April is for Fools!

So this month truly started off with a BANG when Ben broke his leg.......

He was at my gym's daycare and tried to step up on a bouncy ball, which of course rolled out from underneath him..... and BAM.....broken tibia.....





But it has already been 3 weeks in his cast, and it is off!  He is doing so much better but still limps around like he has a cast on.  

This last Saturday, I ran the half marathon Robie Creek....it is wicked hard.  The course is 8.1 miles up a mountain then 5 miles down the backside of it.  It.  Was.  Painful.  But such a good accomplishment.  The last time I ran it was 4 1/2 years ago, 6 months after Luke passed away.  I was in such a bad place then.  This time, I could think of him and smile.  I wanted to make him proud of me.  



And a few days before I ran the race, I had a birthday--olĂ©!!  Turning 36 wasn't that bad at all!!  But I am a birthday lover!  Bring on old age baby!  I am almost ready for that rocking chair......just need to get a few more miles under my belt!
