Big Pencil Blog: August 2012
http://bigpencilblog.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 30, 2012. First Day of 5th Grade. Yup, another year has passed. With me almost completely absent from this blog. Well, I couldn't let this one pass by- a post of the boys' new photo before the start of a new school year! A new house, but with the same picture carefully measured up from the floor and rehung specifically for the photo for this blog post: The morning of the first day of 5th grade for Sean and Ashton!

Big Pencil Blog: 2011 Healing and Mileage Stats
http://bigpencilblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/2011-healing-and-mileage-stats.html
Wednesday, January 4, 2012. 2011 Healing and Mileage Stats. For 2011 my new year's resolution was to do whatever it took to heal my back, including taking time off from running, going to physical therapy, change how I exercise- anything! I wrote a blog with the gruesome picture. Showing the herniated and bulging discs at the bottom of my spine, and with this info, the good doctor prescribed a cortisone shot. Miracle of Miracles, it WORKED. I get to run again! Okay, on to the part you've all been waiting ...

Big Pencil Blog: Back Updates
http://bigpencilblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/back-updates.html
Friday, February 18, 2011. I am blogging this morning from my treadmill. Yes, I am happy and relieved to report that the cortisone shot did what it was supposed to and reduced all the inflammation in my back muscles, and within three days reducing my pain to a virtual non-existence! That stuff is like liquid magic! I am a normal person again! That said, I am still super cautious about proper form and posture during my daily routines and workouts. I have no desire to get stuck back on the floor again!

Wednesday, December 30, 2009. Running Stats for 2009. Yup, I know there is one full day left of 2009, but tomorrow is not a running day for me, and I didn't plan early on to have an exact number of miles to run before the clocked stopped ticking for 2009 and started for 2010. (Wow. 2010. That sounds futuristic, eh? Can you believe that it's here? So, here are my running and walking stats nice and simple for the year of 2009:. Running: 552.2 miles. Grand total: 618.2 miles. I finished my masters degree!

Monday, August 29, 2011. The boys started 4th grade today! Yes, today is the first day of school for S&A, and I have pictures to share! I walked to the bus with them this morning, and Sean asked Ashe on the way if he could sit next to him on the bus. As they waved to me and blew me kisses through the window, I got misty eyed when the bus pulled away, even though we have made this first school day parting 5 previous years (oh man, preschool was the WORST! Sean and I cried and cried and cried. New snow leo...

Big Pencil Blog: June 2011
http://bigpencilblog.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Lord Sunday, book 7 of the Keys to the Kingdom series. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. This series was fantastic! Phillip Pullman has his controversial series on God and the angels, and Garth Nix brushes through creation in this one. I loved the depth of character development- watching Arthur's inner strength as he grew as a person, and was surprised at his part of ending. This is definitely a series I'll reread.
