down and make up for not exercising" but NOPE, can't say that either!! What is wrong with me? I bet Sasha is crawling in his skin if reading this post right now :) (forgive me Sasha).

I attempted to get up Monday and just couldn't bring myself to it, then attempted again last night to get out but got busy working on my bedroom renovation and didn't get out. Now, it is my kid's Fall Break from school tomorrow and Friday and so I am doubting that I will want to get out of bed early for the next 2 days, so it looks like I better just take the rest of this week off and start fresh next week, sound like a plan? Hang in there with me fellow bloggers, I will get "back in the saddle" here soon!!

Okay, onto the good stuff. I met up with Heidi W this morning for the 5 mile square. I have to admit that when I ran on Saturday it was a little painful and...........it was painful again this morning but Not like it was on Saturday! Just a few twitches here and there while running my hips are still not recovered, but enough belly-aching, It was just SO NICE to get out and as always to visit with Heidi, she is such a sweetie! I followed it up with some lunges and sit-ups when I got home. Great Morning!!

Your forgiven. I think everyone needs a dang break from putting up with a rough marathon like that! Good job to both of you guys.

Awe, thanks Walter. You made me feel much better!! Hope you are all recovered from the marathon, I still can't get over your time, speedster!

I watched the video that Steve Hooper made on the blog and it still baffles me that I look so slow! The video does us no justice! He should be making wind noises instead of music in the background! lol I was upset at not breaking into the 2:30's. Oh well you cant have everything you want right? Where would you put it?

From kellies on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 01:40:25

Are you kidding? You just put "yourself" and "slow" into the same sentence? Not possible. No, I know what you are talking about. I always feel like I am running fast and I see video footage and want to bust out laughing at myself. Guess you are right about not getting everything we want, Dang it!!!

From walter on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 07:38:52

Wow you got me on the negativism about telling myself im slow huh? So what did you and Tyler think about the race? I wasn't dissapointed because I came down 21 spots overall from last year. If I do that next year I should win it huh? lol See how I think. Its easy

I heard that saying of wanting everything from Steven Wright the comedian. He's one of my favorite. Very Funny.

So have you signed up for boston yet? We will have a great blog showing this year! It will be a Par-Tay!

You absolutely can't judge your speed by looking at footage of yourself running! I noticed that the guy who was winning the St. George Marathon this year seriously just looked like he was jogging. SERIOUSLY! If I was just passing by, and did not know that he was WINNING the marathon, I would have guessed his pace was a bout 8:30.

You guys are both awesome, and Kellie, don't feel bad for taking off a couple of weeks. I've seen really really fast collegiate runners take 2 weeks off after a big race as part of their training cycles. (Just don't get too comfy on the couch!) Great job getting out today.

From walter on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 09:37:39

Lybi, I told my wife that too! about the fastest runner looking like he was doing a saturday long run. Not racing! He made us all looked schooled though! Im just glad I didnt puke this year especially in front of a cam corder. lol

Great run Kellie! Way to get back on the wagon :)

From Kim on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 15:04:19

Hey Kellie,

I was already using the "fall break" and "bedroom renovation" excuses. In fact, I'm waiting for Hank's Furniture to bring the bedroom furniture as I type! When that's done I'm just going to have to stick to my injured foot and IT band excuses for a while more. Actually I would LOVE to get out and try a run but I really feel it's best to let these heal a bit more before venturing out very gently!

Anyway, It's good to check up on you. Keep up the good work and the great attitude! You are one of those people that is just fun to be around...even in cyberspace! :o)

From Kelli on Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 22:19:40

Hey, you ran!! That is great and it does not matter when or how much or how often! We just ran in a marathon, we deserve a break!

Hope the bedroom is coming along, I can not wait to see pictures. You are quite talented!

From kellies on Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 14:18:44

Hey Kel,

Thanks for the nice message, you are always so positive. So, confession, aside from the time consumption of my little home renovation, I have to admit that I did not do the painting myself, so I am really not that talented. Honestly, I intended to paint myself, but after 6 months passed, I realized that it was merely a nice thought and not reality. We also wanted to re-texture my bedroom (Tyler actually requested that one) so when it was brought up, it was time to hire a professional. To my luck, my Step brother owns his own painting company and did the texturing as well. He is very talented and does a great job (little advertisements for him right here). The bedroom is almost done, I actually have everything done except for the finishing touches (curtains, shelves, etc),so I am waiting for it to be 100% done before I make the big "Reveal". Stay tuned, it should be exciting (how dissapointed you are going to be if you hate it). Just a quick chat, hope you are having a great day!!

Can not wait to see it!
