6-0

Yeah, I know.  I seem to only talk about the marathon and baseball right now.  But it's exciting.
If you missed last night's Cardinals game, I'm sorry.  It was epic.  EPIC!  (I do not overuse that word.)
We were down 6-0 in the 3rd.  Yes, you read that right, SIX!  We battled back and in the ninth inning we scored 4 to win 9-7!  Oh my gosh.  
#1 They clearly like to give me a heart attack.
#2 So exciting!
#3 This morning I had to check if it was real.

Said Motte: "They don't give up. They go out there and battle every single pitch until the last pitch is made. And they proved that again tonight."
Motte, who debuted with St. Louis in 2008, really experienced it for the first time during the Cards' epic run last season. But rookies like Joe Kelly, who threw 1 2/3 valuable innings of scoreless ball to keep the game within reach, had never really lived it.
Until Friday.
"I got here as a rookie this year, and I've never felt so welcome and as part of a team as we have here," Kelly said. "We're so close-knit and nobody ever quits. We were down six runs and Chris Carpenter's saying, 'We're going to win this ballgame.' [Manager Mike Matheny's] going, 'We're going to win this ballgame. Just believe.' We have the talent. Of course we have the talent." (via)

Sunday's another big game in San Fran!!!!!! 
GOOOOO CARDS!

 If this isn't proof to watch the whole game, I don't know what is!

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...
