We are heading into another season and my dad it still around. Yay!!!
I've had a really tough spring and summer trying to deal with everything. The thing that put me over the edge was an abscess in the roof of my mouth. This is so embarrassing, the root of my tooth cracked. I didn't want to go to the dentist because the tooth that hurt has already had a root canal. It's a dead tooth!!! Unfortunately, it ended up with a pretty big infection due to my lack of desire to head to the dentist.
I finally decided to have it looked at when I couldn't get out of bed and was having multiple melt downs over really really dumb things. This is the part that I hate. They pulled my tooth, not like they pull your kids teeth though. I went in thinking it was going to be quick and relatively painless. Not...oral surgery is what the take home paper work stated. I came back to my fabulous friend's house to pick up my babe and ended up camping on her couch for a few hours while she cancelled my Thursday afternoon commitments. Love you Laura, thanks for taking care of me.
Now that my mouth has finally healed and I actually feel like a human being again, I can enjoy my favorite season of the year. I love this time of year. The colors, the smell, the leaves to play in, the cool air and of course, PUMPKIN PIE!!!
I love food, therefore I run:) I'm signing up for the City Creek Cold Turkey Run so I can eat my Thanksgiving meal guilt free. Maybe I'll even have two pieces of pie. (I'm not going to make it through the holidays without gaining at least 10 lbs this year)
Running puts everything back into perspective. First of all it rids me of excessive energy so I can sit still. It helps me sit through practices and homework for starters. Seriously, Calvin is just like me in so many ways. I know this is why we struggle together. I also planned my volleyball practice for the YW during my last run which helped it go by really fast. So, I'll be lacing up and heading out again in the morning. If you see me killing over and gasping for air, please, please don't honk. I seriously hate that;). Happy Running!!

You are so welcome. Come and camp out on my couch anytime. What an example you are. You go girl. I really need to follow that example and get myself going. Oh, and I'll try to remember about the honking thing. Happy Running to you!
I miss you so much!!! I understand about the tooth thing. I have a few problems brewing right now that I'm ignoring. :(
Pretty soon, it might be me blogging about my MANY dentist experiences. I'm so jealous you run, you have always been an inspiration.
Oh Kim I just love you! I am glad that you got the tooth situation sorted out. I am sorry you were suffering. I had no idea! I am excited to read upcoming posts on your run! :)
Hey Andee, you should run the cold turkey with me.
That's funny Bonnie, you've always been an inspiration to me. I miss you too.
I hate your tooth. :)
You're always amazing me, running, being a fabulous mom, volunteering for everything under the sun and still finding time to be a good friend to everyone. You deserve a freakin huge medal! And turkey dinner. :)
I am so glad that your dad is still around and I hope and pray that he´ll be for some more seasons. I hope he feels ok right now. You are soo good in running. Honestly if I would live close to you I´d start running just to join you but good thing I am that far away (the only good thing about that) so I don´t need to. I rather go swimming and biking. Yeah for surviving the tooth thing and another yeah for stepping into your favorite season. Enjoy much of it and tell me what you are up to. Love ya, K.
when/where is the cold turkey marathon? :)
Andrea-It's a 6k up city creek canyon. It starts at the state capital building, run down into city creek canyon, turn around and head back to memory grove. You can sign up online or in person at the salt lake running co. on highland dr and 3100-ish south. Let me know if you sign up.
WHOOT! Glad to have you back girlie!! I've been dying for a running partner!
Sorry to hear about your oral surgery, what a bummer.
i love me some good pumpkin pie! maybe i should run that race with you!!! let me look more into it and i'll let you know!
You are amazing! I just eat the pie without the run and wallow in my guilt. I've been thinking about you for weeks now...meaning to call...meaning to stop by. I'm sorry I've been such a crappy friend and haven't followed those promptings. For what it's worth, I've been thinking about you and your dad.
(At least you waved when I saw you running the other day - even though I did not honk!)
