Keys

Last Friday I meet my husband for lunch. As we departed to our cars after lunch, I got into the car and I couldn't turn the key. I figured it was because the wheel was turned, so I pulled on the wheel and lean on it to try to turn the key - it wouldn't turn. I panic and hurried up and called Cody as I seen him pulling out of his parking spot. After explaining my issue he came over and parked right in front of the car and hopped out of the Pilot.
He switch me spots and he couldn't get the key to turn either. He asked what did I do the car? I notice he was blocking people with the pilot, so I went to move it as I am getting into the pilot - he yelled for me to come back. He started up the car and said he got it. I asked him what was the issue?

You was using the Pilot key not the Accord key.
He just walked away shacking his head, he couldn't say a word.

I always know how to keep life entertaining.

Public Service Announcement

My Dog Bella is not FAT , she just has a little bit extra meat on the bones this winter.

I have had a few people come over to my home and said "Wow, Bella has gained some extra weight" She is not FAT, she happy and has started working on loosing a few pounds.

I got my girl's back!

Got Common Sense?

As my husband is sitting there with a friend he said he meet some interesting people.

Picture this at a roulette table on a Friday night at a local casino

One man still had his work uniform on and had talked about how he left right after work straight to the casino, he asked Cody "Hey do you have the time, I am suppose to pick up a Papa's Murphy pizza and bring it home to dinner to my family" Cody told him its 11:45PM. The man said "Oh Shit, its that late already" - Poor family waiting on dinner that never came and their father had spent his paycheck at the casino for hours!!!

Second man was complaining he had child support due and had not paid it for a while and needed to win big. He said he had no job or paycheck and he will be put in jail soon if he can't make Child support. - Why is he at the casino spending his last dime hoping to make a few extra dollars?

What happen to having common senses these days?

No Pain No Game

I will be honest, I was hoping to not experience any pain during this training but I was wrong.

Last Saturday I ran 7 miles and the day after my foot started to hurt. I just stayed off of it and played it off. Monday morning no pain, so I ran the normal 4 miles. Tuesday light pain, so I went to a Physical Therapist that is working with my training program. He asked to see my shoes and this first thing that came from his month was "WOW, THESE ARE THE WORST SHOES TO RUN IN" I thought GREAT! 100 dollar plus shoes that I been running in are bad on my feet.

Long story short-He filled out a paper and said go back to the running company (where I got my shoes) and have them exchange them for another pair of shoes and he wrote down three different kinds to try. He had me try some out that night and watched me run to make sure these would help.

Wednesday night was our long run (8 miles) so I just grab a pair of old Nike's that I had. God was I wrong. My big toe has been rubbed raw and my foot was in so much pain it was shooting up my leg to my lower back. No worries- I finished/ran the whole 8 miles and went straight home and put ice on my foot.

Thursday (Today) I am in pain. I turn in my heels for tee shoes today. I barely walked away from my desk and I just kept close throughout the day. I went straight after work to the Running Company and after 3 months of training they did exchange my shoes and they was CHEAPER!! So I walked around looking for things to also purchase, since I had a credit. Did I mention I had a $10 coupon as well? So, I got a new pair of running shorts, some non rub stick and a new pair of shoes for $3.19.

When the guy said 319....I asked again how much he said 319. I said 3 hundred and 19 dollars? haha

Good Bye Jeep

Today we turn in the Jeep.

Cody told me I better write a blog about it....so here it is.

Our Jeep.... was our first car together 3 plus years ago. It didn't get damage or a window didn't get knocked out through college. It moved us from College to adult life. Than it allowed us to bring home our baby girl Bella. But most imporant the Jeep helped us move into our first new home and many...many trips to Lowe's.
We traveled from North than South, to East than to West of the whole state of Indiana.

Thank you for a great time our Green Jeep Compass.

Hello, Honda Pilot.

Personal Best

Every week I been hitting personal best.

I was doing 11 to 10 minutes a mile
than 9:50, 9:45 and this past Monday
9:30 minutes per mile and ran 4 miles total.

I never had a personal goal to run for speed I was running for distance. I think I am doing both.

Bring it on!

So, Do you REALLY want to know whats the hardest thing so far training for the mini marathon?

Its not running endless miles...but ask me again when we get to the 10 or 12 mile marker.
Its not running in the rain, wind, snow or ice.
Its not running in the road and almost get run over.
Its not learning to listen to my body- I have learned a lot about my body and how it reacts.

Its EATING....yes eating. I been on a diet for a year now and I have train myself to eat about 1200 to 1500 calories a day. Now, that I am now running 7, 8, 9......and ect miles I NEED TO EAT MORE. Its very hard to force myself to eat.

So Bring on the bagels, muffins, pasta, bread, and mash potatoes
BRING IT ON CARBS.

Side note - If I eat more Carbs I normally loose weight, if I don't eat a lot of carbs that week I gain or don't loose any weight.

Winter Weight

Last summer I tried to run with Bella but it was dragging 20lbs behind me and it was a joke.

This year is a little different. We have been starting to take our nightly walks since its been nice and she has began to run on her own. She will start running with her short little legs and look back at me saying "Come on lets go" She is forcing us to run with her.

Her grandma did tell her yesterday....she was fat and had gain some weight. She must be trying to work off the winter weight quickly.

A Wild Hair

My husband jumps out of bed throws on some workout clothes and says "I am going to do something I haven't done in years, going on a bike ride" I look at the clock and its 8:30am. He is out the door before I can leach the dogs so they can go to the bathroom and he is down the road. We walked around to the back of the yard came back around the other side and there is Cody inside the house looking at us.

What a long bike ride he had.......at least he went on one I guess.

Trash Day!!

Who loves doing trash?
Even better, you loves dragging the trash can out to the end of the drive way?
This past week I drag the big can at the end of the drive way (in high heels), than hopped in the Jeep to move it so I can get one of the Honda's out of the garage. Completing forgetting about the trashcan, I backed up into the can. So, I pulled up and got around it moved the Jeep on the other side of the drive way. I got in the Pilot and start to pull out to go to work and completing forgetting....
BANG!!!
I HIT THE TRASH CAN AGAIN.
So I hit the stupid can two times with two different cars in a 10mintue span.

Chick fil A

I love Chick-fil-A and I think its so great every time I go there EVERYONE is friendly. Its nice going somewhere where people say thank you and please and have a nice day. It means alot in the long run and it makes me want to spend my money there than anywhere else.

Thank you Chick fil A!

Whats the point?

Whats the point in lying?
Why lie about something so small?
Is it worth loosing my trust?
Hell, have you lied about something big?
How many times have you lied?
Should I keep my distance or think twice when we talk?
Whats the REAL reason in lying?
Are you gaining anything from it?
Do you feel better after-wards?
Have you got ahead in life because of it?
So, how many more lies can I caught you in?
How many more years?
How many years have you been lying about the small things?
Somethings seem small to you, have you thought how BIG its to me?
Can you explain it to me?


Its the whole principal. Period.

Spring

As I sit here I hear creak-its!!! As our backyard is backed up to a wild life pond we hear and see many different kinds of wild life but this is the FIRST sign that spring is coming. I hear the loud creak-its as they are letting the word out that spring is coming.
Here is one of our many animals that came up to our front door to visit.

Eating out

We have been trying to stop eating out as much during the work week. We found our selves many times just garbing something quick to eat instead of cooking after a long days of work and run. We have been doing this for a few weeks and its been hard.

The other night we had hamburger laid out ready to make dinner and Cody plead with me lets order pizza. After we talked about and talked about it, I just threw the hamburger in the skillet and started cooking it.

My husbands reply "Thank you for doing that, we need to eat at home"

Case Closed.

What are you looking at?

Spoiled

Yes, I said it...I am spoiled. We currently have three cars until we turn in our lease jeep at the end of the month. So, I been driving the Jeep which has been parked outside. I can't believe how easy I had it when I parked in the garage. I don't have to start my car to warm it up or wait for my windows to defrost so I can drive away.

Along the road....

As I ran through Fishers on my 4 mile run the things I found along the road....

1. Broken running sunglasses
2. Broken/used water bottle
3. Ice scraper
4. Garage door opener - broken
5. Dead mouse
6. Old shoe
7. A glove
9. A toy truck
10. Open and probably used condom

10K Race

On Satruday I ran a 10K race downtown Indy. It was my first race ever and it was great knowing I could run 6.2 miles. It took me 1 hour, 6 minutes and 10 seconds. The average race time was 1 hour and 5 minutes. They had a little over 1700 runners/walkers.

I really enjoyed running with people through out the race. I even looked for places where my husband and family can park during the mini so I can have some cheering during the race.

Just think that I almost ran half of the mini race. Only 61 days left!!!

Dear Logan

Welcome to the world Logan,
My name is Meg and I am your Aunt. Well..your cool aunt. If you would like sugar, Mt. Dew, or the loudest toy please do not hesitate to let me know.
I do not have toys at my house or know the latest toy but I have two white fluff dogs that love to play.
I am a bit uneducated when it comes to crying, baby supplies or responding to non-direct request - Give me some time.

When we are alone away from your mom, grandma or anyone else. Do not cry, dirty a diaper, or ask for food.

We both will be screwed.

Love your Aunt!
