there were other signs too that made me laugh...
"smile, you paid to do this" "half marathon because you're only half crazy" "run faster so you can tailgate sooner" (ucf had their championship game that night) "run like you stole something" "run like someone called you a jogger" "go random stranger go, run like the wind"

aydee, yes it was! My goal was to finish within 3 hours. i crossed the finish line at 2 hours and 58 mins. Goal accomplished! I plan on continuing to run longer runs and do it again - hopefully within 2 and half hours next time!

45thparallel , they (people not affiliated with race) were giving out beer. I grabbed a cup. Then about 4 miles later some more guys were giving out beer, said welcome to the neighborhood. I think that was mile 10. I had more...lol why not right? My half a few years ago was on May 5 and one family was sitting on their lawn with a fiesta decorate table of tequila shots and beach clothes on. It was funny because May 5 here is not warm. Half of the years this race happens during a blizzard haha. I knew my time was going to win me any awards and I 100% had a shot. Why not right?

Lol. I dont think I had a drink during the half I did. It was before babies. Things are good. I'm trying to night wean the baby and looking forward to being done with pumping. I'm excited for the holidays now that ds1 really gets it this year.

I'm excited for the holidays now that ds1 really gets it this year. Good luck with the night weaning! We are pretty consistent at 1x night which works for me. It is actually DS that gives us more trouble during the night!! Also looking forward to being done pumping. I was thinking I'd stop after Christmas break but now I think I'll just go down to 1x per day then for as long as I can handle it. I will still have all the washing and stuff but at least I'll get to eat a warm lunch and talk to my colleagues a little bit.

what is everyone getting their kiddos for Christmas? Or your spouses? I got H concert tickets, a ticket diary (place to keep all event tickets), vinyl record coasters, and hopped up coffee. A is getting a new tablet, a bike, and some small things. C is getting play doh, a baby alive doll (although when you ask him what he wants for christmas his response is "my sisters baby doll, this kid i tell ya), a doctors outfit and possibly a diner set (same set that armpants has)

RunsforWineandCarbs, I got DH a Greenbay Packers helmet, and the kids got the Nintendo Switch. They already have it so I just bought a few things for their stockings to get from Santa. We've been doing 5 minute Spiderman stories and I found a feminist 5 minute Fearless Girl stories about real women and I couldn't help myself haha. They are each getting 1 book and 1 science kit. Then a Volcano kit to share. We got DS a packers flag as his santa gift and I may get a coffee maker toy for DD as hers.

M's big toy is a power wheels. He's getting a ton of other stuff as I went overboard 😬 (we actually have put stuff back for his birthday). Another item we expect to be a big hit is a full size Buzz Lightyear and slinky dog. We also have several games and art supplies.
H I'm still deciding, but I'm fairly certain I'm getting him a new wedding ring since his doesn't fit anymore. Probably also pepper jellies to grill with. We've decided to keep it simply between us this year.

Wow RunsforWineandCarbs that sounds rough. My last filling was done without freezing and it seems like yours was worse. They must have been deep!

HEY LADIES!!!! I've been around on GD and Blinds, but haven't been around here much. J is doing well. Still not the best sleeper, but we manage. F is such a great baby and is getting so big. She also has two teeth that popped through. My assistant at work gave her notice and her last day is Friday so work will be a shitshow for me for awhile. I just want like 6 months of no crazy work stuff. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!
