Elijah's Title: Running, Trekkies

I'm going to do the MS150 next April. Sarah (aka, Holmes) did it last April and really enjoyed it. I can't even really imagine riding all day (literally) and then getting on the bike again the next morning and riding again all day. I better start imagining it though because that will be me next April. David said it can be my anniversary and birthday present. Nice. I have to fund raise at least $400, so don't be surprised if I hit you up in a few months.

Saturday long run: 9 miles. I did it. It was fine. Staley ran with me and Gayatri. He brought a pleasant change from the usual girl chatter, and he made sure to point out at least two dead animals on the road (thanks, Staley!). He was also a good cheerleader for us and kept us going a few times. This was a "short" run for him, so it didn't seem to phase him at all. It really didn't phase us either though, except the hills on Enfield. He left us with about 1.5 miles to go, which I'm happy about. I think we held him back most of the way.

We did succeed in starting out slow. I'm happy overall with the run. My legs were aching the last couple of miles, and my feet were really not comfortable. After the run, I simply had to take my run shirt and bra off. Some t-back bras are so uncomfortable and cause pain in my shoulders and back. I won't get started on my bra rant. (I know, save your applause)

After stretching Gayatri and I went to Runtex for new shoes. It's been a few weeks that I've needed new shoes, and I felt it on this run. Gayatri ended up with no shoes. :-( She'll get 'em though when Gilbert or Benard can help her choose between a couple of pairs.

My boys are healthy again. David's been biking, swimming and aqua-jogging. He's tight-lipped about the status of his leg/shin. My hand still hurts, but it's feeling better (I can actually type without wincing). We are going to have Family Movie Night, and I hope my kids will sit through Trekkies. David and I saw that documentary years ago, and we laughed and laughed. I do love Star Trek so much, but not nearly as much as those folks featured in the movie.
