I'm back (I think...)

Thanks to Pretty Daisy, I now have a picture in my profile and a new resolve to blog. I am sure it still won't be very often, but I think it would be good for me to write the things I am going through. Right now I am focused on running and cleaning. (Oh, and being a good mom, too. :-)) The Newport Marathon filled up, so Suzie and I are running the Ogden Marathon on May 6th. It is less than 6 weeks away and I can't wait to FINALLY get rid of my personal "best" marathon time of 5:11. Yes, I am proud I finished, and I should be happy with that, but I still want to prove I can "run" a marathon instead of walk, run, and cry through one. The cleaning part of my focus is to finally have a system that works. If you have spent any time with me, you know that Mondays are laundry day and that is pretty much all I have figured out in the way of housekeeping. I am trying to move that mode of thinking into the other areas of the house. So far it is going well. I will keep you posted. Well, I better get going.
