My new workout!

So this is my new workout. Porsha gets mad when I get on my treadmill because she wants to be held or close to me. I have tried putting her in her play gate thing but she just sits there and whines at me and I can't stand it. I pulled this out of storage and this is how we made our compromise. She actually fell alseep at mile 1.5 and so I finished the last half mile without her on my back. I wonder how many extra calories it burns to have her on my back like that? :) I can't wait til summer when I can go outside and run. Then I have my older girls to watch the kids while I go running in the mornings. Although they insist they are going with me this summer every morning. Mike goes running in the mornings outside and I would love to be able to go with him. If my girls want to run I usually follow them in the car afterward with the little kids in the car with me. The little ones even get out a run a little ways.

Sore Finger!

If you look closely at Taylyr's little pinky finger you can see the bandage. The school called me on Tuesday and said she had gotten her finger slammed in the bathroom door. It was awful. I think it took around 10 stitches to put it all back together and they had to remove her fingernail and stitch the nail bed too. I couldn't watch it all. Gross! She was pretty upset and didn't want stitches. When the doctor unwrapped it and looked at it she kind of moned (the doctor) and then Taylyr said, "Yea, I don't think it needs stitches, just put a bandaid on and we can go". It was pretty funny. She came through it okay though and was fine. I am sure she will be sore for a while :(

PRICELESS!!!

Okay, so the picture below is priceless. I don't think Mike and Clint are ever going to get a picture like this one again. After the race had been over for awhile we went back into the track. They let us walk around the outside fence of the track and when we got around to the tower where they hold out the green flag, there was nothing blocking us from going to the top and that was just what Mike and Clint did. I told them to run and they did. I snapped the picture and they were hi tailing it down cause as you can see from the above picture, security was on the way. The Po Po was parked on the other side of the fence, I guess waiting to see if we gave security a hard time. I don't care what you say, it was a chance worth taking. Mr. Security Dale was very nice though and didn't give us a complimentary escort out of the track. He was pretty cool. It was AWESOME!
Mike and Clint. Priceless. All they are missing is the green flag.

So this is another story. When we first got into the track the inside field of trailer people were causing quite a commotion. They were out running on the track and riding bikes and rangers. Security tried to reign it all in but it didn't work. Finally the Po Po Canine units came and boy they had everyone a'runnin! This guy was running around the track in his underwear. I kept telling him to take them off. Who honestly can say that they have run around the Las Vegas Speedway naked? I bet you can't find one. Boy the Po Po was all over him chasing him back into the fences.
