Two new places

Brice slept in not one, but TWO new places this morning!!!  His preferred napping place is my lap.  Which you can imagine makes getting anything accomplished is difficult.

Luckily he loves his swing so that is typically where I put him when he falls asleep. This morning when I woke up I decided to just lay him in his crib to I could brush my teeth and get my breakfast ready.  I set him down in his crib (on his back!!!) and when I went back in there this is how he was.  He then stayed this way for an hour and a half.  Let's just hope he will love it this much tonight when we put him in his crib for the first time at night.

I've been having some pain in the top of my foot so I took the past two days off from running and that seemed to make it go away.  I'm nervous that it is my Newton's that are causing the pain though.  To be safe I wore my Saucony's for my run today and there was no pain at all.  I'm not sure if it's the shoes or the rest... we'll see!  Today's run leads us to Brice's second new napping place- the BOB!!!

He normally gets fussy around 12-15 minutes into the run, which did happen today.  This time I could tell that he was getting sleepy so I just slowed down and started walking and just a few minutes later he was out!  It was soooo windy today which made running even more difficult but I did it, and I ran 3.1 miles!  That is the longest I have run since about September.  I am so happy to know that both Brice and myself can make it that distance.  I'm hoping the rain holds off tomorrow and I can run in my first official 5k since having Brice!

Anyone else running any race this weekend?

Any tips or tricks you used to get your baby to sleep in their crib?

#runforboston

I can't seem to shake this feeling resulting from the bombings at the Boston Marathon yesterday.  Someone in our local running group put it perfectly.  He said that a few years ago this tragic event would have felt like a senseless act.  Now that I am a runner all I can seem to think about is who would have been waiting for me at the finish line.  These two cuties are who come to mind.

If I had been running Colin definitely would have been waiting because he is about twice as fast as me!  So today I put on my running shoes and went out for my run to #runforboston.  I was in Boston for vacation during the Summer of 2007 and that is still one of my favorite cities. One day I hope to go back to Boston and be able cross the finish line of the Boston Marathon.  I know I am a LONG way off from qualifying but a girl has to dream right??

This is me and Brice during our run today.  He's made it to where he'll tolerate the stroller for a whole 15 minutes now!!  So now you know what I am a long way off from a qualifying time? I can't even get in 2 consecutive miles with this boy.
