the swine

I hate being sick. I know people don't enjoy being sick....I just think I hate it more than most.

I was sent home from work on Thursday cause I had "swine like symptoms". The test for the swine is really terrible......they push this long stick with a swab up your noise and I mean up......like way up near your eyes. Anyway, I survived that. (maybe that sounds dramatic... "survived") The test came back negative and I could exhale cause I was not part of the swine epidemic.

All I can say is, "three cheers for charlie." When I am sick I think the whole world should stop and nurse me back to health and make sure I make it. When I am sick I want to complain and really make sure everyone knows just how sick I am and they all know exactly everthing that is hurting me. I don't just tend to mention it once that I'm sick, I'm sure to repeat it again and again until I start to gain some health back. I am a very intense patient.

Well, I'm on the road to recovery now!!! If you don't live in NYC I would suggest you stay out for a while till we all get our health back.

The half Marathon race

It was 93 degrees when I finished my 13.1 miles. I wasn't sure if I was going to throw up for pass out first! I can't wait to do another race!!!
It was the hardest thing I have ever made my body do. I thought during mile 12 that my legs might just fall off. It was just so, so very hot out!

I loved that I trained and completed the race! Training in the cold and cool weather made it hard to run in the heat but somehow I pushed my body to do it. It's really amazing what a body can do if the mind just tells it to do it!

Below is a little video charlie took when I was on Mile 6. I am all smiles and really enjoying it.

There is another video of me really close to the finish line but I look half dead. Just enjoy this video where it looks like running is only lots of FUN!

Anyone wanna do the half marathon in the Hamptons in September with me?
