Running Accomplishments:

Maybe someday I'll have something noteworthy to post in this section. I have only completed three 5ks and a 5 miler; all at an average pace somewhere in the 9:00-9:30min/mile range

Painter's Half 2010 - 2:03:54 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Painter's Half Marathon - would like to keep an average pace of 9:00min/mile. 

Painter's Half - Went over my goal and finished in 2:03:54 :( It was my first half though.  I had a great time and learned what I need to work on.  

Salt Lake Half Marathon - would like to finish in under 2 hours. 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Would like to complete a full marathon in the fall of 2010 and finally conquer the Herriman Hill...to be honest, there are several hills in Herriman I'd love to conquer, but that one for sure!

Personal:

I am a stay-at-home mother, married and have two young boys.

What a week it has been! I'm afraid I am going to have to take a big fat 0 for my miles this week. I hate putting 0 down for one day, let alone one whole week!

I've been running a low fever since Wednesday and have a bad head cold.  Aside from that, after putting Cody (my 14 month old) on a steroid b/c of croup and associated breathing problems on Monday, he broke out in hives on Wednesday.  We're not entirely sure if he had an allergic reaction to the steroid (supposedly not common) or if it was caused by something else. Poor thing had red itched hives all over his body.  Then this morning he woke up and I got him dressed only to discover that his hives had turned purple! He literally looked like he had a million little splotchy hickeys all over his body.  So back to the doctor again this afternoon (3rd time this week)!!! He had some blood work done and was able to rule out a few things the doctor thought could be causing it (all of which I can't remember/pronounce). He said sometimes after having a virus for a while, some kids will break out in hives, but that he had never seen anything like this. That's always nice to hear! So he sent us home and told me to just give him Benadryl. He also sad if it didn't clear up in a week or if he started to have trouble breathing, to bring him back in. 

And that's just him. I'm not even sure what's wrong with me. I haven't had time to think about going to the doctor for myself, so if my fever gets any higher/doesn't go away, looks like I'll be taking a trip to the doctor too.  

I feel like we've been sick SO much since we've moved here.  I really hope we have all built up enough antibodies so that we can actually enjoy next winter!  

I hope you are all putting in some extra miles for me this week!!! I hope to be back on Monday!
