There are only seven days left until my big event. I haven’t bothered to write about my training because most people find running boring, so I doubt any one would find reading about running much more interesting. But since this race has been my main focus since January, I thought I’d write a little series about it in the upcoming week, followed by pictures from race day as soon as I am able to post them. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope that it makes you as pumped as I am!
I have a vivid memory of my mother taking me to KB Toys. I wanted a something-or-other and she told me I couldn’t have it. I then proceeded to fake cry all about it up and down the aisles while my mom ignored me. I used to think she was cruel for ignoring me. “How insensitive,” I’d think.
Now that I’m the mother of a two-and-a-half year old, I think that she’d stumbled onto a very effective parenting technique.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY MOM. Thanks for teaching me the art of selective hearing. I love you.
It’s about 2 weeks old now. Elise has since learned to crawl forwards (and not constantly backwards!) so I’ll have to take another diveo soon. It’s so hard to keep up with the photos and diveos when I’ve got two kiddos to catch. Yikes!
