The Numbers Don't Lie

16- Miles I biked on Saturday in the beautiful, beautiful weather.

103.5- Fever my daughter has had

5- days that she has had the above mentioned fever

6- days it took for my son to get the same fever virus

102.1- fever my son has

2- parents that are exhausted from the above mentioned children being up all night because of the fevers.

2 1/2 -amount of people it took to get the medicine into Brooke's mouth until I discovered it looked exactly like melted icecream...stuck a few sprinkles....VOILA!

20 -laps I did in the pool

4- the number I'm up to without stopping for a breathing break...(that's a lot! lol)

2- hours before I hit the hay because I'm exhausted from all the fevers, biking, swimming and holding down of kids!(to get the medicine in! Don't be calling CPS!)

15- days since I haven't run

  7. btw - I've been meaning to tell you about this for awhile. Amazing father/son story, as well as an amazing runner story (kinda like the Olympic one you posted). Saw it on Elizasmom.

  9. The "hubs" had no problem watching the kiddies while you got some workouts in. I'm just glad Brooke's feeling better. Now we have to get Lukey Duke's back into tip top shape.....
    And - yes Marie - Annette showed that to me as well. Amazing!!!!!

  10. Oh man! Brutal! Good job on the swim, though. That is a lot!

    Wanted to answer your question about the run-walk. I am really glad we did it for the 18-miler. I think it helped a lot, and I am totally confident it will help me in the race, too. The only real con is that I'm having a hard time figuring out my paces. I think for the next long run, I will set my watch to show pace instead of total time to help with that. But it's hard to tell what I should run for a certain time. Know what I mean? Like if I want to run at a 10:10 pace, how fast do I have to run, then walk to get that?
