Does anyone give gifts to their daycare providers? This is V's last week in the infant room *sniff* and I was thinking about sending something to her teachers. The problem is, I don't know how many there are in total. There are 2 main teachers and maybe 4 or 5 others that rotate around. Do you have...

Congrats!!! I'm excited for you that you have found another race already!

Agreed! You boys should race like this more often!

Nice work Ironcoll - it seems like your running has really picked up lately!

I switch hands when I run with the stroller too and will also do the push ahead and catch it technique.

He seems to have gotten used to it (and I am getting used to putting it on quickly). :) Thanks everyone! If anyone has tips on how to get him used to swimming in a lifejacket (and not freaking out when it flips him over onto his back), that is the next issue to overcome. Oh, life with a toddler :lo...

Wow I was cranky yesterday! Sorry for the whiny post. I'm not any less cranky today :roll: but I'll take it out on someone else. I'm having a really hard time adjusting to the return to work. I feel like I'm doing a lousy job there - I've already had to miss a number of days there because of sick ki...

sleep.

I feel as though I'm learning the stages of tired. There's tired, wiped, exhausted, and then blurry. I'm currently living in the blurry stage where I'm not really tired anymore, but never feel as though I'm functioning quite right. This is super awesome at work. And probably matches FP's state of ti...

Hurray FP for running. Good for you! Pts - it's okay to have a crappy run. I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet. Why not decide that week if the goal is too ambitious (not that I think that it is, but if you go in with unrealistic expectations and know that you'll end up beating yourself up for it...

For those of you with 3 year old boys, what is a good birthday gift for a 3yo boy (I have never been to their house so don't even know what he has/likes etc.)? I don't see his family having the same toy taste as I do, so it is a hard one (and I usually get books but I am not sure they would be appr...

Pretty quiet around here lately....I'm back to work and try everyday to find some time to run. So far, it's not working out for me. The transition back to work has been challenging and I miss my boys like crazy. I think that I need to pick a goal race and set up a schedule to actually get out there...

Much much harder. I would say that we are still transitioning. It doesn't help that Alex wants to go to bed at 6:30 (I get home just after 6) and Timmy is totally acting up right now and just causing trouble - I'm pretty sure as a reaction to me going to work. And everybody has been sick so it's be...

I would go too Erin. I took the boys out to BC to see my grandparents for the same reason - they are starting to get really old and time is limited. Despite the fact that I was on my own for 1/2 the trip and it was an incredible amount of work, I'm really glad that I did it. Alex has his days when h...

Nice work all you running mommas!!

Jwolf's recipe is good. I almost always make my own granola since most of the store-bought stuff has nuts. It's super easy but don't let it burn!

Can you sit on him to hold him down while you do it?

I usually try to get my hand under his chin first before he can put it down. Does that make sense?

I think that it's unanimous! Do it!

Good work!!

I think that I might actually be able to call myself a runner again!! This makes me so happy. Currently plotting a race or two as I'm just itching to do one soon. Quick, everyone tell me about your upcoming running or racing plans so I can get even more excited!!

I'm so impressed by everyone's races this weekend - you should all be proud. I'm so inspired by all of you!!

Nice comeback!!

Congrats to you!! Great report. You should be proud of yourself today!
