Nielson Family Memories: I finally did it!!

I finally did it!!

I have been wanting to run the mini marathon here in Indianapolis since we started dental school, but I have always been a chicken and never followed through. I can't say I love running but I do like to work out, so I told myself this was the year and I couldn't chicken out. I have been pregnant for the past couple of years so that was my big excuse, but this year I decided to do it since we will be leaving in May. I still can't believe our time in dental school is really almost over. I am going to miss the people here sooooo much, and I have to admit I'm a little nervous to move on to real life. The people out here have made this experience so great and I'm such a better person for knowing all of them. Anyways, I hope I can really run 13 miles, but I figure even if I walk some of it I am still accomplishing something I've always wanted to do. Wish me luck!!

NAT said...: Hey! That's awesome! I'm proud of you. I did a 5k on Thanksgiving day and thought I would die, but I think you work out a lot more often than I do, so I'm sure you'll do great. :)

To me, running is mostly a mental thing. If you can get some great music and zone out, you should be good. There's some advice from a non-expert.

Again, that's awesome! Good luck!; November 30, 2007 at 2:08 PM

Lexi's Funny Moments

9/15/08- Lexi asked Cody if he had to go to work, and he said yes. He asked her why daddy has to work and she said, "because it takes a lot of money."
9/21/08-Lexi had her pretend cell phone out, when all of the sudden I hear her say "oh no I missed a call."
10/15/08-Lexi opened our front door and said "mommy, it smells like elephants out here." It did smell like cow poop outside pretty bad. I had to laugh.
10/23/08- Lexi is playing with her mr. potato head elmo doll. She puts on the mustache and says, "look mommy and daddy, he has a musmache." We couldn't stop laughing.
10/24/08-Lately when Lexi can't get Cody's attention she will first try daddy, and then she will say "hey Cody." She is getting pretty smart!
11/13/08-I asked Lexi if she wanted to go to preschool one day and she said "no, I just want to stay at home with you mommy."
11/13/08- Every night Lexi tells us the sprinkler is bothering her. Cody has to get up on her bed talk to the sprinkler on her ceiling and tell it to be nice so Lexi can go to sleep.
11/13/08-The other day Lexi wasn't up from her nap yet and Trey went to her door and layed by it. Whenever she isn't up he always goes over to her door and starts tapping on it.
