Ok, so usually I update the website about once a month or so… I’m a little behind! Since Lily’s first birthday she has taken off walking. She goes everywhere now! She still has her unsteady moments but is actually really great at catching herself before she falls (I think she practicing to be a gymnast 
).
I DID IT!!! I ran my first 5k on 9/26/09. Three days before Lily’s first birthday/1 year after giving birth, I ran 3.1 miles. I had been doing some practice runs and was coming in around 38 minutes. My official time was 35:19 – I shaved off almost 3 minutes! It was crazy.
Lilia is ONE!!!
My baby is a year old! We cannot believe how fast this first year has gone. Lily is doing great! She had her one year appointment today and the Dr is thrilled with her progress considering all she has been through in the past 12 months. Josh and I were thinking back about all of the sicknesses she has faught this past year and came up with: RSV, pneumonia, 2 viruses that caused fevers, roseola, 3 ear infections, and random colds that causes her to wheeze. But she is a trooper and just rollin with the punches!
So in my excitement about the 5k (which just to remind you, is THIS weekend!) I forgot to write about the new adventure I (we) have started with my mom (and Sean). My mom and I started a small business called Silly Goose Soups and Dips LLC (check out our website www.sillygoosesoup.com). INstead of rewriting all of this I am posting the email updates that my mom has been sending out. In addition to mom and I, we have sucked in Josh (web design) and Sean (booth design and amazing stapler).
So this summer I decided (pretty much out of no where) that I was going to start running. So I downloaded the C25K (couch-to-5k) app on my iPhone. Its a 9 week program that starts with intervals of walking and running and eventually you are running for 30 minutes. Just the other day I completed my 9 weeks and sure enough – I ran for 30 minutes! So while I was in the middle of this, everyone was asking me when the 5k was. And I kept saying that I wasn’t doing a 5k I just wanted to learn to run. Well then I decided I should have goal. So there is a 5k in Champaign on September 26th and that will be my first (and maybe last) Continue reading »
