I am so proud of TJ!
For training in 0 degrees, running at midnight and never giving up.
He had a great run and he didn't even need a couple days to say if he would do one again...it was like 20 min after.
The weather was beautiful, I just wish the kids would have been able to enjoy it.
They were all feeling pretty crappy.
Kasen threw up on the way down all over himself and the car seat.
He couldn't stop coughing and I couldn't wipe his nose fast enough.
We got in late that night.
We planned on staying at the house but when Tj talked to his dad on the phone on the way down and found out it was being remodeled and that half the house was torn up (not cool for a curious toddler). We would all have to sleep in the tiny wood floor room. Not enough room for a pack n play and all the girls on the floor.
We stayed in a hotel last min.
Tj took the kids out to eat at 9:30pm with his friends who he was running with. I stayed to put Kasen to sleep in a quiet room.
By the time they got home and into bed it was after 10.
Tallie and Kasen coughed all night. My back was so sore and I couldn't get warm.
Everyone was awake at 6:00am because of Kasen crying. It was nice the race didn't start until 9Am. I had to drop Tj off at 8 and so after I took TJs friends daughter with us (so she didn't have to hang out solo) to breakfast. While standing in line at Mcdonald's, Kasen threw up all over me and him. I cleaned up and still ordered food because the kids were starving. Everyone kept starring at me because I had 5 kids with me. One being 12 and everyone thought they were all mine, which wasn't bad, it was just that this girl was my height and looks older.
I found the closest store that was open, Kmart, since Kasen was out of clothes. I bought some ugly clothes (thats all they had) and then went back to the hotel to change myself. Then we headed back to the finish line to wait for TJ. I found one of the guys wife and her twins right away so it was nice to chat while we waited.
After we all went to lunch. I really like the people TJ works with and I'm hoping that we all hang out some time. Jamie and Kendall are really fun people and easy to talk to.
We thought we might hang around and play at the park but the kids were all freezing (it was 55 degrees, summer compared to 25) which is how I knew they weren't feeling well. Tallie hadn't eaten all day and Lexi's throat was raw.
We drove home right after lunch.
Since we have been home, Tallie has been on the couch crying with a stomach ache and headache and body aches.
Chloe seems to be okay and isn't sick and will prob still go to church tomorrow with TJ. We don't want her to miss a beat with primary since she is now going!!
TJ got my fuel fired for racing, which I so needed. I can't wait for race season!!
It's almost as fun to watch someone you love cross the finish line as it is to cross it yourself.
Especially because you know the emotions that go with accomplishing something hard.
