Treadmills and teeth!

Hello everyone!  I trust all is well in your home, things are going great here as well!

Traci and I have recently started our half marathon training for the Abilene Marathon.  I have run this race the past two years and Traci has run it as well.  They offer a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and full marathon.  Neither of us have ventured into the arena of full marathons yet, so we are doing the half this year.  The weather has no allowed us to do our training runs outside very often so we have been forced inside and onto the treadmill.  If you know our family you know that running inside on a treadmill is not ideal, we would rather be outside.  So we have been doing our runs inside, which has led to Piper discovering the wonders of the treadmill.

One day as I was running inside, I had that feeling like someone was watching me...sure enough someone was..."Hey...what are you doing daddy?" Piper asked.  "I am running" I said, Piper looked at me like I was crazy.  "What are you running on, daddy?" Piper asked.  "I am running on a treadmill" I said.  "Oh...let me try" Piper says....thus began Piper's love affair with the treadmill.  She routinely asks now to run on the treadmill, so I place her on the treadmill and hold her hands as she walks on it, then she will demand to go faster and faster.  Granted the treadmill is set at 1.4 which is very slow for an average sized adult, for a child the size of Piper it's an all out sprint.  She loves it.  She will tell me "Daddy, I am tired, I am all done," so I will take her off the treadmill and she will immediately ask me if she's sweating.  She thinks she is sweating because she ran alot, and she is training for a race too!  Needless to say its entertaining in our house as usual.

Maizy's teeth finally broke through so she now has too little sharp teeth on her bottom gums right in the front, it's pretty adorable...and it's pretty painful.  She decided the other day when I was coming in for a kiss to show me just how efficient she was with her teeth, and she latched onto my nose.  Yeah they are sharp, yep they hurt....and hell yes she thought it was hilarious.  It now appears by all accounts the she is getting more teeth, which means she will now have a better chance of instilling more damage on my nose in the future. 

Well thats about all for now, I trust everyone is happy and well.  Life is Good!!
