Dear Jane,

 

Last Sunday was your birthday, and in true middle child fashion, I haven’t had a minute to write a birthday post for you.  You don’t know that, of course, because you don’t read this blog, but hopefully this letter (read in the blog book in years to come), even two days late, will give you less fodder for the therapist…

Jane, you have been radiating love since the day you were born. In your baby blessing, Heavenly Father blessed you with an ability to make people feel loved and to show them the way to Christ through that love.  People are drawn to you and you have lots of friends, children and adults alike.

 

It’s been fun this year to watch you excel in school…sometimes middle children’s abilities go slightly under-noticed, but this year (with your amazing math abilities and 100% spelling test and 4th grade reading level) you made sure we didn’t miss what you could do!  You’ve loved school and made lots of friends and, even if the mornings have a few tears, you come home from school in a happy mood.

Those tears are just evidence of a personality that exudes emotion.  You laugh louder, and more often, than you cry and we love to include you in an activity, a movie or a joke, because we know you’ll always LOVE it.  You’ve always been a chatter box and hope you never stop sharing with us everything that goes on in your life.

You are truly beautiful on the outside (how fun!) but you are (more importantly) a kind and determined person on the inside, with a budding testimony of Christ’s Restored Gospel.  We are very proud of you.

Thank you for coming to our home.  Even though you are in the middle, we need you!  You aren’t forgotten and any struggles that come from having older siblings that make you think you don’t measure up, or younger siblings that are frustrating, are good for you and will help you become the person you should be.  We love our Janey-cakes more than anything!

Love,

Mom

Marathon Details

(Sorry, but it was a big deal for me, so this is stuff I don’t want to forget).

The training:

It surprised me to realize that most of “A Marathon” is the training.  You sacrifice a lot to just train for the marathon.  I ran 20-35 miles a week for 16 weeks.  (No, Tammy, no weight loss—I put on a few pounds, but so did the rest of my training friends, so I didn’t feel too lame.)  I loved my Less-Is-More training plan and will use it again.  I also realized by the time I did my first 20 miler that I had trained my body to do that.  It wasn’t scary or hard, because I was so thoroughly prepared, physically and mentally.

The night before:

We met to pick up our race packets and carb-load at Olive Garden.  I think 80% of our conversation was about the marathon.  We started annoying even ourselves.

I had a little meltdown the night before (I think nerves finally caught up with me) when I couldn’t find my banana and my Glide (a lubricant that prevents chafing).  I was in tears so Ryan went and got the banana and I woke up Jane (cleaned out the car and loser of the Glide) and she found it for me.

The morning of:

I slept all right during the night and because we have such an early sunrise around here, I was up and getting ready at 5:00 am.  I ate a banana (phew!) and a yogurt and drank a few cups of water.  I put on the exact same outfit I’d done my last 6 runs in and we started picking up the marathoners.

My goal:

To finish in under 4 hours and 15 minutes—roughly a 9:40 minute mile pace.  This was the pace I’d consistently trained at.

The start:

I had let everyone know that I wanted to run my own race—I wanted to see exactly how fast I could go all by myself.  I was surprised with my fast starting pace (8:45), but decided to just run as long as it felt good. 

It felt good for a long time.  I realized at about mile 8 that I could actually do the marathon in under 4 hours, because I was feeling that good.  I realized I’d have to make a decision:  take it easy and have a fun marathon or push hard and see what my body would do.  I chose option 2. 

The cheering squad:

Ryan and the other husbands and all our kids were at about 5 points along the course with signs and cheers.  It was such a thrill to have them there!

The good miles:

Miles 6-15 felt really good.  I had my music on and it was a gorgeous day and we were running by the river.  I felt strong and fast.

The bad miles:

Anything after 18.  I was surprised by how difficult it started to be.  I’d run a 22 miler pre-race and it hadn’t been hard (but that had been at a 10 minute mile pace).  I was pushing myself really hard and my legs were feeling it.  I had no injuries or pain ( no out-of-the-ordinary-for-running-for-3 -hours pain, at least), but my thighs just hadn’t worked that hard—EVER. 

I got through them with the help of music, thoughts of people I know who have toughed out real life challenges and a half mile pep talk from Ryan (he ran alongside for a while).

The finish:

A little anti-climactic, I must say.  I realized at mile 23 that I couldn’t quite do a sub-4 marathon time, unless I pushed out 9 minute miles, and I just didn’t have it in me.  I gave myself permission to NOT feel bad about that (hello, I still beat my personal goal by 13 minutes) and just finished at whatever pace I could muster. 

Ryan had trouble parking and didn’t get there in time for the finish, but that was TOTALLY okay, as he’d been there at mile 7, 11, 14, 18, and 21.  There were no cheers as I crossed the line, but I was so glad to be done, I didn’t really mind.  I felt good about my time, for sure.

The recovery:

Brutal!  I could barely walk (no exaggeration) Saturday and Sunday and was super sore Monday and Tuesday as well as extra exhausted.  I ran 2-3 miles today and I felt like I had rocks for legs! I need to figure out how to recover better next time.

Next time?

Totally.  I’m going to take a break for the rest of the year, but I’m thinking of doing this one again or (more probably) one of the fall Utah races.  Anyone up for doing it with me?

What I gained:

Deeper friendships.

A greater appreciation for a husband that not only supports but has been there.  He has said the sweetest things and put up with all my Me-ness for the last week.

 

More muscles for sure.

That cleansing, cathartic, endorphin driven high that only comes from 10+ mile runs.  They are addicting.

An understanding that you can absolutely make your body do almost anything you ask it to.  That feels so empowering.

Yay for me!

DENİZ VE YAT TEMALI 1 YAŞ DOĞUM GÜNÜ PASTASI

Minik prens Deniz in 1. yaş doğum günü pastasını ismi ile uyumlu olarak deniz temalı hazırladım.

Just Wait Until Spring

Just for the record:

between April and November…the place I live is the most BEAUTIFUL place in the country.

 

We live in a suburb of Spokane and it’s nestled in the crook of green mountains.  There are tulips and blossoms and huge lilac bushes all over our little carefully planned community. 

There are bike paths and one school and an LDS church with a huge white steeple; it’s truly picturesque. 

We have a lake that, if you go up a little into the mountains and look down, has brought tears to my eyes due to it’s breathtaking color: pink trees, blue sparkling water, yellow flowering bushes, big puffy white clouds. 

When I’m bike riding with my kids or running or walking late at night with a friend, sometimes I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to live here. 

(p.s.  these photos are, OF COURSE , not by me and my lame camera skills.  My friend Ashley, blog here, has allowed me to copy and paste her awesome photographs of our area for this post.)
