Finished it. Didn't throw up.<br />
<br />
Official time was 39:44, app time was 38:57.<br />
<br />
Not my best time, but I DID IT!!<br />
<br />
I do, however need to add a fourth goal for my next 5k ... not to potty in my pants at the finish line. The main reason my time was so slow was because I had to "go" and I mean really go. It makes for a great first race memory!<br />
<br />
Jenny, Aaron and I ran together. Our friends Tim and Amber finished the race before us and then came back to run with us to the finish line. It was so COOL! I had Amber on my left, Jenny on my right, Tim and Aaron behind me and friends and family on the sidelines cheering for me. It was surreal. So hard, so uplifting, so satisfying. I can't wait for the next one. <br />

So I haven't. :)<br />
<br />
I will make some bullet point to catch you up on what I've been doing/going through:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>My first 5k is on Saturday. I'm excited, nervous and elated. I can't believe I'm really doing it ... it's something that I never thought I'd be able to accomplish. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I've established three goals for the 5k:</li>
<ul>
<li>1. Start it</li>
<li>2. Finish it</li>
<li>3. Don't throw up </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I hurt my knee two weeks ago so I've had to slow my time down ... I'm disappointed, but that's how it goes when you're a runner. I'm a runner!</li>
</ul>

<i><span class="userContent"> </span></i></div>
<ul>
<li>I've been delving into some deep, DEEEEEP personal development lately. My new "job" with Zija is focused so much on this aspect ... it's an AMAZING company. Some of the books I've read lately:</li>
<ul>
<li>The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy</li>
<li>The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson ... I LOVE this one
</li>
<li>Eat that Frog by Brian Tracy</li>
<li>How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie</li>
<!-------->
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I've also been listening to speakers such as Jim Rohn and John C. Maxwell for at least 70 minutes a week</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The change in my confidence, dedication, <i>attitude </i>and<i> joy</i> has been absolutely phenomenal and mind-blowing</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> My new business, which I started in the middle of February, has already brought in enough extra income for a second car or for a nice family vacation. The business has been life-changing on many levels for us</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>My parents started on my brand of Moringa oleifera a few weeks ago and my Dad said he has no joint pain and he is SO much happier. My mom has had <i>chronic</i> hip pain for a long time now ... been on prednisone, daily ibuprofen and cortisone shots. She started on our SmartMix and today said that she has stopped all pain meds and has ZERO HIP PAIN. I'm so happy I could cry!!!!!!! On Monday she was on all fours playing with her grandchildren. Unbelievable.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Nate has been taking ibuprofen almost daily for a long time for stress/sinus headaches and those have all but disappeared since starting on our SuperMix. He said he can think more clearly and has more energy!!!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I get paid to share this with people. I earn a nice income from the comfort of my home simply by doing what I love most ... helping others. God has His hand on this.</li>
</ul>

New personal best! My knee is killing me now so I didn't run again today, just did some online workouts. I did a little research and it seems that I need to ice the knee after each run and strengthen my quads. I found a great quad workout by Denise Austin (googly eyes, "we're burnin' butter!") that I'm going to start doing.<br />
<br />
Today Mazie was really grouchy and she told me several times that she didn't feel like being nice. That she just wanted to be mean for no reason. I told her I completely understood. ;)<br />
<br />
Ooh, ooh. I ate lunch at Cerulean yesterday with my mentor (she bought. she's a good mentor) and then got my hair cut. It was nice to get out and feel like a normal human for a bit. I got suckered into buying some anti-frizz stuff. I am a total sucker for hair oils. I'm so weak.<br />
<br />
This weekend I'm going out with some girl friends for a bit and then we're meeting up with our husbands. I think we'll walk down to <a href="http://www.ceruleanrestaurant.com/home/" target="_blank">Cerulean</a> and order a fancypants drink and pretend we're really classy and living in the lap of luxury for a bit. Pretending is fun!<br />
<br />

I mailed my check and registration form (no online registration ... rather antiquated) in for the 5k! I'm still working on my time. Right now I'm at about a 15 minute mile on the treadmill. I ran it in 38 minutes outside when my friend Jenny was running with me. She runs a little ahead of me the entire time and it motivates to me run faster. Plus, it's comforting to have her there in case I pass out or die <br />
<br />

He laughed for the first time today. He's sooooo sweet and cuddly I can't even stand it. He just adores me, too. It's a good feeling. Being adored and adoring right back. I love him so!<br />

Speaking of love, I also love these. Who doesn't love an almond that plays a chocolate almond barked piano? <br />

Today Nate and I went to Ft. Wayne to the running store and I got fitted for running shoes. It helps when my ankles aren't caving in on themselves. It helps alot. The shoes I got are ... hhmm, I can't even remember what kind I got. Let me ask Nate .....<br />
Ok, he said Asics. Now he's up and getting them from the bedroom to see which ones exactly. I'd say he's pretty excited about this whole running venture, you know?<br />
He's back. I got GT2000.<br />
Sounds impressive? I suppose so. They keep my ankles from bending in and touching the ground so high five to that!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little pic for those that need a visual of what I mean by my ankles caving in (pronating) </div>

<br />
I bought a 5k sticker, too. You know how people put those stickers on their car windows that read '13.1' or '26.2'? Well, I have a 5k!! I told Nate it's a little embarrassing because it's such a piddly distance but he told me that considering how far I've come that I should stick it on the window with pride. Good GRIEF my husband is the sweetest.<br />
<br />
I got my first bloody toenail yesterday. I took my shoes off and when I saw the blood on my sock my first thought was, "Yeah, girl. Go on an' get it. Run, baby!!" My second thought was, "Oh, I feel sick. I don't want to take my sock off. What if I lost my toenail? *barf barf*" BUT, my toenail is still in tact, just bloody. Wootwoot!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow my friend Jenny and I are running the 5k course that we'll be running in March. Hope I don't die.<br />
<br />
It's crazy to think about how I could barely run for three minutes at a time a month ago and now I'm running for mileS. Mile with an S on the end. So, so loving this.<br />
<br />
I truly to owe it all to Moringa oleifera. No more post partum depression, my brain isn't foggy, I'm losing weight like woah and I can RUN. My lungs are so much stronger.<br />
<br />
Ok, time to watch Skyfall with Nate on the couch. Not running. :)Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05548420400928571142noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446756699302607649.post-60497352098493827572013-02-18T10:37:00.003-05:002013-02-19T22:30:57.079-05:00<div style="text-align: center;">

Life is normalizing around here and I'm feeling better. Whew ... that was ROUGH. Hormones are touchy things. I went from being pregnant, to nursing to not nursing to starting my cycle again. I could've been committed. I feel like I'm coming out of the tunnel now. I see the light. Run to the light. RUNNNNNNN.<br />
<br />
Speaking of running which made me think of exercise which made me think of weight which made me think of Reece's ... Mmmm, Reece's. Every time I have a baby my clothes get really loose and then, a few weeks later they get really tight. I guess I'll blame those hormones again. It's rather disheartening. I haven't changed anything and yet my pants are snug. And not the good kind of snug. The bad kind. The kind that hurts a little. :/<br />
<br />
Freya is sick, but on the mend.<br />
Mazie woke up with a cough.<br />
Bjorn only gets up once a night now (at 4 a.m.) and then sleeps again until 8. <br />
<br />
Bjorn's nighttime looks like this:<br />
6 p.m. - feed<br />
6:30 - bed<br />
10 - feed<br />
4 feed<br />
8 feed and awake for the day<br />
Totally doable and I feel like a normal person for the most part. <br />
<br />
Things have been going well. We're dealing with some family stuff right now and that's never enjoyable. I'm so, so, SO thankful for a husband that does what is honorable and wise for the protection and betterment of our little family. I feel safe with him. We all do.<br />
He has changed so much over the past several years. As he heals and grows and I just admire him more and more. So in love. Get a room!<br />

Recently the girls and I read this library book and found a recipe in the back for "moon cookies". The story is about what different animals think the moon is made of ... flour, butter, sugar, etc. The cookies are a combination of each animal's guess.</div>

The cookies weren't really that tasty. I think it's because I used a gluten-free flour mix. Or maybe the moon just isn't that good. Either way, we had fun and I scored points for being *that* mom, you know ... the one in the kitchen doing all sort of creative kitchen things, which is totally not me.</div>

I was in the bathroom at midnight and rang in the new year by myself. Fail. Last night was rough, rough, rough. I don't even have the energy to go into all the details. The sleep deprivation really got to me and I had a meltdown.<br />
Bottom line: I need to accept help when it's offered to me. I'm more concerned about protecting others that I end up really hurting myself (which in turn hurts others). I'm a mess. Nate and I had a talk this evening about the changes that need to be made and what area(s) of our lives need improvement. (I really couldn't think of anything that I need to improve on ... )<br />
Tomorrow is a new day and I'm committing to being more aware of my needs and limitations. Also, I'm committing to eating at least one chocolate covered cherry a day until they're gone. Someone's gotta do it!<br />

Also, the most wonderful time of the year sure does incite some major meltdowns from the little people. Oy vey.<br />
<br />
Tonight we're listening to Nate's Christmas present (Amos Lee on vinyl) and I'm going to read my Christmas present (The Baby Whisperer). It's a good evening. Life is sweet.<br />
And thanks to my new anti-anxiety concoction of Relora and Kava Kava I'm feelin' fine [round of applause, please]. I just had to start taking something ... the post partum anxiety was ridiculous. Bah! Must vacuum 19 times a day. Must keep moving. No stopping. Go, go, go. NOooooo, dusk. Dusk is coming ... run!!!<br />
Now I'm so smooth. So mellow. I'm melting into the recliner.<br />
