Running Update

Wow...so I dropped the running bomb on you quiet a while ago and then just left you hanging! Let me give you all a little update as to where I am at. Yes, I am still running! Woo hoo! For me this is a MIRACLE! I have actually started lifting weights with the SandRidge trainer 2 days a week as well. I am loving the feeling of lifting and being sore...but I think it is taking a tole on my running. I was running every day so it was getting a lot easier. Now I am running every other day and it is making it a little more difficult. It will all come together soon...I just have to be patient! Right now I am running 4 minutes walking 1 minute (sometimes I have to walk 2!) and going for 3 miles. I am at about a 35 minute pace so I need to shave some time off! One thing that I think is going to be difficult for me is getting used to running outside. Right now I do everything on the treadmill. It is so much harder to run outside! Ugh! Well, I better get used to it because on October 9th I am running the Race for the Cure 5k! Who am I?! I remember when I used to have to go to this thing with Pi Phi and right when the race would start I would sneak off and go back to my car to go home!!!! Sad but true! Well I guess this time I am going to try to make up for all those runs I missed!

I have to give a shout out to my friend Kelly again! She just ran her 2nd half marathon and is about to run another in October. She is amazing and is definitely my inspiration! She loves to tell everyone that she couldn't even run a mile when she started! Look at her now! I love you Kelly!

The weather is starting to get nicer and running outside will be much better! Get off the couch and go for a run...you might just get inspired :)

I am an Aunt again! Ok so maybe not a blood aunt, but the bonds of Pi Phi sisterhood are just as strong right? One of my best friends Rachel had her baby girl on September 21, 2010 at 1:45 p.m. She weighed in at 6 pounds 5 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. She was tiny, pink, perfection! As you all know I have 5 neices and nephews, so I have done the whole baby/hospital visit thing a few times. It is completely different when you go and see one of your friends. I honeslty can't describe it. Maybe it was a feeling of "oh, wow, this will be me some day soon!" but it was completely surreal. I was SOOOOOOOO proud of her. Of course, in true Rachel fashion, not one complaint came out of her mouth. She was pretty much the bubblies post birth woman I have ever seen. Hearing her side of the story was quiet refreshing...of course she told us all "it wasn't that bad." Maybe she is just trying to not scare us so we will all hurry up and give Shayne some friends! Haha! I love Rachel so much and now I love baby Shayne even more. Congratulations Rachel and Zac!

This picture is really blurry (thanks Darren!) but we are definitely haloing Rachel and Shayne :)

Chase Ray Lasley

I am an aunt again! Woo hoo! On Sunday, August 29th, Dusty called us a 2:30 in the morning to tell us that Megan's water had broke and they were headed to the hospital! Darren and I went back to sleep knowing that this could be a very long processes...no need to head to the hospital just yet. Well, at around 6:00 a.m. we got a text saying the baby should be here around 8:15! Holy Moly...shortest labor EVER!!!!!!!!!! So we got up, got ready, and headed to the hospital in Enid. Chase Ray Lasley made his way into the world on August 29th, 2010 at 10:02 a.m. He weight 7 lbs 10 0z and was 21 inches long! We just love him so much already and think he is a PERFECT new addition to the Lasley clan!
