Whew...I am so tired....

Spring has certainly sprung here in New Hampshire. Don't get me wrong it is stil soooo cold (44 today) and we don't have leaves on the trees yet, but I did see my first Bumble Bee outside today and my lilacs are starting to have leaves. The pollon is also horrible and now I am taking Claritin and 2 of my kiddos are on Zyrtec....I am not a big med person, but man we are suffering. I am thinking that allergies are the reason that I am so tired.

Now let's talk a little Boston. First off the expo was incredible. Every running company you can imagine was there including one of my favorites....RunningSkirts. I know you are all wondering what I purchased...the Pinkaliscious skirt with 2 strappy tops. I also got to meet Christy. Can you believe that she worked the expo for 3 days and then went and ran the Marathon? Pretty unbelievable. I also saw Kristin Armstrong (Lance's ex wife). She was signing her book Mile Markers at the Runner's World table. Ryan Hall was also signing his book and he looked great. IT was so exciting. So much energy, people with their bags and their numbers. Everyone smiling, talking about the race and just as gracious to those not running as those running. IT totally reinforced my feelings about running the race. I will get there, I don't know when, but I will get there. I am hoping with Izzie in full day Kindergarden next year that I will be able to put a little more focus into my running. Preschool is tough, only 2 1/2 days a week and one full day. When she is with me I don't always want to drag her out to the gym or in the stroller. (she is getting kind of heavy) I also am feeling like this is her last year with me and I am trying to be WITH her instead of dragging her WITH me. Oh well...in the end I will get there.

Well, I am signing off for the night. The boys are at Lacrosse practice and the girls are playing school. I am going to read for a little while and get ready for my day tomorrow. Happy Tuesday night everyone.
