Best friends

Sonali has been growing up so fast, I cannot believe she will be 3 soon. She is talking and behaving like she is 20:)

Here is how the conversation went with her last week:
ME : How was school sonu?
She : GReat!
ME : tell me more, who do you play with?
She : R. She is my best friend
ME : how about others? A? G?
She : A is T's best friend, G is A's best friend.
ME : !!!!!!!!!!!

How does she even know the concept of a best friend?:))) it was hilarious!

This week she seemed a little upset and kept saying she dint wanna go to school. So I asked her abotu it.

ME: What happened at school?
she : nothing
ME : Who is your best friend now?
She : nobody.
ME: why? What happnd to R?
She : She was mean to me . She is A' sbest friend now.
ME : hmm Why dont you playwith other kids in your class?
She : I wanna ONLY play with R

Of course I dint have much wisdom or advice after this. If this is a sample of parenting test, I am proud to say that I have failed with no hope of success:)

Running and me

It all started sometime in September when my company offered to pay to participate in the Austin 3M Half Marathon and relay. Its not like I was against exercise, but running.. that was a totally different story. I found multiple excuses not to run, but not a single one supporting it. My friend at work encouraged me to just try it out and gave me a training schedule too. Of course the fact that it was free for me just tipped the edge my way:)

I started training and found it really tough the first week, but thankfully I stayed on. I went on to run the relay at the Half Marathon in Jan. IT was a very cold day and I did not do too well. but totally loved it. I followed this up with another 10K run last week and enjoyed it even more. I guess I want to continue doing this.. let's see how this goes.

So if you r thinking about running, I am positive you can do it.. just think about me:) If I can do it.. anyone can.
