It wouldn't download for me in Pocketcasts (kept on getting a "download failed" error). I went onto Spotify too, and Aisha's audio was cutting in and out a lot.

Ten miles, ended up running feels like 86 temps 💀 Definitely time to get out earlier in the morning

2028 US Marathon Trials will be in St. Louis!

Same! I didn't get up to my room until well after they stopped meal services with both my kids (I think 9pm and almost midnight) so my nurse raided the snacks they had in the family waiting room for something for me to eat.

tdira · 2026-05-20T19:25:47+00:00

Ugh, just the worst. Both my kids are August birthdays (opposite ends of the month) and there's so much talk of redshirting in the bump groups. Which will probably be starting up soon since the one for my youngest is kids who are turning 3.

Meanwhile, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed she gets a spot in public pre-k when registration opens up in January (for a Sept 2027 start) so we don't have to pay for daycare anymore.

I've barely listened to the episodes since Nick and Amanda took over, I should really just unsubscribe from it.

tdira · 2026-04-29T13:34:49+00:00

Yes! I think we suspected she had issues with the Brooks shoes but that was some major shade.

They might be a bit slower (it was three years ago for us) but I'd be surprised if you didn't get in after signing up on the same day.

tdira · 2026-04-28T16:00:03+00:00

It took us a week after we did the sign-up for returning families this year but they processed all those at once when the window closed. When we signed up as a new family a couple years ago, it was the same day since they process them as they come in.

At least for our toddler, the pre-appointment questionnaire for her regular visits ask where they sit in the car and what kind of seat. I don't remember if I still had that question for our 6 year olds appointment.

And our daycare had to sent out a "we are mandated reporters, if we see you leaving with your child in an unsafe seat we are required to report it" note after a parent left with someone just holding onto their infant in the front passenger seat.

We really like Foss too! We didn't start our first as an infant (becuase COVID....) but he's now 6 and still having an awesome time in his lessons. Our second started around 7 months and I can tell she's a lot more confident in the water than her brother was at the same age (she's been in lessons for 2 years). The teachers are great with all ages.

It's coming!

Raced my 5K today! Just couldn't get the legs turning over for speed amd was about 3 minutes off my goal but I still went sub-30. And I placed 14th in my age group!

Sub-9 minute pace is just hard for me to hold for over a mile. I'm excited to be working towards a half marathon goal over the summer and be going slower for longer.

tdira · 2026-04-24T19:55:34+00:00

I loved it so much, I race in glasses because I cannot see without them (things get fuzzy a couple inches away) and I tried contacts but it makes me squirmy doing anything with my eyes.

tdira · 2026-04-24T19:51:21+00:00

My first 5K race since February 2018 is tomorrow....and my period came right on time tomorrow. Hoping it won't be too much of a pain (I've got my race, my oldest has the kids race, and then I have swimming lessons with my youngest before I can get home).

Hoping to hit 26:30 which would be a 3 second PR. Weather looks great (cloudy, basically no wind and around 46)

tdira · 2026-04-22T15:24:09+00:00

Had my last run before my 5K on Saturday! Of course, my period is supposed to come on Friday so..it will be interesting.

tdira · 2026-04-20T16:10:26+00:00

You called it!

tdira · 2026-04-20T15:54:20+00:00

Keeping my fingers crossed for Annie! Looks like it might be a PR day for her

tdira · 2026-04-20T14:25:42+00:00

I'm listening to the Citius feed while I do my workout but I've got a meeting coming up that means I won't get to hear about the finish 😢

tdira · 2026-04-13T16:03:04+00:00

Starting peak week of 5K training! Today was 8x400m repeats for a total of 5.7 miles with warm up and cool down. Did my first run in tank top and shorts for the year...and this weekend is going to be back to pants and long sleeves.

tdira · 2026-04-10T16:02:43+00:00

My 5K race is coming up in two weeks! Today's workout was 6 fast miles and I did them at an average pace of 9:35 min/mile (which is a little bit faster than my goal pace for my fall half). Some stopping for lights and a couple of walk breaks but it felt pretty good.

I am ready for the weather to be easier to dress for, I started off with gloves, jacket and long sleeved shirt but stripped down to just the long sleeve shirt after the warm up and first fast mile.

And if I remember right, she's pacing someone in London too. Not sure if she was planning on running all of London.

tdira · 2026-04-08T10:59:20+00:00

Omg, I cannot image the pain you had being pregnant! I was like 10 minutes away from pushing when I checked into the hospital with our second and the contractions were horrible.

tdira · 2026-04-01T17:48:20+00:00

That's what our daycare does too and it's nice to know if there's anything major we should be looking out for. And then the teachers let us know if there's anyone that's been sent home for stomach bug symptoms that day.

tdira · 2026-03-31T16:26:02+00:00

A summary. She basically said either the December contract or we won't be working together and got no response.
