Ugh, Twelve.
So I ran a couple miles yesterday. TWELVE to be precise. It hurt. But shhhh don't tell anyone, because I want everyone to think it was no big deal. { I need to be able to say "Oh, yeah, I ran the half marathon NBD."} When you make it sound like no big deal, then you get more compliments. Not that I need that. My self esteem is totally intact. But, I still keep my attitude balanced to the more humble side. That's what's awesome about me. Anyway back to the twelve miles thing. Turns out, you can only use the "Ugh-I-ran-really- far-can-you-do-everything-for-me?" excuse once. Pete was pretty impressed when I came home after the 10 mile run and was willing to do little extra things for me so I could rest off the soreness. Now that I've done the twelve however, apparently it's old news. It's not like I ask a lot of him. All I would like him to do is get drinks for me, and make the baby a bottle (because I ran twelve miles), and pull the laundry out of the dryer, and fold it, and then go back downstairs, because I forgot that I wanted the whites in the washer instead of the colors (the stairs are too much for my knees. .. y'know, cuz I ran twelve miles) Oh, and finish the honey do's too because I was busy all day(running twelve miles). I don't know why, but he's just not into helping me much anymore. Marriage is SO hard sometimes! You know, it's give and take. And I GAVE MY ALL running that far, so really Pete, I get to take. Am I right?

For what its worth, your mama is impressed. For hecks sakes Pete! She ran twelve miles, bring her a power bar and gatorade before you expect her to take those grueling stairs!
Jodi ~ I think you are AMAZING! AND I think you should take next week off. Skip the laundry, skip the grocery shopping, and skip making dinner. YOU DESERVE IT!!!
I'm proud of you for making it twelve miles - half marathon here we come!! Maybe I will see you tonight as I am doing my 42 laps around the track- hee!hee!
Make sure Andrew doesn't have anything planned for April 18 because you will need help around the house that day! You will be busy taking a nap!!
Andrew says: She will not be taking a nap. She has dishes to do. :)
Andrew: you are grounded from Jared because you must have learned your chauvenistic attitude from him. I would like to see you run 12 miles and live to tell about it.
Jodi: Yea for you!!!! Keep it up. I think you deserve a whole weekend on the couch for your 12 miles!
I did not post that message. Jodi set me up to make herself look better. she does things like this to me all the time. Andrew
Andrew, do I have to monitor my comments? Behave or you don't get to come to my blog anymore.
