ING NYC Marathon 2011

Hi loves :) I've missed you all! I have so many things to blog about. First of all I am so happy that this is a short week. Miguelito had no school today due to Elections and Friday there is no school thanks to Veterans Day. Today we got to wake up early to go see a movie with my mom and than we got to spend the rest of the day at the Central park Zoo - pictures to come by the end of this week!

Last week was such a crazy busy week which led up to the best Sunday ever! It was Marathon weekend :) The days leading up to Sunday were full of fireworks, marathon expo, sign making, and lots of family time (which I love!) Oh and let me not forget an entire week of gall bladder pain, I kept praying that it would go away and that it didn't send me to the ER for emergency surgery. Can you believe that the pain is still there, oh so faintly but still there. It all started after the jogging around Central Park. I think it doesn't want me to run, and it has actually stopped me from doing so since last weeks Monday, but I will be going tomorrow, wish me luck! Ok now, where was I? Oh yes the Marathon, it is one of the craziest and most exciting events in NYC, so much excitement and cheering goes on. The entire city is paralyzed on Marathon day. It is just Amazing!
I do warn you that there is a mayor picture overload coming up :)
