A Time to Run

Well, I actually did it, I said I would never run for fun or in any kind of organized running and last Saturday I proved myself wrong.

My Mom and Dad Jeff are die hard 1/2 and sometimes whole marathoners. We have gone to lots of their runs to support them and see them cross the finish line but this year they decided they would bewitch Demi and I into running in the 5K since they were running in the 1/2. I am not sure what they used to drug us but somehow they got us to agree.

I am actually really glad I did it and despite what Demi says, I think she is too! It was only 3.1 miles, and compared to the 13.1 or 26.2 miles others were running it may seem very trivial, but I was still proud of my sister and myself for agreeing to do it and following through.

Mom and Dad did really well, Mom's time was 2.23, Dad's was a personal best at 1.45 and at 32.7 Demi and I were inspired to actually train next time and push ourselves a little harder...yes, I did say next time, Demi!! ;)

Dad, wake up, nap time will come soon enough...

Devin stayed back to cheer on his buddy Corey who was running in the whole marathon. Here he is right around the corner from the finish line...
And crossing the finish, good job Corey!!!

My Little Sicky...

Well, I guess it is our turn to have the sick kid, *disclaimer*: for those with weak stomachs, you may not want to read on. Friday morning Calyn woke up at 6:00 am and threw up all over herself, then continued to throw up all the rest of the day about every 20 to 30 minutes!! Then Saturday the throwing up stopped but she fevered all day at an average temperature of 101 degrees and was either sleeping or in a catatonic state, Sunday she was no longer fevering but because she had not eaten for the previous 2 days she was very weak and still had some queasiness and today she woke up with a little more energy but can't stay upright for long without feeling yucky. Luckily, she was able to get down some Raisin Bran so hopefully she is on the downhill side! Because of all the puking and "other" we have been very worried of dehydration so we have been really pushing the liquids. Poor girl! I hate having sick kids! She has lost some weight from her loss of appetite, and for those of you who see her pretty regularly you can understand when we say she doesn't have much to lose! Anyway, she seems to be perking up a little more today so we are hoping the worst is over.






On a better note, we had a very eventful weekend! Friday I had some friends from highschool come into town so we had lunch at my house and it was awesome to have everyone together!!

Then my family had a birthday party for me Friday night and it was the first time since my 60 day challenge (which ended Thursday!! WOOT WOOT) I was able to have treats, so you can only imagine how yummy they all tasted! Here are some pics of the weekend...
