I've taken some time out, maybe a week or something. Maybe you forgot (as I almost did myself), but the marathon that I've paid money for and have a friend coming in to down to do it with me is next weekend. And while I have tried to find a way to back out of it, I haven't had any other excuse other than I have been really sick and have a bronchial cough. This is true. Totally not an excuse. Tell me there is something wrong with me because I am determined. Despite cough and not feeling 100%, I decided to get my butt on the treadmill this weekend. And I did - not once, but twice - and an hour each time. Yesterday I beat my distance by a half mile! GO ME. Additionally, on day two, I wasn't as huffy and puffy at the end. 13 miles this Sunday - if that doesn't scare the bejessus out of me, I'm not sure what will. I think I'm more concerned about finishing the race under the time limit at this point. Will I be in the bottom 10? Quite possible.
In other news, which I will post sometime this week, we got a new car this weekend, as the Crapolla (uh, Corolla) gave out on us last Friday. And we got a spanking new car, which we said we would never ever do after we did it once before. What can I say, this car was well worth driving it off the lot and losing money. Well, maybe not too much because this one holds its value pretty well. Details and pics to come later this week...if I'm not too busy, you know, running on the treadmill.
The latest in kid news is that we've had a little bit of regressing on the potty front for both girls, and it has been a bit frustrating. I think we might own 50 pairs of girl undies at this point. O is claiming that she still wants to be a baby, and Bea, well, she's just too busy to care about going. More on that later as well...and maybe I won't have to report anything other than the problem just mysteriously fixed itself. Wouldn't that be nice?
Also, my parents are visiting this week.
And what else? Well, one of my favorite bloggers, Daddy Dan, has posted an interview on yours truly. Check it out and comment over there if you feel inclined.

Geesh, new car, potty training woes, and marathon training! That's a lot to have happen at once. Good luck with the run. I can't wait to hear all about it.
Good for you, for continuing to train even though it would be easiest to back out.
I feel for you and the potty training. Lucas pooped his pants twice yesterday. Pee's are mastered, poops not so much.

Good look with the marathon. I'm thinking of "training" to do a half one, okay more likely a 10k, in the next year or so. We'll see how that goes........
I hope potty training straightens itself out for you. I haven't even started with the kid yet. Not looking forward to it.
Good luck at Sunday's marathon!!
