Lazy Saturday

As I type this, it's 9:45am, and I'm still in my pajamas.  The kids are still asleep, so it is very quiet here.  Sam and Harry went to Beaufort to work on my sister's heater and get a few things from storage over there.  Soon I will be getting Sammy and Amanda up.  Sammy has some schoolwork to get caught up on, so he can't sleep all day, even though I know he would love it!

I have decided I'm going to run the Myrtle Beach Marathon in February!  My "official training" starts on Monday, the 31st.  Lately I've been "training for my training" if that makes any sense!  The requirements are that you have been running consistently for 1-2 months and can run 30 minutes without stopping.  Right now I'm up to 5 miles, so I'm good to go.  My problem now is that there is no flat ground around where I live.  No matter what direction I go from my house, it's hilly in every direction.  My legs and lungs don't like the hills, but I suppose I'll get used to them.  Come race day, I'll have an advantage on the flat course!

Since I really don't have anything important to say, I'll leave you with a couple pictures of Amanda and her sweet friend, and a picture of me and my sweet friend, who happens to be Amanda's friend's mother.  Got it?
