So, lets start with Friday morning. Lexi started crying as I was doing her hair (I seem to recall this earlier in the week) saying her legs and arms hurt. I still sent her to school, she was really fine. Patch and I went to do some grocery shopping and of course, I got a call from her teacher saying she was crying because her arms and legs hurt. I pick her up...she was fine the rest of the day. Can you say DRAMA!
Tyler had THREE friends sleep over Friday night. Have I mentioned that Chris and I thought we decided our kids would only be allowed late nights, not sleepovers?! They were actually really good boys, and it helps me see who he favors as friends but also lets me see how he acts around them. Who knows, maybe I was wrong about sleepovers.
Saturday Tyler had his last FLYERS game of the season. I didn't go (I'll get to that later) but his friends all tagged along and got to see him score the first goal of the game. They ended up tying, so it was a good end to the season.
Chris also had his last championship game of the season. THEY WON! I was so proud of him. He acts like it's nothing, but they played against this team that I don't think they've EVER won against. All the guys on the opposing team are a bunch of younglings. (That's kind of funny since we're only 31). It was a great end of his season too!
Also on Saturday I had my first 10 mile run. Let me just say it was the easiest, hardest thing I've ever done. Are you confused? Me too. The whole time my mind and body kept switching places telling me it was too hard while the other part would say "I'm feeling good, keep going". The last .5 mile I just got really angry...at nothing. How do you get angry at nothing? It's taken me until today to really feel proud of this accomplishment. We ran it in 1:37:15. The wind was crazy and we hit some long hills, but I'm so glad I pushed myself to get through it. Really I have a great trainer/friend who knows how to push me and keep me going.
Now if that could have just counted at the race!

Emily it does make complete sense. It's amazing the power of our minds. Sometimes I think if our spirits were not so strong and determined we would just quite. Yet here we are telling our bodies and our minds that we want and can do it. Somehow it all comes together. I think the best part of all is the empowerment and strength it gives us to accomplish anything.
You are amazing.
I'm very impressed (& more than a little intimidated) by your running! Yay for your guys with their hockey...
