Awesome Husband

We haven't had home Internet for probably over a year to save money/pay for my race addiction. We also don't have cable/netflix we do have antenna TV and yes you can still get basic channels for those that are wondering (i have been asked a few times). We seem to stay really busy and don't miss it much. When we do need Internet we go and in Jason's terms pillage our parents Internet because they are both just a mile away. Or if we need it for a simple google search we use my company cell phone.

Anyways one of the reasons he is so awesome is he researched and found a $20 USB bluetooth thing to have your computer get Internet via bluetooth through my company blackberry. It is faster than dial up but slower than DSL. But it is Internet so if you notice my knitting/crochet projects slows down it is because I am probably wasting time on the computer.

Bra & Etsy

Weird title I know. I have been working out at my works FREE gym before going to work. It is awesome they have FREE personal trainers and showers so people don't smell at work. I am always worried I am going to forget something like underwear or a shirt or shoes because it is a 25-30 minute drive home. Today I forgot a bra to wear to work so I am wearing my running bra. Not end of the world I told my co-worker that if I smell funny to let me know and I will go buy a bra.

I have been busy knitting here are a few pictures of stuff I have made I have 2 more baby sweaters but they need buttons put on them and a hat that didn't turn out so I think it will go to good will. I opened a Etsy account and have a few things listed to sell.

here is a link to my site http://www.etsy.com/shop/rizzyfrog?ref=pr_shop

Below are the stuff I have listed. Tonight I start taking a class on how to knit socks. I am excited.

Here is a newborn baby hat I made, It has a little leaf on top of it.

My friends baby showing off a hat I made.Here is a picture of the first pullover sweater I made. It probably will fit a 12-18 month old.

YEAH!

I rocked my 20 mile run on Saturday with the help of Cyndie and Marsha my running buddies! It was perfect running weather I couldn't of asked for better weather. I meet my friends in Riverton on the Jordan River Parkway and Cyndie my friends isn't training Ogden full she is running the half so she drove us up to the coppermine that is far west of SLC Valley and dropped us off. We ran 5.5ish miles to her house and used the restroom and filled up our water bottle's. Cyndie joined us for the remainder of our run. We ran to 10600 S and 1300 E and use the bathroom at the Maverick gas station which was about mile 14. Then we got on the Jordan River Parkway and ran the last 6 miles on the parkway back to our cars.

Here is a picture of me, Marsha, and Cyndie after our run showing how many miles we finished. Cyndie had her miles backwards :)

Check out my cousin wife's hair blog! She is a hair dresser in NYC. I love her blog Ihave found the easiest way to do my curly hair from her blog. I style my hair curly as much as I do strait because I can now go more than 1 day without washing it when curly. Here is the link to her awesome blog www.hdofblog.com

BIG 20!

You thought I was going to say I was turning 20 right! Nope I have a 20 mile run this Saturday. Hopefully it will make me feel more prepared for Ogden Marathon. As of right now I don't feel ready to run a marathon because I have been slacking on my training a little.

I realized last night that it was 3 years ago that I started running. Since then I have run 5 marathons and about 14 half marathons.

Here is a picture of Salt Lake 2009 marathon which was my first marathon. It is weird that I am not running Salt Lake Marathon this Saturday after running it in 2009 and 2010.

I have been Busy Busy...

I haven’t blogged for a while. I just have been busy and we don't have internet at home. Fertility drugs didn’t work and so I am just enjoying life and kids will come when they are suppose to for now we aren’t going to do anything in the fertility or adoption area.

I am signed up for Ogden and San Francisco Marathon I also am signed up for a few half marathons along the way to help train for race day. I am up to 16 miles and feeling good.

I got a road bike a month ago I have fallen over 1 time. I went biking with my sister and we turned around I was turned around and had 1 foot clipped in and standing on the other foot. I was waiting for Danielle to turn around and I lost my balance and fell over. I had a good laugh at myself. Then I got hit by a car when ridding from my brother’s house to my house the road was narrow and I went around a corner and a car behind me came around the corner and didn’t see me so I heard tires screeching and then the car hitting the median. My heart was beating so fast I thought I was going to be dead. I found that it only takes 5 minutes longer to go from my brother’s house on my bike than in the car that is just crazy.

I have signed up for a 40 mile bike ride in May and a 62 mile ride in September.

I have been taking different knitting classes. I took 1 to learn how to make a sweater from the top down and then a sweater class that you make the pieces and sew them together. I am signed up for 3 more classes over the next 2 months and will be learning how to make fingerless gloves and socks. It has been fun learning how to make different things and seeing the finished projects.
I will try to blog more but my guess is I won’t till after Ogden marathon May 21st. But for now here is a picture of my frog jason got me when dating wearing a sweater I made for him.

Marathon

I registered for the Ogden Marathon today. I ran the marathon last year. Hopefully this year's race will be nicer to me. I didn't do very well in 2010's race which made me not want to run another marathon.

I might do another Marathon right before or after because once trained it is easy to stay trained.

We had a great Thanksgiving with Jason's family. Jason's grandma has been diagnosed with Pre-Pancreatic cancer the week of Halloween and the tumor was removed 2 days before Thanksgiving and she didn't even have to spend a night in the hospital. The Doctor said they got all of the cancer but they have to go in and get a little bit of the tumor still. The Doctor was telling her she doesn't know how lucky she is because this cancer is never caught early.

I think the fertility drugs still aren't working. I kind of forgot to get my blood tested this month to see if it worked so I will see if the doctor increases the dosage of Clomid this month. Obviously I am not very optimistic about it working because I registered for a marathon in the spring.

Halloween

We had a great Halloween!


Jason made his mind up Friday that he would join me and ran his first Half Marathon. My sister Danielle also ran her first half marathon at that race. Jason and I got free registration for volunteering at another race but Jason doesn't like running in the cold. The race was called the Halloween Half Marathon it starts at Aspen Grove up Alpine Loop and finishes at the Provo Riverwood Shops. The race dropped 2,000 feet my legs are still hurting from the race. Jason and I dressed up for the race. I wore the same costume as last year which is my poodle skirt and cat glasses and Jason was Death.


Here are pictures from the race


Jason before the race

Me a few miles into the race.The costume contest was won by this guy his Forrest Gump outfit was awesome! He was handing out chocolates.

After the race we went to In-N-Out with my Danielle and her family and my mom. After we got showered we laid down and feel asleep for a few hours.

We missed our neighborhood trunk or treat because of the nap so we went up to my brother Chris' and went up and down his street with his family. It was pouring rain till we got back to his house. Look how cute his youngest is. They are also having another baby girl in March.

Then we went by my friend Sheena's house and saw her little girl dressed up as Jessie from Toy Story 3.

We finished the night by going to Jason mom's house and saw his nephew's and niece. His mom had Taco Soup and Rice Crispy Treats for us to chow down on. I didn't buy any candy because we missed the neighborhood trunk or treat but Jason's family sent us home with lots of candy.

Max showing off that he could put 2 suckers in his mouth.
