Sean's Run From Autism

Great race! Mom and I did really well. I finished 30th and she finished 41st! It was an overcast day, but perfect for running. Darren was a great uncle (once again) and took Emi to watch Mom & I run. She really enjoyed the park and watching the roller coaster. I love watching these events grow with the awareness of Autism and bringing people together for this important cause. It is always touching to me. Here are a few pics from the day..

Stress

Today was a very exhausting day. I was overwhelmed, scared, excited, nervous to know the next steps in my life. I realize that I have to be positive and take things one at a time, but sometimes I wonder if I am juggling too much. I am ready for a week where something major doesn't happen in my family. A week for us to all come together and just have a good year. This recession has really hurt my family and friends and I am ready for things to turn around. The stress is getting to me. I have to know that I have my health and my family near me and to know that everyday makes it easier to go though every thing together. We have defiantly pulled each other through a lot lately.

I did have a great weekend with my family for Easter. I had my cousin and aunt come up from San Fran and that was great. We got to cook, drink, and have some fun laughs together. Matt is really growing up and I can't believe that he is 12 now. I think that he really enjoyed Portland and driving around looking at all of the beautiful places in this state. It was really great to have them up here for a long weekend.

Workout Week 3.30.09

What a busy week I had last week. I had several things to get accomplished with a couple interviews in between. It is a great feeling to know that things are slowing starting to fall into place. I have nothing but great feelings about what this year is going to bring for me. Darren and I have some exciting things happening. He has been such a great support for me.

I didn't get to do many long runs last week. Due to my schedule and my knee, I kept it on the easy side. Next week is going to be rather busy as well with Easter and family coming, but I do intend on taking full advantage of the gorgeous weather we are going to have at the beginning of the week. Darren was in bed sick with bronchitis last week and he definitely slowed down. I am just hoping that it doesn't get me down. The spring is always my worse time for allergies and sniffles.
