I Love this quote! What wise words to live by.
Adam is currently working 2 jobs. One is a graveyard shift. Although we're grateful to HAVE the job, it has not been fun. I worked graveyard for 9 years, but I was in my 20's. It's a lot harder in your 30's. We also haven't seen each other much. That's the worst part. He works from 10pm to 6am Sunday-Thursday nights. He sleeps for 5 hours (if he's lucky) and goes to job #2 for about 4 hours. He tries to NOT work on Fridays. I don't normally work Fridays, so when all goes as planned, we have the day together. For some reason, this doesn't work out nearly often enough.
When I'm in Adam's arms, everything is right in the world. When see the beautiful young women my baby girls have become, I remember why we do this. I just miss him.
I've been running a lot to get ready for my marathon. I LOVE to run. It's the only other place I find peace. However, training for a marathon takes so much time. My long run days have been 3 to 5 hours. That's a long time to be away when my family is home. I hope to run for the rest of my life. It will just be nice to Run-4-Fun again. I want to do a few 1/2 marathons next year. They are a lot easier to train for.
MARATHON COUNT DOWN: 6 Days!
I feel ready! But now I'm having Marathon nightmares. Last night I dreamed I was 5 or 6 miles into it, and I stopped to stretch, and fell asleep. I have 6 hours to finish the marathon, the gives me until 1pm. In the dream, I woke up at 4:30pm. I was devastated! I've worked so long and hard for this. All I want to do is FINISH! Have any of my fellow runners experienced MARATHON NIGHTMARES?

Good luck with the marathon. I've never had marathon nightmares, but every year before the first day of school, I'd have teaching nightmares. I think it's probably normal with anything you think about constantly and are a little nervous about. I'm sure you won't fall asleep. Somebody is bound to wake you up.:)
My OB (when I was pregnant with Javi) said he used to have a dream that he'd be delivering a baby and the head would come out and then fall off, and he'd be delivering the rest of the baby and trying to figure out how to tell the parents. I think anything you work at or think a lot about can give you nightmares. :-)
Good luck on your run! And hang in there - the job situation will work itself out. Just takes time. :-)
Hey, mom! I am so excited to go with you on your marathon trip. Don't worry about our situation. Gooos-frah-bah.
Hang in there--I'm rooting for you!
Oh Beth, I know I had terrible nightmares about it all the time. To tell you the truth, I have forgotten them all now, and I just remember the wonderful feeling of the real thing! You are about to FINISH A MARATHON!!! That is definitely something that would cause a person to loose sleep at night! You are so amazing to keep pushing through and doing this, despite a few bumps along the way! I love you! Logan awaits!! p.s. There is a sign here in Logan that is counting down the days until the marathon. Every time I drive by it, I smile and think of you! Love you!
How did the marathon go? I saw a picture on Carl's blog...
