i went to the chiropractor for my follow up visit to discuss the treatment plan, and what did they tell me? so i've had some whiplash in the past. ok, i could have guessed that, but they aso told me my neck curves the wrong way. like instead of it looking like ( it looks like ). real weird. now that combined with the drs visit yesterday, i am doing good. let me tell you what. not sure i am going to go back and get my neck straightened out.

44 days and going strong
i still have the sore throat, but at least i now know i am not crazy. i went to the ear nose and throat doctor today. he was the same one that took the fish bone out when i was 8 week pregnant with sirus. since i had a history with him i ficured it might be nice to go see him since the normal doctor i had already seen twice suggested i go see a specialist. well, the ear nose throat doctor seemed bored with my case, but he gave me nasal spray, said it looked like some chronic tonsilitus and if its not better in 10 days give him a call back. he did though say the glands are still enlarged, there is still residue in my throat and i am having some ustacian malfunction or something of that sort. i went on to tell him about my right ear hearing issue and he suggested i go to a hearing doctor, cuz ya know, sometimes apparently when you lose hearing in one ear and not the other it can be caused by a tumor in there, but really its not big deal and i should only go if it really bothers me. what is that?? yeah, and if i have to go back in 10 days he'll talk to me about taking out the tonsils. sweet. not sure how i feel about all of this. lets hope it goes away after i squirt steriods up my scnoz for 10 days.
i didn't get into the sf women's marathon that allows men to enter and race. that bums me out a little, but yeah, since everyone else was doing the1/2 anyway, i guess it might be for the best. maybe i will do the ghetto version and run the 13.1 on that day at home and still get my tiffany's necklace mailed to me.
i entered seamus in her first triathlon. its may 31 after my 2nd triathlon of the season. yikes! i asked sirus if he would like to do a triathlon to which he replied "nnnnope" but then i asked him if he would like to come watch he said "yyyyyup".
i had every intention of riding my bike home from work yesterday. so much so that i got onto the bike and 2 miles into the ride when i got hit by a total hail storm. so i turned around, packed it up and drove home. i felt a little wimpy. so today i ran on the treadmill for 7 miles. there has been weird drama in the gym at work, and my 7 miles was more of me being stubborn then actually wanting to run for an hour looking at the parking lot. the best part of it though was when the construction guys came driving by in their truck, slowed way down and all turned and watched as they drove past. the guy in the back seat was even craning his neck backwards after they had passed. did they not realize that i could see them? eric says they don't care. but i was wearing my new short shorts which i am thinking i like. they felt like they had become possibly obscene duringt he jaunt but in fact they did not and they were in perfect place, so i was pretty happy about that.
work is exhausting and it won't likely get better until september.
but i get to go to berkely next week for LUNA chix so that is exciting. and then on the 15th something exciting might happen! stay tuned for an update!

st pats dash
so this race went quite well i must say! we ran it in 2006 when sirus was itty bitty and he and seamus were in the stroller.
we were untimed but i think we did it in 33 minutes. i can't remember in 1998 but i am looking for the results.
this year i did a little warm up. they were almost 20 minutes late in getting the race going. they kept telling people to get off the front line if they couldn't hold a sub 6 minute pace and they kept saying that they would come down there and ask people individually if they didn't seed themselves properly. i found this interesting. then the one time, they said that the front line was for all the "good" people, which i thought was an interesting way to put it. then the race was off. it was chilly but i had taken some layers off which i am glad that i did. the first mile was more uphill then i expected or remembered. it wasn't hilly by any means, just not necessarily flat. i got to the 2 mile mark in 13:51 which for me is pretty darn fast, thats a 6:55 pace. I didn't feel like i was going that fast, but i guess i was. either that or their sign was off. they didn't have a 3 mile mark, but i remember where it was on the map aproximately. i had slowed down quite a bit. my lungs weren't hurting, they just weren't feeling like they were able to expand, as though my sports bra was 10 times too tight. i had a little panic and thought about walking but knew that at this point stopping to walk would be more uncomfortable then just slowing down a little bit. once off the viaduct, it was down and around the block. i didn't have it in me to sprint. then i saw eric and the kids and i kept running at least. i tried to pick it up, but couldn't i could see the clock, and the time on my watch when i finished was 25:20. i couldn't remember if that was about the time i was expecting to come in or hoping to come in. but i was happy. it meant that i did the last 1.5miles in 11:29, or a 7:39 pace. but, although all the borchures say nearly 3.5, the map says 3.58, so that would put that last 1.5 at 7:16. I didn't feel like i had dropped that much slower, but who knows. what i do know is that in a matter of just a minute or two once done i felt recovered and was able to walk 4 blocks carrying a 40+ pound seamus. all in all the pace of this race was faster then the seafair torchlight run so i was pretty hawppy about that. results have me at 25:38 but I am pretty sure that is gun time still and i am going to stick with my watch time. my watch couldn't be off by that far. results do have me 18th in my agegroup out of 753, and 110 out of 4382 womens. not too bad!

he bought her a see through dress
dude, its march 14 and i am STILL sick. sort of. i have a sore throat still. it never went away despite the antibiotics. this was interesting to me because i talked to a guy at work who apparently has an ear infection, too and still has it despite being on his second round of antibiotics. maybe its more concerning then interesting? the doctor said he will send me to the ear nose throat doctor if its still there in two weeks.
but i am able to run and able to swim. i got some ear plugs for swimming and i LOVE them. on wednesday i saw further then i have ever gone before, both distance and time, which i was pretty excited about. i was by no means any faster, just further. it was still pretty exciting.
i run on the treadmill at work a lot. i like to either go at lunch or lately at the end of the day. the treadmill faces the window so i can look outside at the construction site accross the way and i watch as the IT guys go outside to smoke. they go out there and walk around. eric says they are probably going out there to check me out while i run. i think that is not the case. while i am long and lean, i do not look like elle mcpherson. there is nothing bouncing in slow motion while i run, so i am pretty sure no one is checking me out. plus i sweat a lot and there is no fan.
i run fast on the treadmill. despite the mph or pace on it, i am going fast nd i work hard. i always feel quite accomplished when i am done.
sunday i will run the saint patrick's day dash. hooray! i ran in 1998 and then in 2006. this year will be the year! it is a different coarse this time, but not too different. could be exciting!!

its gthe first day of march and i am STILL sick. the first morning i woke up in florida i had a sore throat. and i still have it. thursday i flew from florida to chicago and was pretty sure i was bleeding out my ears on the plane for 3 and a 1/2 hours. i was on the verge of a total breakdown and wasn't going to get on my next flight, but i went and got some sudafed and got back on for the next 4 hour leg... i was miserable. alas, i made it back to seattle, with no bleeding ears but i could hear pretty much nothing.
i gave a presentation on tuesday which was fun since i couldn't hear anything and the cold turned into a total snot mess all over the place. wednesday i went to the doctor and its good that i did. i have an ear infection - shocking!! so the doctor put me on some antibiotics.
friday, i was still sick as a dog but had to give another presentation, all about ASSO, which went pretty well. today, still sick. when will the antibiotics kick in?
we are watching beowulf.
and we will go for a family bike ride tomorrow. i went and got fitted for my new bike on tuesday in all my sickness... it will be fun i hope!!

one last two cents
and then i off to go to sleep.
i am on the 11th floor of the hotel. i am so high up that there isn't another floor above me. when i got into the elevator i noticed the elevator inspection certificate. i'm not all OCD about elevator inspection, but i do tend to pay attention to them as they often times are expired. this certificate stood out because in the upper right hand corner of it there was a logo for "Take the Stairs".
So, the question is: is this really a a logo, or was it the elevator inspector's recommendation based on the inspection?

i'm at a confernce today
and you will never guess who else is here:
1 guy that xtie used to work with
2 guys and 1 girl that i used to work with
1 guy who used to work with a guy i used to work with
i guy who currently works with a guy and a girl i used to work with
1 guy who sold us our volvo.
yes, that last one is the weirdest if i might say. real wierd. he looks so familiar and it was killing me. so i asked him and we figured it out.
i also saw what may be been one, but might have actually been 2 or even more dolphins.
florida here is weird and i don't know if i like it. its very dark out. i went out this morning with good intentions of going running but it was totally black out and they couldn't tell me when sunrise might be so i went to the hot, humid gym. that was ok i guess.
then i went to the executive portion of the conference and didn't say one word. not because i didn't try, but because no one would let me. then when they were trying to get volunteers to present to the big group what all we discussed someone said, "who hasn't said anything all day" and I could feel their eyes on me. but i tried to contribute. its weird this time. i had a lot of fun and felt like i fit in at the last one, but this one, not so much. plus its about 8 degrees in the hotel and i had a headache all day and i woke up with a sore throat.
i hope i feel betta tomorra....
i get to be on a conference call with people in seattle, new york, florida (that's me!), london and dubai tomorrow. my boss sent me an email telling me to make sure i don't get steamrolled. i think the last time i was steamrolled i was in gradeschool, although it could have been last week. i don;t know any more, but that is kind of funny.

love 'em or leave 'em
the kids did a kid's race at greenlake today. it was part of a larger 5k going on there which we thot was kind of silly. the kids ran an out and back course. seamus ran on her own but eric kept sirus company which i guess was good because eric said sirus cried the entire time because of all the cheering, which explained the tears while crossing the finish line. none the less, the kids did awesome and i was so proud of them!

the exciting news from a few weeks back
so i realized that i never said what the something exciting was that i alluded to the other week so now i will fill you in! i was accepted onto the LUNAChix Seattle Cycling team. 
i am totally excited about this. we just had our first team meeting today and i am ready to get this season started. there are many great things about LUNA and the LUNAChix, one being that this is a non-competative team. It is more about getting the LUNA message out there, doing good for the community, the Breast Cancer Fund, and getting women out on their bikes. We will have a booth at the Seattle Bike Expo in March, which will interestingly be held at the same location where Hilary supposedly spoke. We will also be hosting group rides and clinics throughout the summer, be at the LUNAFest and many other exciting things throughout the season. Also in Seattle is a LUNAChix Triathlon and Mountain Bike Team. One of the perks of being on the team is getting to try out cool new LUNA products and they are coming out with some good ones! I just went for a killer run (5.9 miles at a shocking 8:20 pace, i won't tell you how annoyed i am that i didn't go hat extra .1 mile...) and followed it up with a very tasty LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie!
Its been so long since i have been part of a team and i am totally excited to be part of such a great one!!

i am loving the treadmill
this week, and this week only i am loving the treadmill. ok, i go through stages where i love it. i don't think i ever have hated it although it about killed me last saturday but i am feelng so good right now it makes me happy.
swimming. goodness. i have a long way to go. although someone reminded me that i did swim for a mile just the other day, all in one swoop. not fast at all, but i have some time between now and my first oly this year to pick up a little speed and even more time before the lake stevens 1/2 to get the full distance. the pool where i go is weird. in the morning in the locker room are all these old ladies who talk about how they can't stand the new year because all of a sudden the pool gets crowded again and how like it better a month in because the crowds start to disappear. i don't understand why the old ladies stand under the dryers with their pants on but nothing else. its weird. they also get all weird in the pool. i am slow but i am not so slow that i can't be in the lane that i am in. i am the same speed as the old ladies unless they put their flippers on. then they are faster and they start giving attitude at the wall. i don't understand if they are going to wear flippers they should move over a lane and go into the lane that only has one other person instead of sitting in this sort of medium lane that is totally crowded with swimmers foot to head.
biking. i am looking at getting a bike fitting. i am totally stoked. and maybe some earo bars, too. i don't want to look like a tool or a barney but i do want to be relaxed and i do want to try to shave off 20 minutes (or more!) from my bike and 10 minutes from my run, so getting the right positioning and some extra training might do the trick. we will have to see! i am totally excited. oh, i will try to get some new pedals too but will keep my shoes. they still work fine.

will i caucus?
tonight starla and i went to go see hilary clinton down at pier 30. we were curious as to what these political rallies were all about and i had never gotten to see someone so important so up close before so it was a good opportunity. we parked about 839420736 miles away and walked along with all kinds of other people. we got there a little before 8 and wedged ourselves in so we could see the stage. there were all kinds of people there and all kinds of the media folks. hilary was late. she was so late that her soundtrack repeated, went through the whole rotation and started over again. we kept saying, 10 more minutes, 5 more minutes, ok 2 more. finally we decided to leave. we stopped to talk to some policemen guarding the door because they said once we left we couldn't come back in. they also told us that 5 people had fainted already while waiting. we weren't suprised. finally we left. an hour and 1/2 after she was supposed to be there. we caught a taxi and the driver was suprised to hear that the event hadn't even started. sure enough though, two blocks in the taxi and here comes the motorcade. this is what we saw on our attempt to experience politics:

bday fun
today was seamus's bday party! she won't be 4 until tuesday but today it was party time, complete with pin the tail on the donkey, a pinata and a hello kitty theme. seamus made the pinata herself with paper mache and a balloon. when we got to decorating it with tissue paper and streamers she got really upset because it didn't look like hello kitty. i didn't know it was supposed to otherwise we wouldn't have used green and pink paper. she wound up getting pretty upset, screaming "this doesn't look like hello kitty! this looks like ...(pause, pause, pause with her thinking lots and me having an overwhelming sense that my feelings were going to be very hurt), this looks like a BALL!" good save seamus! she was right, it did look like a ball. but in the end, once filled with candy and toys, it really didn't matter what it looked like and the party was quite fun!
sirus's first reaction to the american girl doll dressed in her punk outfit was one of almost fear, he backed off and made a kind of "whoa" sound. but he quickly regrouped and took a different approach to dealing with her. he had all of us in tears because we were laughing so hard.

best conversation ever
seamus crawled into bed and gave me hugs this morning. we had the following conversation:
"I love you mommy"
"I love you too, sweet heart."
"Why do you call me sweet heart?"
"Because that's what you are."
pause...
"I love you mommy sweet heart."
"I love you mommy"
"I love you too, sweet heart."
"Why do you call me sweet heart?"
"Because that's what you are."
pause...
"I love you mommy sweet heart."

horrible dream
sirus was an early riser this morning, the first of the kids to wake up. i stood in the kitchen and watched as he concentrated on eating his cereal. i love that little guy so much i can barely stand it some times. he just goes about his business, happy as can be. he has a funny new thing that he does when he is excited about something. he will rub his little hands together and his little eyes krinkle up while he asks about playing a video game. i have never seen anything like it. he is funny too, because when you look at a book with him he doesn't point to things, instead he lays his hand on the book with his palm facing upwards, almost as though he is presenting to you, much like vana white does or someone from the price is right. also, when he handles any one of the many remote controls we have, he will pick them up and set them on his hands, and once again, will present them as though the remote was the glass slipper being offered to cinderella to try on. its kind of funny because everything else he just grabs at and throws.
i was alsmot ready to head out the dorr this morning when i heard "mommy! mommy!" coming from seamus's room. i went in there to find her in bed and when i asked what was wrong she said she had a horrible dream. she dreamt that a little bike and a tire both "growed" and chased her into her bedroom. she jumped into bed and then the bike, tire and a box all went to the garage and shut the door. I don't know what she meant by the growed, it could have been growled and i didn't hear her right or maybe they grew bigger, i don't know, but it was scary for her and i can only wonder what it takes to put together a dream like that. i hugged her and she said she was feeling better. she got out of bed and got some hugs from eric, they walked me to the door and everyone waved as i walked out the gate. i hate leaving them in the morning like that.
i think i am sick. again. not sure where i got it. maybe cuz i met with the trainer here at work for the first time and even though i used only 5 and 8 pound weights, i am sore as sore can be. i did not go swimming as planned this morning because of the sickness and the soreness. i hope to get better soon.

something exciting
so i will find out on monday if something exicting will change a lot of 2008 for me. once i know if its happening i will let you know. and for any of you anxious annies, i am not pregnant and there is no possibility of it, so its something else.
i went for a run today. it was cold but there was no rain whichw as good. i went out planning on taking it easy. 6 miles later at an 8:29 pace i was done. it felt good and i was happy to have done it, as always. i was time constrained otherwise i would have made it to 7 miles so i could hit 20 miles for the week, but instead i finsihed at 19.1. this is amazing to me. remember this? or what happened when i ramped all the way to this? so granted i was coming off of 9 months of pregnancy followed by 11 months of nursing followed by anohter 9 months of pregnancy and my body was a complete crazy place, but over time i can now go for a good run and actually call it a run.
we got a catalog in the mail for some kids clothes place. i liked a lot of their stuff so i went to their website and started putting stuff in my shopping cart. $840 later i decided to not check out. i will revise my order and the proceed at some time.
seamus's is going to turn 4 here pretty soon. 4. good lord where has the time gone? is started this blog late in 2004 when seamus was already 7 months old. i wish very much now that i would have been blogging all through that pregnancy and through her first year because i didn't have a new entry until almost a year later when i was allready quite pregnant with sirus, 35.5 wks. no, i wasn't counting or anything. one thing i did do while i was pregnant with seamus and with sirus, too and every day between them and since them, is keep track of pretty much every one of my vital signs in an excel spread sheet. like i know that jan 23 2004, just a few weeks before having seamus i weighed 174 pounds, and oct 1 2005 i measured 44 inches around right before having sirus on the 3rd!
and now seamus is going to be 4. and then there is sirus! he is so big he is starting to outgrow his size 6 diapers!! he is of the age that we really need to get him interested in the potty but really he has zero interest. we will likely wait till this summer before we strong suggest it to him, but keep your fingers crossed that he decides it on his oen before then.
