13.1- Endorphins Make People Happy

As Nike says JUST DO IT! I DID IT!!! The Boston Run to Remember 2011. This was my first Half Marathon.

I thought I did pretty well for my first time and considering the humidity was horrible. I was proud of myself not for the time of my race but the TIME I gave to myself 3 times a week as I trained. I set a goal for myself and FOLLOWED THROUGH!

I set goals all the time and am successful. These goals consist of setting up the agenda for the Daisy meeting, making sure Elise is reading X amount of hours a week, and tackling all the clutter in the office. When I make a goal for myself like reading or organizing my photos if something comes up it's always pushed aside. When I signed up for the Half Marathon I set up my training so I would have no excuses. I ran before the girls got up. The weekend runs were done before activities or Birthday Parties. If the weather was too severe I had a treadmill in my basement.





I never thought I would enjoy running especially starting my training in the winter. Running has been life changing for me though.

Moms NEED to get out there and exercise whether it's running, yoga or walking the dog. We need those 'Happy Hormones' to be better mothers, wives, and friends. I also feel like I'm setting a good example for my girls. Taking care of yourself both physically and emotionally is important.








I love this clip from Legally Blond and it's true Endorphins make people happy:)

Summer is coming

Every day this week has been rainy and cold. The girls and I are dreaming of summer so we created our Summer Lists.

This year I'm going to try something different. Elise, Corinne and I started a Blog. It will be filled with our adventures, pictures and all the fun we have.

Check it out!

Daddies Little Girl

This past weekend was something to make a mother's heart melt. Friday Elise had her first Father Daughter Dance. She was so excited. When she got off the bus we had a mini spa day. I painted nails, toes and even curled her hair.





Neal gave her which I'm sure will be the first of many corsages. I took pictures at home but followed them to the school for more.





Elise had a great time. Neal told me he was the first Dad to get on the Dance floor. This doesn't surprise me because he is such an amazing father. Enjoy the pictures! Thanks for checking on us.
