I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

I am not sure my run will happen today.  I may go when David gets home. We had to pick up Ashley last night at EFY at BYU.  She is really sick.  We took er straight to the doctor.  She has Influenza A.  As required by law, the doctor is sending her swabs in to the powers at be for further testing.  We sent three of the kids away- they never came in any contact with Ash.  The two little ones were "around" her a little and we are keeping them here.  We can't chance that they might have been exposed.  She is quarantined for 10 days.  We have masks, gloves and gallons of hand sanitizer, bleach, lysol and Tide with bleach.  The doc put her on Tamiflu and hopefully she will be feeling better in a few days.  There were a bunch of other sick kids at EFY too.  They just gave Ash Tylenol, had her rest a bit and then if she felt better, they sent her to the activities.  SO hundreds of kids were exposed!!  I am SO mad.  She most likely was exposed the first 24 hours she was there.  Typical incubation is 2 days, but any where from 1-5 has been seen.  The Doc called the powers at be at EFY and hopdfully they handeled it.  Can you imagine 1,000's of kids going home to 1,000's of families ALL going to church tomorrow???  I am totally FREAKED OUT!!!  Anyway....

Oh yeah, I am trying not to think a bout the marathon on Saturday... in one week... one week from RIGHT NOW!!!

Oh yeah- my dad is sick again.  They are not sure if he is having a heart attack, just swelling around the heart or a bad graft.  Any hoots....  I am off to sanitize more parts of my house and find ways to entertain little boys and nurse a 14 year old back to health.

** Went out and ran 8 miles when David got home.  The temps were perfect and there was a GREAT breeze.  I am so glad I got to get out.  I was driven to go, the need to be out and NOT IN THE HOUSE!!  Ash is doing ok and the boys are in BED!  Victory!!!  David is off to get me a sugar fee shave ice :)

Marion - just do your best to stay well yourself. Even if you don't run a step before next Saturday - you are ready for the race, just need to stay healthy enough so that you can do it.

If there is anything I can do to help your family, please let me know.

Oh Geez Marion that is a lot going on. Here's to a speedy recovery for all the sick folk in your family! Take care of yourself!

Oh Marion I'm so sorry that you are dealing with so much... and right before your marathon. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers that all will be well and everyone will recover quickly :)

I have just cleaned everything I can and am going to lay around on the couch folding laundry :) Ash is feeling less horrible :D

At least it's taper week and you're not missing any major training runs(or running them guiltfully and fretting about family)--anyways you seem really strong about the whole thing. You're a tough woman. Awesome!

April- I just figure I can only do what I can do, the rest is going to happen no matter what. I am really praying for a miracle, that everything is going to go the way I want, but I have to be ok if that does not happen. I can't control everything, as much as I try ;) Yes, I am VERY glad that it is taper time :) Blessings abound! ;)
