Marathon Bound

The moment has arrived and we are leaving today around noon for San Antonio. Jake is staying with my in-laws in Bossier and Landry will be with my parents. This week has been rough as our whole household has been sick. Landry was sick Sunday and Monday. Matt, Jake, and I were sick on Tuesday(also my birthday) and Matt had to go to Baton Rouge that day for an overnight stay.

As of today I still don't feel 100% but I am hoping be OK by Sunday. Currently I am trying to stay hydrated by drinking PLENTY of water. I did manage to get 3 runs in this week although it rained a lot and I felt horrible. So thankful to have Sarah running this marathon with me! Hopefully we will stay together the whole time. There is supposed to be cold front coming through this weekend and this is music to my ears for Sunday. On Saturday I am having to take another Praxis test(the parish I am teaching in is making me take the elementary content area test since I took the grades 6-12 test when I was doing my undergrad work...and now I am back teaching in the elementary level) and since I HAD(according to the parish) to take it in November and it was the day before the marathon, I went ahead and signed up for the test in San Antonio. This was a better option than taking it in Ruston on Saturday and then driving all day only to run the very next day. Hope all that made sense. The Praxis is the new version of the NTE(National Teachers Exam).

Onto an exciting event in our household.........Landry is standing up on her own. And then she falls down, but that is ok! She can come the position by pushing off the floor. She is growing up way too fast! Jake was no where close to walking at her age. He was just starting to pull up when we brought Landry home from the hospital last year. He finally walked around 14 months. I am not trying to compare!, this is all we know:).

I hope you all have a great weekend! We are coming home on Monday.
