Computer working again!

Some of you know that our computer decided to go quits again all last week. I was going through withdrawals for about the first two days even though Ryan would bring his work one home and I could log on but after that I really like the fact of not having one around. I would think about things and then forget about them because I could not just jump onto the computer! Now that it is back I feel like I have so much to do!
I guess we really aren't that exciting. We have been super busy with running, well, I have been. Ryan is still injured and it doesn't help that he waits a week then goes and runs 3 miles in 25 minutes. I know that doesn't sound too fast but it was for me as I was pushing 60 pounds worth of kids! Anyways, he is back to being injured and I am still on track for running this half marathon. I was really excited for it about 4 weeks ago when I could say it was 8 weeks away but now that it is getting closer I think I am getting nervous for it. Natalie, Sarah, and I all ran 11 miles this last Saturday not together but throughout the day we all ran it at some time so we are all on track for this training schedule we have been doing and it is really fun having this in common. I am not speaking for them but I am kind of excited to have my life back in the evenings and not be running! That is the only time I can go and especially with the mileage getting up there during the week the time goes even faster!
I hope Ryan sticks with the training and maybe will do the half marathon in June in Seattle, maybe we will do it together! I do have to say when it comes to losing weight it is not fair men vs. women. I have been training for a couple weeks longer than Ryan and even with him being injured he still lost about 10 pounds and me NOTHING! I do have to admit my body has changed I really do feel like I am in better shape and my clothes fit a little better but overall the scale says NO! Seriously not fair but I love that he has lost weight and so quickly! I think being pregnant three times now is enough weight gaining and losing for me!
I hope everyone else that is training for a half marathon is doing great and getting excited! I expect updates on blogs!

Yes I am having fun when I'm not sick and that is great that Ryan has been losing weight that is just typical of guys though. We just look at ice cream and we gain two lbs and we haven't even tasted it:) I am really excited to do this half marathon and hope that it is the start of many more in the future.

So I am doing the Couch to 5K program (nothing compared to a half marathon) but good for me since I've never really ran before. Anyway I am eating the same as before and the scale isn't changing. It's frustrating huh! I hope I can keep it up like you are. Way to go!

I think girls that have produced offspring should have bodies that automatically go back to pre prego and baby weight!!At least that's what it will be in my world ;) I know it's a bummer that guys loose it faster on the scale but you do have to think about the fact that muscle weights more than fat so you're probably burning fat and gaining a ton of muscle since you are running like crazy so I hope that makes you feel better :) Never look at the scale,just watch as the clothes fit better!! :) Great job for keeping up with it!! I hope Ryan's injury gets better!! Glad your computer is up and running too!

Remember the #'s don't mean anything...if you can't move...(injured or otherwise)

Working on Health and achieving your goal of getting back into your running is HUGE!!

I'm excited for you...and the other Frank Girls...Hope you all do well
