I’ve Returned…

April 27, 2010 by Elaine

…to home and to blogging.

My weekend was wonderful, relaxing, hilarious and a little painful (I’ll explain) and just a beautiful, fun time with good friends.

There’s a lot to say and many pictures to post. But some will have to wait because frankly, I’m adjusting back to reality now that my MIL and BIL are gone and Tim is back to work. Oh yeah, and I’m a Mom, so I’m back to work too!

Before I left yesterday I thanked Christy for allowing me the chance to have 3 days without changing any diapers. I love her.

On Saturday I walked/ran (almost) 8 miles – MOSTLY walked – with Thea at my side and the conversation was so great that the 2 hours and 20 minutes went by way faster than I thought. All the while the other girls training for the 1/2 marathon in San Diego in June, did their training. It was so cool.

Later that afternoon as we sat basking in THIS view…


…Thea said, “I don’t remember the last time I just sat in a chair.” Me neither girl, but now we do!

These are some fabulous women that I could never say enough about.

Back Row: Kirsten, Tiffany, Me, Amanda
Front Row: Thea, Heather, Lisa, Christy

I’m so glad that I got to join them this weekend…

While gone I realized that I’ve somehow injured my Achilles tendon on my right foot. I’m just upset because after reading about it I came to the conclusion I need to rest it before I keep pushing myself. Phooey.

But that’s okay, once it’s better I’ll get back to running and I know I’ll have the support I need from this wonderful community I am part of. And that is so wonderful, just like my weekend was…

    8 mile! WHOO! That’s a long long way, good job. However, that could be why your achilles are sore 🙂 Definitely rest it up and make sure you stretch it good before and after you run or walk.

    Glad you had a nice weekend, it sounds like a fantastic bunch of ladies!

    While we have seen each other quite often since we met, it is very rare that we get to hang out without our children around. I got to see parts of you that I didn’t even know existed….OK, that sounds all kinds of wrong-HA! I love love love your humor, and your love for wine, and your laugh. You are awesome!

    That must have been so much fun – I hope one day I can get to do something like that and meet up with some of my blogging friends.

    Awesome. I can’t remember the last time I just sat in chair either. I guess I need a weekend too 🙂 WTG Momma! You’ll be back at it in no time.

    Beautiful ladies! I’m kind of crazy jealous, but I’ll survive. Bummer on the injury–take care of it so you don’t do more damage. Of course we’ll continue cheering you on. 🙂

    I saw somewhere (on your other blog maybe?) a mention of Papasitos…oh, I miss Papasitos. When I was pregnant I was almost desperate enough to take a weekend trip to Houston…

    It looks like a wonderful time with wonderful people!

    The feeling was definitely mutual on the 8 miles, friend. We kicked that 8 miles ASS!!

    I loved meeting you!! I miss you!
