Well hello there....

It's me again.....after a week off.

I needed to clear my head and get some business completed. I know a week off killed my stamina, but I needed it.

I start back fresh tomorrow...running, dieting, living, loving, working, blogging and schooling. 

Here is the latest countdown....

60 DAYS TIL BEACH

90 DAYS TIL SUGAR STARTS SCHOOL

180 DAYS TIL HALF MARATHON

I need a good vacation to help my nerves with the middle issue. ;)

Sweet dreams:)

Race #5

Let me start this entry out to say it is a sad day in the Frasier Family. Today, we will have the funeral of Derek's grandmother.  I did not know her very long, but the time I had with her was filled with laughter and love. We will miss MawMaw. She was very healthy and this was totally unexpected. Don't miss an opportunity to tell your family and friends you love them.

I wrestled the idea of not running today. I was afraid of being disrespectful to the memory of Margaret. After the blessings of my family, I decided to continue with my plans.

This is race #5. For 5 consecutive months we have participated in a race. Go us!!!! This race was in my stomping grounds. The big town of Holly Pond. The course went directly in front of my house, which  was kinda neat I thought. The plan was to have the family sit in the front yard and support us....but due to the death in the family that didn't take place.

Stacie joined Heather and yours truly for this run. We are so excited she "may" finish out the year with us. :D

Ok race details....Heather and I drove this course a couple of times the week prior.  We took mental snap shots of all mile and half mile markers. Speaking for myself, it was so much easier mentally to know....ok and the Glasscock's house it is 1.5 and the bottom of the hill is 2.5. I was able to talk myself into running almost all of it except the giant hill. There were 3 nice sized hills in this race....I hated everyone of them. Heather started the race like every race....dodging people running off and leaving us. Stacie pulled away early as well about half a mile into it. This girl is all about a slow pace :D. Mile one was after two semi steep hills. (Why don't they water us at every mile?) My house was 1.6 in the course. I heard a little voice yelling "go momma" which melted my heart. Another neat fact, I knew someone at the watering station... Stacie Olinger. It is always good to see a friendly face when you think you may be having a heat stroke. Next on the agenda, this was the most humid race we have done. I have never sweated that much in my life. I took a picture at mile two....I looked like a cherry. We finished, downed bottles of water quickly, snapped a few pictures and waited on awards.

I really want to place in at least one race. It will make me so happy. I guess I need to step up my training. Lol. Stacie and I did not medal in this one, but Heather won 1st in her age division! This time she wasn't the only one in her division ;);). Congrats to little Heather, I am so proud of my friends!! 

Our times.....I don't know theirs but will post asap.

Love y'all,

Jennifer

Race #5 pictures

You can see John and I have an eye problem in the sunlight :)

The picture of the road is the steepest hill in the state.

Had a good time with my loves. One day I will do better about taking more pictures. I just get caught up in the excitement and forget. :)

Hi!!!

How is everyone at 0300???  I'm wide awake and oncall.

Ok here's the scoop on the running stuff in my life.....

Saturday, we are doing race #5. The course goes right in front on my house. ;D

Wednesday (May 9th) there is a charity 5k in Cullman for Andrew Winfrey. Heather will not be attending, she will be on a cruise for her anniversary.  So this race will not be #6. ( It's a good way for Lashay to catch up....just sayin.)

WE NEED A RACE FOR JUNE!!! Be on the look out!

We have some fun and some very difficult races ahead. It is not too late to join us....

Love,

Jennifer
