Best run yet!
I had my best run yet today. I finished 2 miles in ~32 minutes, so 16 minute miles! I had been taking walk breaks with a 5:1 minute ratio, but this time I ran the whole distance. I've found that instead of walk breaks, a 40 second stretch break makes a HUGE difference for me, so I'm stretching instead of walking now.

Smartie narrowly avoids death by angry mama!
Today is Cubs Tickets day. Anyone who has tried to buy tickets from the Cubs knows how crazy this is. I had two computers and two phone lines going all morning. So I set up the kids with a movie, then had lunch ready for them when it was done.
They completely ignored me for the hour and a half I listened to busy signals. But the instant I got through, Smartie's radar went off and here she came! The automated voice said, "Please state the event you are looking for." Smartie yelled, "I want to sit on your LAAAAAAAAP!" The Voice said, "I'm sorry, I don't understand you. Please hold while I transfer you." *mom gives Smartie the Look of DEATH!*

Happy B-day to Papa Runner, FIL, and Me!
Yep, three birthdays in the Runner family today.
Here are some updates on our Team in Training adventure:
We have raised $1390 so far. It's so much fun to get the mail these days! There is a $1000 minimum per account to continue beyond March 25. We put $1030 in Papa Runner's account, so he has reached his recommittment goal. I still need $640. We'll see what tomorrow's mail brings.

Alternative Medicine
Has anyone seen or know of an alternative medicine practitioner in the greater Central Illinois area? Homeopathic, naturopathic, herbalist, anything like that? I'm not very happy with traditional medical treatments for my endometriosis and would like to try something else.

Drama Queens
Smartie has always been a drama queen from day one. Today she was upset about something (I never did figure out what.) She came running to me sobing AAAAAAAAAAA. I gave her a hug and kiss and said, "Go finish crying in your room." OOOOOOOKAAAAAAY!
And then Sweetie came up with the fakest drama queen cry you've ever heard AAAAAAAAA! I gave her a hug and kiss and said, "Go finish crying in your room." And off she went giggling like a loon.
