Category Archives: Guest Post On the 4th of July, I woke up to this cute baby. Then my friend Leonne and I ran this 5k downtown. There a couple of things about this picture that really make me laugh. I love how my face looks all serious like I am finishing a marathon or something, when no, I am […] July 11, 2011 - 7:10 am
You rock Kara! Great job on the race. July 11, 2011 - 8:06 am
Good job Emma! I am impressed that you do videos while juggling 3 kids. You must be very self disciplined. I feel like I want to leave the house and take a break when I exercise, but it is smart to find time during the day!! Oh man, I still like my desserts. I am definitely going to have to break these bad habits before I am done nursing, because I have a feeling that I will gain weight once I’m done if I don’t make some changes. July 11, 2011 - 9:39 am
I’ll have to admit that I’m a little jealous that 5ks are “quick and easy” for you, lol. That 4th of July 5k was my first 5k ever…I thought I might have recognized you speeding past me at some point My goal right now is to keep running, and to not feel like 3.1 miles is the equivalent of a marathon. In the first couple days after having my son without drugs, I was convinced I could do ANYTHING! I just try to remember that “on-top-of-the-world-I-can-do-anything” feeling when I’m running to keep me going. Even a half-marathon seems like such a lofty goal at this point, but I’d love to accomplish that someday! July 11, 2011 - 10:32 am
Oh, I still eat desserts, just not chocolate milkshakes. I like the Wal-Mart ice cream sandwiches in peanut butter. I have to do the individual servings on desserts otherwise I am eating a whole pint of Ben and Jerry’s. July 11, 2011 - 3:05 pm

I like 5Ks too, but I don’t like how they really end up being on ly 25 minutes of exercise! 10k’s might be my favorite. Half-marathons are crazy hard. I still say I’ll do a marathon someday, but it probably really would kill me. July 11, 2011 - 8:01 pm
Right now I weight train for about 30 minutes a day (carrying kids on my front or back), cardio for about an hour (rushing up and down the stairs to get out the door on time, or just to get out the door with everyone halfway decent), and if I’m lucky I get to go for a walk once a week. I’m trying to run once a week – lofty goal I know. I wish I could find/make time to exercise, but seriously, caring for 3 kids, as you know, is a lot of physical activity and draining all in itself. I can run a 5k way easier after having a baby and not having run for 9+ months than I could when I was in high school (I guess I was a sad high schooler), Although it’s not “exercise” it sure does help to keep me physically fit, and I mean that. So all of you moms can add “I’m a mom 24/7″ to your exercise list! July 11, 2011 - 8:11 pm
Haha Kara, I don’t know you except through blogging and our five minute conversation, but I’m sure you are just as “in shape and cool” as you sound. I mean, an 8.5 minute pace is awesome in my opinion (especially post-baby), I’m happy if I can get 10 minutes! On a side note, I’m pretty sure that is my nephew with the white/red/navy shorts on the far right of your race pic, I just noticed it…I remember him running about an 8.5 minute pace so that would make sense July 11, 2011 - 9:10 pm

Kara, I ran that race too! I saw you but didn’t get a chance to say hi. You’re right – there were some crazy speedy little kids in that race. I barely struggled past a few 11- year olds near the finish who were running close to a 7:30 minute mile. At the finish!!! I was shocked. That was a fun race though…my first 5k! I hope to run into you at more 5k’s this summer! July 13, 2011 - 7:19 pm
Wait Rachel, you ran a 7:30 mile pace in your first 5K???? Ha… if so, you will be passing me a lot in races. Let me know of other local races that you hear about. I would be up for a 10k as well! July 13, 2011 - 10:28 pm
The next one I’m running is the Out to the Ballgame 5k on 7/27. Keith ran it last year and it’s a lot of fun! You get free admission to the Knights game if you run, and everybody brings their family. You should try to come…it would be fun to see you. July 13, 2011 - 10:29 pm
