"Little Girl"

Well, my Little Girl moved out. :( (I call Ambrea my Little Girl) I can't believe it. Ambrea decided to move out with a friend. When your kids are little you always talk about when they will move out, get married, all that stuff. Then they get older and it becomes a reality and its not such an easy thing. Ambrea asked me why it is so hard for me to have her move out. I mean, she's not far away. It's just that it is another step for her towards growing up. It's hard to see the kids grow up. I know she will learn a lot and it should be a good thing, but this mom is kinda struggling with it. I'm proud of her though. She is a really good girl and helps me a lot. Especially given our situation with Ray's job. In fact, all three of the kids have been great about it. They have really stepped it up and help out a lot. Dang I love them!!

Last Saturday we ran another 1/2 marathon. This is the fourth one for me. (I know, I've been horrible at keeping the blog up-to-date.) It was here in town. I must say though, Lacey now kicks my butt. I can no longer keep up with her. Let me remind you, she is 18 years younger than me. (I'm just trying to justify why I can't keep up with her. :) ) It had been raining all week long. We were lucky it didn't rain on us that day. It was cloudy and very humid, but the rain held off. Lacey did awesome. She ran it in 1 hour 44 minutes. My goal was to do it in 1 hour 55 minutes and I beat it. 1 hour 53 minutes. Woo hoo. My first run was 2 hours 1 minute. Second run was 1 hour 59 minutes, and my third was 1 hour 58 minutes. So hey, I keep improving. Also, I ran with an injury. I have tendanitis. A chiropractor taped my ankle for me and I couldn't believe how it helped. Well, that and 3 advil. But seriously, what a difference it made. Anyway, it was fun and we are looking forward to running some more. Thanks Lacey, for sticking with my slow butt.

Everyone Off the Sidewalk!!
