Both my boys have been sick these past 2 weeks. Jack had what we thought was strep, but turned out to be a "viral sore throat". It's accompanied by both eyes being completely crusted over every morning and throughout the day. Great. Jack is better but now Tate has it. There's nothing sadder than a poor, defenseless baby who's eyes are unable to open because of all the "stuff" on them. Luckily, he likes showers. Poor little guy. Jack then got a little 24 flu bug and was throwing up. (so gross..we just threw his pillow away!)
I had some dissapointment recently as well. My "Hippie Chick Half" that I ALREADY BOUGHT TICKETS TO filled up in 8 hours! The tickets went on sale at 12:01 am on a Saturday and by 8 a.m. (7 a.m. Alaska time) the race was full. Arrrghghghgh.. Who'd have thought?! If I had known the race filled up that quickly I would have stayed up or set my alarm. So frustrating. So, I found another run- "The lake Run" on Lake Oswego. It's a 12k and will be the perfect pre-cursor to the half marathon I will now be doing in June up here in Alaska.
The builder FINALLY started my parent's cabin yesterday. We were hoping it'd be done by now but he's of course running behind. I can't wait to just "get out"- I think I'm going to do some cross-country skiing this year and maybe even try snow-shoeing?
What do YOU do to pass the winter time??

Poor guys! There really is nothing worse than a sick baby. Sorry about your race too.
so sorry about your boys. Sickness is going around our town.
what a bummer about your race. YOu can run with me next OCT! it will be here in washington.
UUUGGHH!! I hate it when my kids get sick...esp when it feels like they are just passing it back and forth between the two!
That REALLY DOES suck about your race! So not fair....I think they should just let everyone run who wants to...what's the harm?!?
As far as winter activities...can't say I'm too much help...ummm...Tivo and hot chocolate???
I've always loved cross-country skiing and have wanted to try snowshoeing too. But not in this frigid weather!!! Sorry the kids have been sick--that's the worst:( Hope everyone's healthy again soon!!!!
