Marine Corps 10K

Wow, that was fun! It was really awesome to see how many people were there... 26k runners for the marathon and five thousand for the 10k! Then there are like 100,000 spectators!!! You wanna talk about being wiped out! I am so glad I was able to hook up with LAW and walk it with her! We did it in about 2 hours. I am also so happy that GQ was willing to drive me to DC and watch the kids while I did this! It was just so awesome to have them there as support, even though I could only walk. We had to get up at 3:30 AM and leave at 4:30. All this after he had just got home the night before from a TDY and had been getting up really early all week long. It was just so great! Oh and my son thinks I am a winner since I got a finishers medal! How cool am I??

That little lady that LAW referred to was pretty dang cool....she also told us that she was sick - sounded like she had a head cold or something and she still ran it! GQ also told me she started 10 minutes after the race started because she got there late!!!! And she crossed th finish line in from of me and LAW!

Sadly my day did not end there, as both kids had halloween or birthday parties to attend and I finally got to sit down at about 7 pm! Fat Boy (which is what I will call the baby from here on out) decided to kick the crap out of me later that day. It didn't actually hurt, but up to this point, it has been little bumps and such. I guess I got him all pumped up by walking that morning.

So today in Crossfit we did "Elizabeth" That is 21-15-9 of Power Cleans and ring dips.
Rx weight for women is 95 - I did 65, and I still use a rubber band to assist with ring dips! Ad since I did this workout several hours ago, now I can't remember my time - dang mommy brain! I think it was 13 minutes or so!

Field trip day tomorrow with DG's class, and it is going to be cold drizzly and windy!!!! Now I have to talk a little girl, who still insists on wearing her tank top dresses over jeans to dress warmly. This should be fun!! Maybe something interesting will happen!!

Missing in Action................or rather Just being Lame!

Well I can see that it has been quite awhile since I last posted.... time sure does seem to go by really fast here lately!!! GQ has returned from his deployment, but I just took him to the airport for a TDY trip. He was only home for like 10 days. Thankfully this is only a 1 week trip!

On the crossfit front! I am still working out consistently and depending on the workout, have not dropped any weight. I had to lower weights for deadlift so far.... We did Crossfit Total a couple of weeks ago and I actually did more weight than the last time! I figured being pregnant would keep me from doing that, but I scored a 455 - 50 points higher than the first time I did it. THat is only like 17 points away from the advanced level! I definitely had personal records on all 3 exercises.. GQ did the Mid-Atlantic Hopper Challenge, this pic is also of his awesome tiger pelt tattoo!

This is him doing double unders. He did very well in the competition, but double unders are his worst exercise and caused him to lose alot of time, so he didn't place but he looked really good doing it all!!! This also took place 2 days after he came home!

On the baby front, we had our sonogram and it is a BOY! I actually have another sonogram coming up because he wouldn't turn and they couldn't measure his spine properly.. They also said that it was a couple of weeks too early for it to be finished forming, so I have to go back.... Darn, I get to see him again, hehehe! It was really exciting! GQ made it back in time to go too so he was there for the ultrasound....

Marine Corps 10K!!!! LAW, I am still doing this and I will email you!!! I have been very bad about emailing or calling people back here lately, as you all ready know!! Sorry! I also am really bad at doing fundraising, but I will be making an effort this week to bring something to the table for this!

The kids are doing awesome in school and Speed has been great (has scored several touchdowns) in flag football!
