Update

So again, it has been a long time since my last post. I really am going to try to get better....things have just been crazy. I have alot to report so I am going to brief about all of my updates.

I wanted to give an update on the biting incidents we had a daycare. She had been bitten a total of 8 times in 8 weeks and on June 7th 2010 bit 9 happened. I was furious, upset, disappointed, etc. This bite was terrible and I had enough. It is so hard sending Hailey to daycare day to day and sending her knowing she is be bitten and not properly taken care of is 100 times worse. Bit 9 happened on a Monday and I pulled her that day. My friend Amber was so great and agreed to help me out, watching Hailey, over the next two weeks until my sister-in-law kept her for the summer. This summer has been going great, Hailey has had the opportunity to spend alot of quality time with her cousins.

Paul always has vacation the week of July 4th. Back in March, when we ran our 1st 5K, my friend Amber mentioned that registration opened the next day for the Peachtree Road Race, the largest 10K in the world. She asked me if I was interested in doing it. I decided that I was up for the challenge but needed to talk it over with Paul. It was a long drive to run a race and it was our vacation. I mentioned it to Paul and was very supportive (and has been since I started running). We decided that we would make that part of our vacation, since the race was on July 4th. So I registered but to be honest really had not training over the next few months to run a 10K. I had still been running a 5K once a month and run a couple times a week but I really had not run more than 4 miles. I really wasn't sure if I was going to run until the week before. Amber and I were both back and forth but we decided we could do it and would do it together. We had start wave F, I believe the starts waves were A-W. Long story short, we did it. I finished 26, 165 out of 50,913. I finished in 1 hour and 12 minutes.

I really want to write more because it was an amazing experience but since I have been really slack on blogging and have alot of catching up to do, I am not going to. With that being said, my fellow runner wrote an amazing post about our race experience. Check it out......http://tittletimes.blogspot.com/

Hailey had her 18 month check up last week and she received a clean bill of health. She was 33 lbs and 35 inches. She is in the 99th percentile for both height and weight. She is growing like a weed. She is learning so many words and is becoming very sassy.
