I know you all were wondering. 3 months without blogging... Let's just say, life has been crazy busy. Here is a snapshot of the past 3 months:<br />
<br />
-My entire family came for Christmas and stayed at our house. It was fun (and a tad cramped.) We had a great Christmas!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl4T6G3xaKSRjZUdXJd09tuZ4ooLFjxYWeb2tDIoxROsSAuisWg66eZK7nCrQ7i_ce5O97lR1_pQDwv_yAQtkWzyZEEQi1futp9N4BAzQYd1GRP5thbZhdfA45eHdUD82j6nJtD0tB_ETP/s1600/Call+Family+Dec+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl4T6G3xaKSRjZUdXJd09tuZ4ooLFjxYWeb2tDIoxROsSAuisWg66eZK7nCrQ7i_ce5O97lR1_pQDwv_yAQtkWzyZEEQi1futp9N4BAzQYd1GRP5thbZhdfA45eHdUD82j6nJtD0tB_ETP/s320/Call+Family+Dec+2011.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>-Ben turned 9 on Dec. 16th. He started his winter season of Jr Jazz basketball and had a lot of fun. His last game was a week ago. He created a really neat komodo dragon out of clay and it was displayed in the school library for a couple weeks. He continues to be my way too smart 3rd grader. <br />

She has had 3 competitions so far and each time she has performed her solo, she has won Queen! (that's 1st place) Last week she even won the Overall High Point for her division and beat out 14 other girls and got a 6 foot trophy. Crazy! Her team is doing awesome. They took 1st place in all their routines the past 2 weeks and last weekend her jazz routine beat out 30+ routines in the Intermediate division and won the Overall High Point.<br />

He was so excited to go to practice and use his lefty glove. Last week I registered him for kindergarten. It was a bittersweet day. I'm going to miss my little buddy. My kids are growing up!<br />

He had his 33rd birthday last week and I surprised him and took him to the Melting Pot. It was the first time we had ever been there and it was very yummy!<br />

I really enjoyed doing that and hope they ask me to do it again soon. I continue to workout 4-5 days a week and am training for the Ragnar Relay in June and the Hood 2 Coast relay in August. I've been super busy at work with competition season and everything that goes along with that. I love it despite the exhausting weekends. Sometimes I feel like I barely have enough time to breathe. Good thing though is that at night I'm out as soon as my head hits the pillow. :)<br />

Jake and I are leaving for Israel in 2 days! My parents spoiled me, my siblings, and our spouses and bought tickets for us to come visit them. We have a 12-hour layover in London and then should be in Tel Aviv on Friday. I'm going to miss my babies and I think it will be hard for me to turn my phone off and disconnect myself from the world for awhile... but at the same time, I need this time away to re-charge and get my mind off of life for awhile. My sister, Ash, and her husband Chad will be there with us too. It will be a vacation of a lifetime!jamieschiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05639610558814741094noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390957750973647784.post-79091237171595168862011-12-16T10:29:00.001-07:002011-12-16T10:30:55.631-07:00One of my Gold's Gym commercials<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyJ9ieoU-oP38J3kJITd4AujVVgjd7FsgYjPxfoonEkKRN34tMl_xROtCkApbzF6YvnblIOiBayd3NXpcdLkQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Here is one of my commercials. I know there is another one out there, and they are going to make a longer one that tells more of my story soon. How fitting that the first time I saw this was when I was working out at Gold's. The guy two bikes down from me did a double-take, and then asked if that was me on tv.

Pictured above is our latest development. Josh hit his face on the corner of a chair in our basement on Sunday afternoon and ended up giving himself a black eye. Then today he scraped his face at scouts, and then tonight he fell off my chair at the studio and his face smacked the floor. This poor kid! I gave him a big hug after he got hurt at my work and then he said "Mom, I just keep getting hurt!" Then I asked where he hurt and he said "ALL OVER!" <br />
<br />
<a href="http://db.tt/lQCnyygq">Here is our 2011 Christmas newsletter.</a> I'm not mailing anything out this year, so you all get to view it electronically. Hey, I'm saving the trees! (and I don't have the money for cards and postage, or the time to get it all out.) <br />
<br />
Ben got his Wolf merit badge today at his scout pack meeting, so he is now working on his Bear. I'm really proud of him and how driven he is. He is a very responsible kid and so trustworthy. He's a great big brother, too!<br />
<br />

Then last week when she heard we were trying to create an office in the house for Jake's new job she said we could have the other bed so we could put the bunk bed together and Josh and Ben could share a room. The kids were really excited about the bunk bed. After nearly SIX hours of taking beds apart, transporting them, finding out we were missing a part, going to the store to get a makeshift part, then getting them put together, the kids could finally sleep in them... and they were SO excited. Susi is the BEST! We love her so much. Now Josh's old room upstairs is officially Jake's office and Josh moved into Ben's room. I bought Josh some white 9" letters from Michaels that spell "J-O-S-H" and I put them on his wall today. (Ben has them already up in his room and Emma has some in her room.) Josh was SO excited to see his name on the wall and then he said "Mom, now Ben and I can share a room FOREVER!" (Good thing Ben didn't hear him say that! ;) )<br />

Emma went to 5 practices and then performed during halftime at a basketball game last week. She had so much fun dancing with her friends Eliza, Jaycie, and Hannah.<br />
<br />
Jake is in Dallas, Texas this week, training for his new job. He's going to be an independent contractor for an oil and gas title firm. He is excited about it. He really enjoys title work and did quite a bit of it at his old firm. The job is flexible. He will be working from home and setting his own hours. And the best part is it pays the bills! We've been struggling to make ends meet the past two years and finally we will be able to get our feet under us again. We feel really blessed.<br />

We ended up having 14 people come and we ate together at the Cougareat and then watched the 7pm show at the Joseph Smith Building on BYU's campus. We had a blast!<br />

(He has his own lighting business and does the lights for fairs, dances, and bars.) We asked if she wanted to stop and see him and she did, so we pulled into the parking lot and walked into the bar... all 6 of us Mormon ladies. We definitely didn't feel like we belonged in there, but we did enjoy the music. We all decided to stick around through one song and so we all busted out our "high school" moves and had a great time pretending us old mamas still had "it". <br />
<br />
I'm busy carpooling, volunteering in Ben's class every week, going to Relief Society meetings every week, working Monday through Thursday, taking kids to dance, basketball, helping plan our ward's Christmas party that is this Saturday, working out 4-5 days/week, helping my friend get through some tough times, keeping the fridge stocked, budget balanced, just wrapped all our Christmas presents, helping the kids with homework, went through the kids old clothes and toys, sold old toys on eBay and KSL, and more. The good news is, I sleep really well at night. I'm out as soon as my head hits the pillow. :) Which reminds me... my pillow is calling. Better catch some zzz's.

After gorging myself Monday with plenty of mini Twix and mini Milky Ways (80 cals each... OUCH!), I figure it's time for a cleanse. Who is with me? 3 weeks isn't THAT long, right?! ;)jamieschiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05639610558814741094noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390957750973647784.post-36792302083147200452011-10-30T23:07:00.000-06:002011-10-30T23:07:42.952-06:00Pumpkin Decorating<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxk3BS-DwbgJF_ITuVuchnv9hrZpZvVGQZfR1iVHg5Wocl5J9ogGXOIS-3aFpXFqref7awcmh6RYYWhNtbQHg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>We were slackers this year and didn't get to decorating our pumpkins until tonight, the day before Halloween. Oh well. At least it got done. We've wanted to do it as a family and last weekend Ben was gone, and I work Monday through Thursday nights, so it's been hard to find a day that worked for everyone. Glad it finally happened, though. Tonight Jake pulled out the laptop and showed the kids examples of jack-o-laterns, so they could all get an idea of what they wanted to do on their pumpkin. Emma wanted a vampire pumpkin face, Josh wanted a scary face (and Jake added the soul patch). Ben scoured the internet for an idea and finally decided on the Loch Ness Monster. I tried to draw the thing free-hand and I think it pretty much looks like the one on the web (at least Ben's happy with it and that's all that matters.) We had fun scooping out the pumpkin guts, and putting candles inside and lighting them. Now the kids are asleep, I'm sure dreaming about all the candy they will be getting tomorrow. I'm glad there is no school and we can sleep in a little. I have a dr appt. at 9:30am but then we are pretty much free the rest of the day, until trick-or-treat time. I was looking over my calendar tonight and couldn't believe next week is Daylight Savings (yay!), and then 3 1/2 weeks until Thanksgiving. Time is going by way too fast. <br />

I was given the topic "Strengthening Our Faith Amidst Life's Trials" and it was a talk I have definitely needed lately. I wanted to put the talk on my blog so I can pull it up and read it, and just remind myself of why life is hard sometimes. <div><br />

</div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We are told in the scriptures that it is essential to endure to the end:</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“Wherefore, if you shall be obedient to the commandments, and endure to the end, ye shall be saved at the last day” (1 Nephi 22:31).</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many; but endure them, for, lo, I am with thee, even unto the end of thy days” (D&C 24:8).</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“Behold, we count them happy which endure” (James 5:11).</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Do you notice that not once do the scriptures tell us the exact length of time we have to endure? When we are told we will have <i>many</i> afflictions, we are not told exactly <i>how many</i>? What we <i>are</i> told is that if we endure to the end, we will be happy, we will have peace, and we will be “saved at the last day.” So, how do we endure well? </span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Elder Robert D. Hales tells us that “The basic requirements include knowing who we are, (children of God with a desire to return to His presence after mortality); understanding the purpose of life, (to endure to the end and obtain eternal life); and living obediently with a desire and a determination to endure all things, (having eternal vision). Eternal vision allows us to overcome opposition in our temporal state and, ultimately, achieve the promised rewards and blessings of eternal life.”</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Let’s be honest, though. Sometimes we get tunnel vision, especially when trials come and life gets hard. We don’t understand why when we do everything right, bad things still happen. We begin to wonder, “Why hasn’t God answered my prayers? Why doesn’t He care about me?” We know in our hearts that yes, God really does care, but sometimes we allow ourselves to forget this. It is when we start looking for the mini-miracles and tender mercies in our lives, that we will eventually find that they are happening every day. It is then we are reminded that we are not forgotten.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Two and a half years ago my husband lost his job. It was a very scary time for us and our family and I remember one day falling to my knees and crying to the Lord. We had sent out hundreds of resumes and applied to jobs all over the country... and still nothing came. I didn’t understand how this could happen to us. We had been married in the temple, had three beautiful children, paid our tithing, went to church every Sunday. Why did this hard thing have to happen to our family? Eventually my husband did get a new job, making significantly less than he did at his previous job. We knew we wouldn’t be able to pay all our bills on our new salary, but thankfully with savings and his severance we were able to make ends meet for awhile. Because of this situation, my husband and I thought it might be a good time in our lives to try a different career path and go into the Foreign Service with the Department of State, living abroad and experiencing different cultures. My husband passed rigorous exams and made it to the point where our entire family needed extensive medical tests done to make sure we were all well enough to travel internationally. I was just recovering from a bout with pneumonia when I needed this physical, which included an x-ray. My x-ray showed a mass in my right lung, which I was told was the pneumonia. The State Department was not satisfied with these results and ordered another x-ray done a few months later. So I had another x-ray, and again, the same mass showed up on the film. And again, 3 months later I had to come back. At this 3rd x-ray the dr saw the mass was <i>still</i> there and so ordered a CT scan. An hour after I left the hospital I received a call from my dr, asking to meet me in his office as soon as possible. I was told I had a cancerous tumor in my lung and on June 23, 2010, 13 days later I was in the hospital, undergoing surgery to have 70% of my right lung removed. Thankfully, labs came back after the surgery saying the tumor was gone and I was cancer-free. </span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I learned a lot about perspective through this experience. If my husband had not lost his job we would not have pursued the Foreign Service. If we had not pursued Foreign Service we would not have been ordered to have extensive medical exams, the same exams that found my cancer. My husband ended up expiring off the Foreign Service register before being offered a position, and so that experience never was realized. But because of our new perspective, we knew we learned what Heavenly Father needed us to learn by going through the process, these trials... and this process saved my life. Sometimes we cannot grasp all the reasons for our challenges, but when we do what is right and show our faith, He may reveal to us greater understanding about our trials and the purpose of them in our lives.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Apostle Orson F. Whitney explained: “No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God... and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire.”</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Trials give us opportunities to show Heavenly Father and ourselves that we will be faithful. We can choose to feel sorry for ourselves and ask “Why me?” or we can grow from our trials, increase our faith in the Lord, and ask “How can I be faithful in the midst of this trial?” We can let the hard times drag us down or we can let it refine us and make us stronger.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So, how do we strengthen our faith during these hard times? Here are 5 ideas to help us do this: </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> </span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">1. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;">We turn toward Christ</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">. Elder Robert D. Hales taught that “our older brother is our greatest example of faithfully enduring to the end. When suffering on the cross at Calvary, Jesus felt the loneliness of agency when He pled to His Father in Heaven, “Why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matt. 27:46). The Savior was left alone by His Father to experience, of His own free will and choice, an act of agency which allowed Him to complete His mission of the Atonement. The Lord could have called on legions of angels to take Him down from the cross, but He faithfully endured to the end and completed the very purpose for which He had been sent to earth, thus granting eternal blessings to all who will ever experience mortality.” Christ has felt our pains, our heavy burdens, our sorrows. He knows what we are going through. There is nothing we are enduring that Jesus does not understand. I often think of Nephi when he was told to go back to Jerusalem to get the plates and he is having a hard time doing it. He says to his brothers “I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save He shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which He commandeth them.” Sometimes the trials we are faced with really are too much to bear alone, and it is when we rely on Him that a way is prepared for us to endure. We hear often “God will never give us more than we can bear” but I think the truth is, “God will never give us more than <i>He</i> can bear.” And He can bear it all, if we will let Him. </span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">2. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;">We live with integrity</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">. Keeping the commandments-- no matter how trying-- makes us stronger and helps us overcome every challenge in life. Through faith and obedience, we qualify for the divine spiritual guidance we need to guide us along unknown paths.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">3. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;">We keep an eternal perspective and don’t give up</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">. I took up running a couple years ago and it’s something I really enjoy. I’ve ran a handful of 5Ks, 10Ks, and half marathons. I know when I race that I will never take 1st place, or even 2nd or 3rd. That’s not why I do it. I run so I can push myself to do something hard, and ultimately cross that finish line and be proud of my accomplishment. This summer I ran my first half marathon since losing much of my right lung. I knew this race would probably be the hardest race of my life, and I was right. Mile 11 and 12 were extremely difficult. I fought hard to keep my breathing regulated, but I never gave up. I crossed the finish line with a time 24 minutes slower than my personal best. But it didn’t matter. I did it. Just like in life, we need to pace ourselves, push even when it gets hard, focus on the end goal, and we need to finish. Our trials can often give us a deeper and more expansive perspective, a more eternal perspective. And it is this eternal perspective that motivates us to endure well to the end.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">4. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;">We be patient and understand that it’s “Not as I will, but as thou wilt.”</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> In a devotional address given at BYU-Idaho by Larry Richman 4 years ago, he explained that “We live in a world of instant gratification. We want fast food, quick loans, and instant solutions to our problems. However, the Lord may ask us to show our faith by enduring some problems patiently. And even if we exercise our strongest faith, God will not always reward us immediately according to our desires. Sincere faith gives understanding and strength to accept the will of our Heavenly Father when it differs from our own. And God will respond with what is best for us in His eternal plan.”</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">5. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;">And lastly, we don’t doubt what we already know</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">. My dad told me a story that happened years ago. A sister in his ward was teaching a class where she handed out a little slip of paper to everyone. On it were written the words, “Don’t doubt in the dark what you can see in the light.” He decided to take that counsel to heart. He went on to tell me that during those times in his life where he felt sure of his Heavenly Father’s love and of his testimony, he told himself that there would come other times when he would not be as sure, times when the light in the room would be turned off. And then he promised himself right then that no matter what happened, no matter how he felt, no matter what other reasons he might find to believe otherwise, he would hold on to that fact. He has done this, and he has always found that sooner or later the light is turned back on and all is right again. He has also found that even while the light is off, knowing and even believing this, having unwavering faith, gives him the ability to deal with all the problems that come his way.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It is my prayer that we keep an eternal perspective, an eternal ‘vision’, that we rely on our Savior and His Atonement, and that we remember to hold onto what we know in our hearts. If we do these things, we will be able to weather whatever storms may come our way, and endure well to the end.</span></div></div>jamieschiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05639610558814741094noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390957750973647784.post-22360554160796739622011-10-23T09:58:00.000-06:002011-10-23T09:58:48.025-06:0080s Rockstar and Mohawk Hipster<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdN3vi-0CkcHoFb2HhaKgdzFoWu7A0cLqU77hnu0D5otDVfp6EahWtX6iNRqXLzm9NntfY6PIXhtn7KwR9V4J9ojHmgco2-N-JFlwr1cZUngXpn9KCGR1mmLfvqi2DrGUVjAza4HOgDwm5/s1600/IMG_2542.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdN3vi-0CkcHoFb2HhaKgdzFoWu7A0cLqU77hnu0D5otDVfp6EahWtX6iNRqXLzm9NntfY6PIXhtn7KwR9V4J9ojHmgco2-N-JFlwr1cZUngXpn9KCGR1mmLfvqi2DrGUVjAza4HOgDwm5/s320/IMG_2542.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Emma got to wear her Halloween costume to her friend's birthday party on Friday.

I knew something was up. When the door opened, Josh emerged with a huge mohawk and the biggest smile on his face. "Look what Emma did to me! She gave me a mohawk!" Emma was proud of her creation. Those two crack me up! Ben could have gotten in on the action but missed out because he spent the weekend at his cousins' house in Lehi. I'm sure Emma will try to get him next time! (Emma didn't want her hair down or makeup off from her party the night before, so she looked like this all day long, even to our trip to Costco. Yes, I am that parent who lets my kid do that.

She was all for it so they have been in the class for about 3 weeks. Last week they started learning a routine to the song "Dynamite". They both love that song and I recorded them this afternoon, practicing the little bit that they learned last week. They are free-stylin' it the last 20 seconds. My little guys are adorable. Can't wait to watch them perform in the recital next year. ;)jamieschiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05639610558814741094noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390957750973647784.post-80419401264427733312011-09-12T00:00:00.000-06:002011-09-12T00:00:53.612-06:00Josh's turn<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmWwKzF2_H1Xl7n5OvTGKnfX8MzQKq1SABezD7UnR6BbXls-OhGHc7slM65Ulec15U0XsZ27LVrnIs9oZZYfMEnyngyfTTJwRTxawAhoMfwC_LWIHwvND3Cc-RMOBGPe8UQ-DapYHnyDZJ/s1600/IMG_2442.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmWwKzF2_H1Xl7n5OvTGKnfX8MzQKq1SABezD7UnR6BbXls-OhGHc7slM65Ulec15U0XsZ27LVrnIs9oZZYfMEnyngyfTTJwRTxawAhoMfwC_LWIHwvND3Cc-RMOBGPe8UQ-DapYHnyDZJ/s320/IMG_2442.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Josh has had a hard time watching his older siblings go to school the past two weeks while he had to wait.

Summer is over and school has started. Ben and Emma were really excited about today. When I came downstairs to make sure the kids were getting ready, they were already dressed, backpacks on, and nearly done with their breakfast. We came outside and took our traditional "First day of school" pics in our front yard, said our family prayer, then headed out the door. Jake came with us, like he has done every year, and I love that he does that. The kids love it, too. As we pulled up to the school Ben jumped out of the car and said, "Mom, I'm just going to go to where I think the 3rd graders will be." Of course I told him to hold on so we could go together on his first day, but it made me slightly sad, knowing he is getting so big and independent and doesn't really need mom and dad to hold his hand anymore. We walked into the school and were told where Ben's teacher, Mrs. Lewis, was, and Emma's teacher, Mrs. Gleed. Ben was walking a couple steps ahead of us, anxious to get to his classroom. There was a class list posted on the wall outside his door and he saw he had 2 or 3 good friends in there. His teacher introduced herself to him, he hung his backpack up, found his seat, and then was ready for us to leave. (I'm sure part of it was nerves, and the other part embarrassment. ;) ) Next we walked Emma to her classroom. It's crazy to me that she is in 1st grade now, which means she's gone from 8:45am-3:30pm every day. She is really excited that she gets to eat lunch in the cafeteria now. Her friends Eliza and Hannah are in her class, and Hannah sits right across from her so she was happy about that. She met her teacher, I gave her a hug, we said goodbye and then it was done. Jake, Josh, and I walked back to our cars. Jake left for work and Josh and I went home. I don't know how Josh is going to survive without Emma around. She is his buddy and they play together all day long. It helps that Josh is going to preschool so he feels he's not missing out too much, although he doesn't start for 2 weeks so he's a little bummed. He loves telling everyone his teacher is "Miss Kari". He has his friends, Drew and Max in his class too which he is really excited about. He will be gone Tuesdays through Thursdays from 9-11am. I can't believe I will have no kids at home those couple hours a week. My babies are growing up. Wish they would slow it down a little. ;)<br />

I survived my first half marathon since the cancer and surgery a year ago. I was very worried about this race. I was not as prepared as I should have been, the farthest run so far being 8 miles (and it was rough!) A few weeks ago I ran 6 miles and it was torture. I felt like I was going to throw up around 3 miles and ended up walking nearly 2. Then the next week I ran 8 and I had horrible hip and knee pain and wondered how I would even survive 13.1. Then, to make matters worse, I woke up at 3am Thursday morning with major congestion and sore throat. Perfect timing. I get one cold in 6 months and of course it had to be 2 days before my race. My body was achy all day Thursday and Friday. I slept with kleenex plugged up in my nose so I didn't drip all over (cute, I know.) I thought a couple times that maybe I should pull out of the race. But then I kicked myself in the butt and said I would run this race no matter what. I knew this wouldn't be the best run of my life, but it would be the most meaningful. This race signified so much for me. It's my favorite race (PR 2:05 in 2009), and then last year my friend took my place since I was still recovering from my surgery and couldn't run. I felt like this race was my comeback. My comeback from cancer and then acclimating to my new lung capacity. It was my way of saying "You suck, cancer. And I BEAT you!" It was also my way to give back to all those who have encouraged and supported me this last year, telling me they knew I could do it, even when at times I wasn't so sure. So for two days I downed lots of Airborne, Cold-Eze, vitamin C, green tea. You name it, I was taking it. I noticed yesterday afternoon my cold was lightening up a little and I became hopeful. Last night I stayed at the Days Inn in Springville with my friend, Susi Mabey, her daughter Malissa, her brother Kevan, and her nephew Kaleb. I was the first one to get to the hotel and had about 2 hours before anyone else came. I stretched, watched some forensics stuff on tv, surfed the internet with my phone, and then said a prayer. I asked God to help me get through the race, to help me push my body, that my cold wouldn't affect me, and to make sure I didn't die on the side of the road. ;) Susi, Kevan, and Kaleb got there around 11pm and Malissa showed up around 11:30pm. We all got to bed around 12:30am and were up at 4:30am getting ready. We left the hotel at 5am, got our bib numbers by 5:30am, and then lined up for the busses. Turns out 25 busses were ordered and only 15 showed up so it took awhile to load, drop off, come back, and load again. We got on the bus around 6:30am, made it up to the starting line by 7:05am. The race was supposed to start at 7:15am but we figured that wouldn't be happening because we knew there were at least 6 busses behind us. The porta-potties had huge lines that we didn't want to wait in (and Susi has a small fear of them anyway) so Susi, Malissa and I hiked up a ways and did our business in the bushes. Very lady-like, I know. I downed 2 aleve and 2 endurolyte pills, turned my Garmin on, and I was ready to go. The race started at 7:30am (so not too late), and we were finally on our way. I ran the first 3 miles in 29:47. Made it to 6 miles in exactly 1 hour. I couldn't believe how great I felt those 6 miles. I only stopped at the mile 3 and mile 6 water stations and that was it. My hip and knee felt great (I was wearing my IT band strap and I think that made a difference.) The run was beautiful. I didn't take it for granted this time, like I did 2 years ago. I listened to the river, watched the trees sway back and forth, and enjoyed the cool breeze on my face. It was amazing. I knew, though, that the hardest part of the race was coming. Weirdly, at mile 7 out of no where I felt the spot behind my left ankle tighten up and then it made my big toe cramp up. I stopped running and tried to stretch my foot and toe out. After a minute or so the cramp went away and I continued with the race. Another 1/4 mile it happened AGAIN. It happened probably 15 times within mile 7 and 11, and it seemed to happen more when I was running uphill. Very odd. This has never happened to me during a run. Those walking breaks to stretch my foot out slowed me down quite a bit, but it still didn't take away from the race. I knew I was running the race just to finish. I really had no expectations and just hoped I could push myself and do the best I could do. My lungs felt pretty good the entire run. There were spots here and there where I was sucking air more than I normally would, but with the lung capacity I have and just getting over a cold, I felt pretty good about my breathing. Around 10 1/4 mile there was a nice little hill and I remember thinking I had less than a 5K to go. When I hit mile 11, it started getting pretty rough. My brain wanted me to move faster but my body wasn't listening. I felt my quads tightening up but thankfully no more cramps. We wove through a neighborhood there in Mapleton and then turned onto the main road, the last mile. Wish I could say it was my best mile. It wasn't. I knew it would be hard. I walked a couple times. But the thing that put the biggest smile on my face was hearing my name around 12 3/4 mile. I looked ahead of me and saw Jake and the kids, waving and cheering for me. My heart was so happy. I didn't know if Jake would come and wouldn't hold it against him if he didn't. I knew it would be a pain to haul the kids the hour and a half down there, wait in the hot sun for me to finish, then turn around and go home. It meant so much to me, though, that they came. I gave Ben and Emma little high fives as I passed them, then they hurried to the end of the race so they could see me finish. As I stepped on the mat and crossed the finish line at 2:29, this huge wave of relief and joy washed over me. I just ran a HALF MARATHON. 13.1 miles. I grabbed my flower and t-shirt, drank a bunch of water and took 2 extra strength tylenol, ate some fruit, a few bites of a bagel, and drank some yummy cold chocolate milk. I felt good. Jake, the kids, and I went back to the finish line to watch Kevan, Susi, and Malissa cross, and then we all took pictures before saying good-bye to the Mabey clan. The race was a great reminder that I am strong and I can do hard things. It reminded me to be thankful for my able body. It reminded me of the love and support I have at home, which means so much to me. It also reminded me that there is a God who listens and cares about my needs. I needed this... and He knew that. I feel on top of the world right now, such a difference from <a href="http://schipfam.blogspot.com/2010/08/facing-reality.html">last year's race</a>. Contemplating a marathon next year. It's going to be a lot of hard work, but I know I can do it. Stay tuned...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This Saturday is the Hobble Creek half marathon, my first half marathon since the cancer and surgery. It's going to be rough. I'm not going to lie. I've ran 3-5 miles twice a week for the past couple months. I ran 8 miles last Saturday and my left hip was bugging me. Let's just say, this won't be the best race I've ever ran but I just keep telling myself I need to be happy with the fact I can even RUN. I debated for a second on pulling out of the race because I knew it would be hard and I wouldn't PR, but of course I gave myself a little kick in the butt and reminded myself it's not about my time or how well I run it, it's just the fact that I cross the finish line. That really is what matters. And so... I will push myself and run 13.1 miles on Saturday. I know a lot of people are rooting for me and it means so much. I'm reminded of this race last year. I was planning on running it, then found out about the cancer and had surgery. <a href="http://schipfam.blogspot.com/2010/08/facing-reality.html">My sweet friend, Heidi, stepped up and ran in my place, getting me my goal of under 2 hours.</a> I'm running on Saturday for all those who have helped my family and inspired us to be strong and push through the tough times these past couple years. Love you all!<br />

A few weeks ago a rep for Gold's Gym asked if I would share my weight loss success story on Fox News. I was excited to get the chance to share my story and hopefully inspire others to be healthier. I was on the "Workout Wednesday" clip this morning. The interview was nearly 5 minutes long and it was LIVE. I was a tad nervous but mostly excited. The anchors were very nice and they both put me at ease during the whole interview. I felt I got slightly incoherent at the end, but hopefully overall it was motivating to those watching and inspired others to be more active and healthy. Thanks Fox 13! It was fun!

Ashleigh was the photographer for our cousin, Logan's wedding. While she was in town I took advantage of her awesome skills and had her take some pics of us. The first three were taken at Memory Grove park. We had been celebrating Josh's birthday at Seven Peaks waterpark all day, none of us had showered, we didn't coordinate our outfits or do our hair. This is the "everyday Schipaanboord's." Thought it would be good to have a couple family shots of us being, well... us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW3AioPH7rQm9wPQtW1djpEOaR7Sy5mQOpdldt2mk_ctmF-7d_uhwfVEGMq0tYN-7pGu_Ir6vqkqF6r1pLyBOPVH9rIKOyr1AzM43_SVJ_OODOpfAdBjpLRnuBdu4EdsUyks9Q9DlrQf3o/s1600/DSC_1108.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW3AioPH7rQm9wPQtW1djpEOaR7Sy5mQOpdldt2mk_ctmF-7d_uhwfVEGMq0tYN-7pGu_Ir6vqkqF6r1pLyBOPVH9rIKOyr1AzM43_SVJ_OODOpfAdBjpLRnuBdu4EdsUyks9Q9DlrQf3o/s320/DSC_1108.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoGdVuAznB7JQWNJdqc_WjkVuqgxYM0d-S8qc9LFTjZC-fujQCh3Iwme6R9W3dHoG0d2_hubhKuIsEDIxgvXXEY2QRye4ofQos8RWvlwn9TBFKanSnbtcxerDJPjRJp7CelX0NHh8MR0E_/s1600/DSC_1120.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoGdVuAznB7JQWNJdqc_WjkVuqgxYM0d-S8qc9LFTjZC-fujQCh3Iwme6R9W3dHoG0d2_hubhKuIsEDIxgvXXEY2QRye4ofQos8RWvlwn9TBFKanSnbtcxerDJPjRJp7CelX0NHh8MR0E_/s320/DSC_1120.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These other pics were taken at the Salt Lake Temple, right before we went to our cousin, Hillary's wedding. I did plan our outfits in this one. I decided on the blue/yellow/white theme when I saw Josh and Ben wearing their blue dress shirts to church a few weeks ago. I loved how cute they looked in them and thought matching yellow ties would look really nice. I found Emma's dress at Costco for $12.99, my shoes at Payless, and the boys' ties at Tie One On at the Layton Hills Mall. I borrowed my skirt from my friend, Meighan, and everything else we already had in our closets. Jake and I had a little disagreement about which tie he was going to wear and ultimately he won, and I actually think now his choice was the better of the two anyway. You were right, babe. ;)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Hard to believe my baby is 4 years old. I sometimes forget what a big kid he is until he does or says something that surprises me and makes me realize that he is definitely not a baby anymore. Exciting and a little sad all rolled into one. Thankfully he still gives me hugs and kisses, and tells me he "loves me most." He's our special little guy.<br />

He took the pic above of me today, and the last one he took of me sleeping with Josh before that one was the pic below. Why can't Jake take a cute picture? You know the one, with the mom looking all angelic, embracing her child as they both are in deep slumber? Nope. Can't take pics like that. It's just not my style. Jake really lucked out with his sleeping beauty. ;) And by the way, yes, I sleep with my mouth open. I have a deviated septum and don't breathe great out of my left nostril, hence the mouth-breathing. It's attractive, I know. You're all jealous. ;)<br />

I had been running with my girlfriends and we were all planning to do the NSL 5K together on July 3, 2010. Then I was diagnosed with the cancer in my lung and spent June 22-July 6 in the hospital and wasn't able to run the race. Instead, my mom took my number and ran in my spot and my girlfriends ran as "Team Jamie". I remember sitting in my hospital bed and getting a text from them before the race, showing a picture of Abby and Meighan with huge smiles, wearing their "Team Jamie" hats. I bawled. I was happy they were doing it, sad I wasn't there, happy my cancer was gone, sad I didn't know if I could run races again, happy I felt so much love and support, sad I didn't know when I could come home. Lots of emotions. Throughout the race, Amber kept me updated with more texts and pictures. I cried some more. It was a crazy/happy/sad day... hard to put it all into words. Then after the race, my 5 friends all came to the hospital and gave me a shower (something I couldn't do on my own and desperately wanted. It had been 11 days since I had taken a full shower, been scrubbed down, hair washed and all.) I stripped down to nothing but my chest tubes and telemetry monitor and they all gently and lovingly scrubbed me down from head to toe. I felt so good afterward and my love for them grew exponentially that day. <br />
<br />
I was excited when I got a text from Abby a few days ago telling me she had signed up for the 5K again. And then the next thing I knew Meighan and Kim were on-board again, too. We all carpooled together and there was excitement and lots of joy in the air. We were celebrating! After we all checked in, got our numbers and waited in line for the race to start, I looked around the park. I looked at all the people, watched my friends fiddling with their sunglasses and iPods, felt the warm sun on my face, breathed in the clean air. It made me smile. It was one of those perfect moments where you just wish you could stop time so you could soak it all in for just a few minutes longer. The race began and we all took off at our own paces. I crossed the finish line at 30:11, Kim around 30:30, Abby at 32 (a PR), Meighan at 33, and our friends Amy & Natalie around 35. During the race I remember noticing the lack of lung capacity as I tried to take a couple good, deep breaths. I know my body will never be the same again. I can't be sad that my 5K PR (24:58) might never be broken. My friend told me I have to think of my race times as my new PPR (Post surgery/cancer Personal Record) which is true. When I saw 30:11 on my watch I was happy, and proud. I've come a long way this past year, and I know it's only going to get better. I feel blessed to have so much love and support, and to be healthy enough to run races... and just to be alive!

The scariest day of my life. I was scheduled for a CT scan at LDS Hospital at 10am. I dropped my kids off at my friend's, Selena's house and drove the 12 minutes to the hospital. I checked in for my appt and remember sitting in the waiting room, and actually typed in a status update on Facebook. It said "</span></span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/jamieschip"><span style="color: #355a98; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Lucida Grande';"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Jamie Call Schipaanboord</span></span></b></span></a></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">is getting a CT scan of my lungs. Hoping we can figure out what's causing my breathing problems." If I would have know it was cancer, I would have never posted that. All along I thought my pneumonia from 7 months before hadn't completely cleared. I never thought I had something seriously wrong with me. Never. I was a healthy, active 29 year old mom of 3. There was no way it could be 'serious.' The CT scan ended and I was back picking my kids up by 11am. Around noon I told the kids we were going to make a DI run and drop off some of our old clothes. We were in the DI parking lot when my phone rang. I had been out of the hospital less than 90 minutes and my dr was calling me. I answered the phone in a chipper voice, and asked if we finally found out what was wrong with me. He said "Yes. We did." Then I exclaimed "Ohhh, good!! I'm so glad we finally have some answers." He asked if I could come meet him at his office soon. I mentioned I was at the DI and only 5 minutes away and so he told me to come over right then and he would be waiting. I called Jake to let him know they had some answers and he asked if I wanted him there. I said "No. I'll just call you when I'm done." Jake was 20 minutes away and I figured the appointment wouldn't take long. I wasn't worried. I brought all three kids into the office with me and the first thing my dr said when he saw me was "You brought your kids?!" Even then it still wasn't clicking. We walked into his office and the kids sat down in the chairs against the wall and I sat in the chair next to Dr. Williams' computer. He pulled up the scan of my lungs on the screen and pointed to my collapsed middle lobe. "See this, it's a mass blocking your middle lobe, and it is collapsed. That's why you've had trouble breathing." Even then, I still wasn't getting it. I told him "Oh. So, how do we fix it?" Then he said it was a tumor. He hesitated for a second or two, then said the dreaded C-word. Cancer. Right then my life flashed before my eyes. He couldn't have just said what I thought he said. What?!! I had never smoked. I took care of my body. I exercised 5 days a week. I ate healthy. CANCER?? I was shocked. Stunned. I looked over at my kids and Emma and Josh weren't paying attention at all to our conversation, but my 7 year old, Ben was. He had a concerned look on his face. He could tell whatever we were discussing was serious. I had to be strong for my kids. I couldn't burst out into tears. I held it in. My dr's lip started to quiver a little bit and his eyes got teary. That pushed me to my breaking point and I managed to cry 3 or 4 tears but quickly wiped them away. Then I asked "What's next?" Dr. Williams told me about a bronchoscopy I was going to need done asap so we could know the extent of the situation. The rest of our conversation was kind of a blur. I remember he said he was available any time if I needed to talk, and that was that. I walked out of his office, holding my little 2 year old's hand. I felt like someone had just punched me HARD in the gut, over and over and over again. I was lightheaded and shaky. I didn't know if I would puke or pass out. I kept walking. The four of us made our way to our van and I opened the door and let them all in. I made sure they were all buckled, and closed their door. I climbed into the driver's seat, shut my door, and slowly pulled out my cell phone. My hand was trembling and I could barely dial Jake's number. He picked up within 2 rings and I just began to sob. I could barely get the C-word out. All I could hear from the other end was "NO! Jamie. NOOOO!!" I told him I would meet him at home and he left work immediately. Next I called my dad. Again, I could barely get the words out. My dad was very calm and that helped me. I got off the phone with him and right away my dr called and asked how I was holding up. It touched my heart that he would call so soon and check up on me. I asked him if he was certain this was cancer, that this wasn't some huge mistake. He assured me that he would not have told me and made me go through this if he wasn't sure. He said that quite a few doctors/specialists had looked at my scan and all agreed on the diagnosis. After our phone call ended, I started the car and tried to drive. It's amazing I made it home without getting in an accident. Tears filled my eyes, my vision was blurred. I could barely see straight. As I pulled into our driveway, I called my Grammy. She was in California at the time and I felt bad that I would be putting a damper on her trip, but with her bout with breast cancer (twice) I knew she would be able to say words of comfort I needed to hear, which she did. After our call ended, I made my way into the house and plopped on the couch. Jake got home within minutes and we just hugged and cried. I sent a quick email to my 5 close girlfriends, letting them know the news. Then I called my good friend, Susi and told her. Within the hour Jake's mom arrived. Then a few minutes more Jake's dad. Jake and his dad gave me a blessing. We all talked and cried, and felt some hope as Jake's dad told us he had done some research and talked to another dr about my cancer, telling me this really was the "best cancer to have." I spoke to my mom when she got home from work and she provided some calming words. That afternoon it seemed like my news spread like wildfire and within an hour I had tons of people calling, texting, and emailing. Flowers were delivered from Jake's work. People were so sweet. That night was Emma's dress rehearsal for her recital so we stopped by Rumbi's to pick up dinner before we went to her rehearsal. I ate a few bites but could barely swallow them. I felt so sick to my stomach from nerves, worry, and stress. I watched Emma dance and remember thinking "These people around me have no clue I'm sick. I don't look sick. But I have cancer." It was such a weird feeling. When we got home there was a message on our answering machine from my mom. This time she was more emotional, saying she knew it would be okay and she would be willing to do whatever we needed. (She lives two states away and ended up spending 6 weeks of her summer with us, helping me, Jake, and the kids while I recovered from surgery.) Our Bishop came over and checked on us, making sure we were okay and asked if we needed anything. I remember him telling us that I had just joined an "exclusive club" with many, many other people... amazing, strong people. That night I remember Jake praying for our family and specifically for me, and crying. Then he put Ben and Emma to bed and I went upstairs to take Josh. I rocked him in our lazyboy recliner. I began singing him a song and couldn't make it through one line before I started to cry. Horrible thoughts came into my head that I could die and my kids wouldn't even know who I was. That I would never see my kids grown. That my 2 year old wouldn't know his mommy. Oh, I bawled. I bawled like a baby. That night I was drained. June 10, 2010 was the worst day of my life.</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiypOa8fI-hJn4sRN5CyoZFG3s8tqSpLJYtll2xA451GqLel6aFvLSdO5R45-6VrRvqdK2zGlHk0qrJM3bhEaqhSFoairO2jCbJSlwdXTqgIMPkLcPd02B995o2jgnTEyxEosvFrUSfjZRO/s1600/Untitled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiypOa8fI-hJn4sRN5CyoZFG3s8tqSpLJYtll2xA451GqLel6aFvLSdO5R45-6VrRvqdK2zGlHk0qrJM3bhEaqhSFoairO2jCbJSlwdXTqgIMPkLcPd02B995o2jgnTEyxEosvFrUSfjZRO/s320/Untitled.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font: 11.0px Lucida Grande; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 13.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Thankfully everything moved very quickly after that. We had the bronchoscopy the following Monday at LDS Hospital. We found out it was a carcinoid tumor, over 2cm, connected to my middle and possibly my lower lobes and it needed to come out, along with some of my right lung. June 23rd I had a bi-lobectomy, taking 70% of my right lung, and June 25th after my labs came back, I was declared cancer-free. What a crazy year it's been. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Hoping and praying this was just a small bump in my road of life and I'll be cancer-free forever! </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I'm thankful for capable doctors.

Follow through today so you can click that last X! I hope everyone was able to get something positive out of this experience. <a href="http://schipfam.blogspot.com/2011/02/i-need-help.html">HERE</a> is my original post, so those of you tuning in for the first time can get caught up. My main purpose in doing this was to create a place of support, motivation, and inspiration. Hopefully you pushed yourself a little (or a lot!) these last 100 days and discovered potential that you might not have known was there. My mantra is "I can do hard things." When life sucks, I try to remind myself that "I can do hard things." Doesn't mean it's easy, but I know I can do it, whether it's resisting that cookie, running a 10K, or beating lung cancer. We don't have to be weak... we can choose to be strong. When I decided to change my life forever 3 years ago, it was hard. I'm not going to lie. There were days I felt like quitting. 170 lbs. My body hurt. I felt ashamed of what I had done to myself. I didn't feel beautiful and didn't know how anyone else could either. Such destructive thinking. I had hope, though, that I could change... and I did. I just took one day at a time, one choice at a time. Eventually it got easier and easier. In 8 months I lost 35 lbs. and have maintained for nearly 2 1/2 years. I went from a tight size 14 to a size 4/6, running half marathons, eating healthy, and feeling happier than I've ever felt my entire life. Being healthy is WORTH IT. Don't waste another day with regrets. Don't wait until tomorrow to make those changes. Do it today! </b></div><div style="font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b></b></span></div><div style="font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b>I hope this challenge was a jumpstart for a lot of you to get you to your ultimate health goals, whatever they may be.

My anxiety almost got the better of me but I had to finish that race to reach my goal and I did it without great pain, which meant a lot. I got up the day after the race with little pain, just pain from where my seat rubbed, so that doesn't count! Thanks, Jamie! We couldn't have done it without you!</span><br />

I realized this a few days after the challenge started, so I picked 2 new goals: Count calories- record on <a href="http://livestrong.com/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">livestrong.com</span></a>, and run 6 miles in under an hour during my baby's 6th month. I have worked hard, and there is more work to be done- but I feel good about how things have gone. We are eating healthier around here. (Dave has lost weight too- just eating the healthier meals that I have been serving!) My baby is 6 1/2 months and I can run 6 miles in under an hour. I have lost 16 lbs and 13 inches. I am under my pre-baby #4 weight, and 3 lbs shy of being under my pre-baby # 3 weight. Still more I'd like to lose----I'll keep working on it! :) Here's to the next 100!!!<br />

So as far as your 100 day challenge goes, it was from about 4 months to 7 months postpartum. Before the challenge, I kind of ran every now and then, but not very regularly. When I did run, it was maybe a mile or 2 at the most. My pace was somewhere around 11:00, but I also wasn't really pushing myself, and I was running on my treadmill which sucks. I go a lot faster and farther outside than inside on a treadmill. Anyway, crushed my goal of 3 miles in 30 minutes by coming in at 26:42 and I lost some weight and inches along the way.</span></div><div style="font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px; text-align: center;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Pre-pregnancy- 112-115 lbs. and a size 2</span></div><div style="font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">39 weeks Pregnant- 153 lbs.

And more than anything, I have found hope that the hard things are doable and might even get a bit better soon. Thanks for helping make 100 of the last 100+ days at this difficult posting a bit better. I am looking forward to setting new goals for my next 100 days.</span></div></b><br />

<b>Bethany</b>- I have totally FAILED at this challenge! I'm sorry! I should have known better than to commit my pregnant self to some kind of health challenge. I'm due with my #5 next week and not only that, but we are selling our house and have to move in 3 weeks! I have enjoyed reading your blog and I really am impressed by you. Thanks to Babycenter for helping me find such an inspirational person! Good luck to you! (Bethany, don't think of this as a failure. You've been more conscious of your health, and once your life gets more calm, I know you will accomplish whatever goals you set for yourself. You can do it! And when you're ready to jump back in, I'll be here for support any time.

Of course the first half of the challenge was just trying to get through pregnancy! But my big goal there was to keep my weight gain low. Initially less than 15 pounds, then nothing. I ended up gaining 4 pounds during the last three weeks. I was happy with that. Within two weeks I was able to get to a scale and I was down 15 pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight. Again I was happy with that! But where I felt I have succeeded with my goals specific to the 100 day challenge is that I have continued to exercise whenever possible and track my food daily. </span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">During our recent trip to Utah I had a goal to lose a few more pounds but I'm pretty sure I gained. I tracked for about half the trip, but it was hard to keep track of my pen and paper consistenly! I'm also still struggling to find the balance for my caloric intake while nursing. Hopefully I'll get that figured out really soon. </span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Finally another goal I made during this 100 day challenge was to participate in a 5K with my sister, which we did Memorial Day! Despite the pouring rain, snow and having to bring a newborn with us....we did it and I even jogged quite a bit of it! We weren't in it for time at all, just the goal to do something together, but I was glad we did it even despite the terrible weather!</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Thanks so much Jamie for the push to work harder toward a healthier life!

But I decided I need to reframe my accomplishments: I rode a 75 mile ride in may, then while returning from a 40 mile training ride I crashed 2 weeks before my century I felt like I had a really slow recovery with massive headaches, ribs out of place, and vertigo. I debated selling my registration, but decided to power through and do my best! So I rode 70 miles, about half with out holding on to the handle bars as to keep my headache at bay. So Jamie my ode to you is that you taught me through your 100 day challenge and your wonderful example to:</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">See my accomplishments through the clouds!</span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Never give up! </span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Try my best, despite the challenges we face! </span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">We always have another chance to meet our goals! </span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Thank you Jamie!

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH RUNNING! I also did a week long cleanse to kick off some healthier eating. I noticed such a difference in my energy as well as my cravings. I will be doing it again soon. Its a rough week but in the end the results are worth. I like this cleanse because although it was very restrictive in what you can eat on certain days. It wasn't just some liquid diet and I didn't have to purchase anything special or out of the ordinary for it. I am pumped for the Hood to Coast in August and hope I can reach my goal. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN8TLlYVFG0L0AlXPQiMzRgKnWEJAIzna_5bDwTs1t-WeAdRT4juQoIQmKZTwo-vOJpxG0kN0TuMYJH07iJjgl95CYHYnFPjSLPriHEzivGCupMi4WPdvVnDX5jbmDLWkPpn04RkiJtwKu/s1600/Heidi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN8TLlYVFG0L0AlXPQiMzRgKnWEJAIzna_5bDwTs1t-WeAdRT4juQoIQmKZTwo-vOJpxG0kN0TuMYJH07iJjgl95CYHYnFPjSLPriHEzivGCupMi4WPdvVnDX5jbmDLWkPpn04RkiJtwKu/s320/Heidi.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b>Heidi (middle)</b>- Overall I did very well at the challenge. On days that I ordinarily might have taken a pass, like after working a night shift, I still hopped on the </span>recumbent bike<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> and spun away 10 miles. I don't have my calendar with me - we're on vacation at the moment - but I hit personal records for mileage each of the last three months, each time clearing 100 miles of running and close to that on the bike. I didn't do so great with the weights....bah. Once I started tracking calories on <a href="http://livestrong.com/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Livestrong.com</span></a>, I was able to drop 5 pounds within a 20 day span. I intend to continue this to get down to a solid 133-135. Right now I'm at 139-140, and fitting in all of the pants that were getting too tight for me. I also finally busted the 4 hour barrier at the Ogden Marathon a few weeks ago and felt great at the end. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiczR-vKKCa8xOQkALtw6RJDyjUR_WTIpxtXYiUKiEvh2tu3eV4T8pEAPKAn8yVWrKVx3bs4U7PjPaGe43MeGHZnWvvqMxcRaBCs_XDq5YB0wP2-x5JmurdD1SI8CMX3igBIi5rkXLswvI9/s1600/Jake.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiczR-vKKCa8xOQkALtw6RJDyjUR_WTIpxtXYiUKiEvh2tu3eV4T8pEAPKAn8yVWrKVx3bs4U7PjPaGe43MeGHZnWvvqMxcRaBCs_XDq5YB0wP2-x5JmurdD1SI8CMX3igBIi5rkXLswvI9/s320/Jake.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><strong>Jake</strong> - I can't say that I met my goal perfectly. I did not, in fact, run three days a week with the dog consistently throughout the challenge. I would say I averaged two days a week, and a lot of it I ditched the dog so I could get ready for the big 5K. I can say that this is the best shape I've been in for quite a while and I almost, so close, was able to run the entire 5K without stopping. Which means I did have to stop and walk once, really, but just a couple months ago I couldn't even go a mile so this is good. I'm going to keep it up, and get the dog more involved, so I'm a new man.</div><div style="font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px;"><br />

This is the first time since high school that I've worked out regularly for longer than maybe a month. And I not only reached my 500 calorie per workout goal, I sometimes doubled it. I worked out 5-6 days a week for the whole challenge. And to do this, I've been getting up every weekday at 5 a.m. I am so NOT a morning person, that this in itself is pretty big for me. I feel lots better about myself. I didn't lose any weight, but I'm happy where I'm at since I am looking more toned. I took measurements and I actually gained 3/4" on my hips/butt and a 1/2" on my thighs. BUT, it is muscle. Muscle that I've never before had, so I don't feel bad about that! Thanks for the inspiration! I really needed it. And because your 100 day challenge was ending, I started P90X yesterday. Hopefully I'll have great results. Awesome results from so many people...and all thanks to your challenge. </span></div></div></b></div><div style="font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px;"><br />

I trained and kept to a 4 day a week schedule for the "Run for Risa" on 4/23. It was at Hagg Lake and was one of the first nicest days of the year! The run was awesome, even though there were hills I felt great and was happy with my time of 31:22. Probably my favorite 5k so far! I continued to run and got a group of people together between church and friends, I think about 12 of us total to run the Starlight Run - 5k on 6/4. It just happened to be the hottest day of the year so far. Some of the girls were nursing injuries but we all pushed thru and finished it! We had a lot of fun doing it together and we are looking in the future for upcoming runs we can do together!

You really helped inspire me to get going- especially on rainy, yucky days when I didn't want to do anything. Sometimes I would go out and run, for a while I used a treadmill and I also did some exercise videos inside too. My goal was to work out four times a week and I sometimes had to work out twice </span>on Saturday<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> to make it, but I really did great in the beginning. Then, I was sick for a bunch of the middle weeks and only worked out a few times, but I am happy that I am ending strong as well. I overcame my fear of riding my road bike (I had an embarassing crash two years ago) and have been riding, swimming and running. I am excited for the triathlons I have this summer. I'm still not where I want to be, but I ran a five mile loop with Dallin in the jogger one day, can easily do 2 miles runing now, am finding new ways to workout with kids, and am building my strength and confidence. Thanks for everything!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHPE4cWA3dfYMVtMbcRaHYh1or_ycfppZ48oOCyjAm_swRfzh5-XjDR3ko5HKyFeYAQuGk_ppCztYA0UhXkUF-6QLXql_xTHMLSXmsTurCvAEsgLlxz0ZhXHgxXVaYKizhC4SdlHCsRolZ/s1600/Selena.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHPE4cWA3dfYMVtMbcRaHYh1or_ycfppZ48oOCyjAm_swRfzh5-XjDR3ko5HKyFeYAQuGk_ppCztYA0UhXkUF-6QLXql_xTHMLSXmsTurCvAEsgLlxz0ZhXHgxXVaYKizhC4SdlHCsRolZ/s320/Selena.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><b>Selena (middle)</b>- <span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Thank you for the encouragement, Jamie! I was doing really well in the middle of the challenge. I was even able to complete the bench step aerobics DVD - Advanced Athletic Step that I worked so hard on. The month of May became very busy and I wasn't able to work out as much as I wanted but I still tried to make time. In June I'm going to walk around the track at Hatch Park 3x a week for an hour while my kids are taking Recreation Classes. Then in July I'll start up with Bench Step again. The reason I like Bench Step so much is the DVD's I have include cardio, ab workouts, strength training, weights and stretches. Most of my DVD's are by a girl named Cathe Friedrich. She is awesome!</span></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjfEIxB6F4YJjlcL4Br1VfuyTQp-OjoA70522hM9gXw1GY40Mgc0vd7Z9YNtGL6LXebskOb42oFbWlYaTGSKRP7olkFqpQ6F_7R1fEoc1sDZpjKFovSQk3CBKYPuNegv3AiT7xQp3E839f/s1600/Shana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjfEIxB6F4YJjlcL4Br1VfuyTQp-OjoA70522hM9gXw1GY40Mgc0vd7Z9YNtGL6LXebskOb42oFbWlYaTGSKRP7olkFqpQ6F_7R1fEoc1sDZpjKFovSQk3CBKYPuNegv3AiT7xQp3E839f/s320/Shana.jpg" width="111" /></a></div><div style="font: 13px Times New Roman; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b>Shana</b>- I don't have 'before and after' pictures but I do have this one take just a couple days ago after hiking </span>Ensign Peak<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> in Salt Lake. I actually started my workout program a few months before you started your whole thing but joined up with you anyway as a motivation. I reached my weight goal a couple months ago and while I've been working on keeping the weight off I've also been working on toning my body -- I think this picture of me shows that. I've totally scaled down my thigh area and increased the tone in my abs and arms. I'm loving the way I look and feel, I am skinnier and in better shape than I have ever been and it feels awesome.

I have been getting up at 5 everyday and getting some study time in to prepare for the day. I have been stepping up my role as mom and wife, and am seeing some real improvements. Due to scheduling with Jer, the gym has not worked out so well. So i changed my focus. I have been trying to work outside in my yards (front and back) and tame this wild mess we call a home. I have been putting in a lot of hours on weekends, and at least an hour every day. May not sound like a lot, but pulling stumps is hard for me. We actually have a back yard that the kids want to play in now. I have set up a summer plan, with friend support to step up the fitness goals. So it is slower than I wanted, but I need to learn patience with myself. Thank you so much for inspiring me and so many others. This challenge has kick started me!</span><br />

I lost 5 lbs. which is HUGE for me. I was a solid 138-140 when the challenge started, and now I'm 133-134. I lost 1/4" from my neck, 1/4" from my chest (don't really like that one so much), nearly 1/2" from each arm, 1" from my waist, 1 1/4" from my hips, 1" from each thigh. I was a small 8/big 6 on Day 1, and am now a small 6/big 4. Eventually I want to get down to a small 4 and I know I'll get there in a few more months. I deadlifted 200 lbs. during this challenge, something I've never done until now. My fastest 5K was 32:15 in February, and during this challenge I ran a 5K in 29:54. I ran my first post-lung surgery and post-cancer race, the American Lung Association's "Fight for Air Run/Walk" on June 4th. I ran the 10K (6.2 miles) in 1:01. This was a huge accomplishment for me, especially when a year ago I didn't know if I would ever be able to run long distances again. I also signed up for the Hobble Creek Half Marathon... my favorite race and the one I had to <a href="http://schipfam.blogspot.com/2010/08/facing-reality.html">miss last year when I was recovering from my surgery</a>. The big day is August 20th and I can't wait! </span><br />

</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><b>My Daily Update</b>: Boy, today has been busy. I didn't get to bed until midnight last night. I woke up at 4:45am so I could pick up some of my neighbors and get to the 6am session at the temple for our June RS enrichment activity. After the session we all ate breakfast together. I got home at 9am, went to the bank, took Ben to basketball at 10am, got to the gym at 10:15am. I ran a mile on the treadmill, did 20 minutes at level 12 on the stair climber, then did 20 minutes of upper body and 10 minutes of abs and a quick stretch. Picked Ben up at 12pm, came home and worked on more studio billing, emails and phone calls, picked up Ben's friend at 3:30pm, picked up 2 of Emma's friends for dance, dropped off Ben and his friend at the school to play basketball, worked at the studio from 4-5:15pm, came home and finished the billing by 7:30pm, made dinner, put the kids to bed, ate dinner, spoke with my parents on the phone, then tried calling Naomi but she was busy at a bunco party. And now I'm here... writing my last regular challenge post. Whew! Hard to believe the end is here. As I've been reading the updates that have come in the past few days, I am just filled with so much joy. Lots of good things have happened the past 100 days and I can't wait to share some of these successes with all of you tomorrow.

</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><b>My Daily Update</b>: Ran the Fight for Air 10K this morning. Jake and I woke up at 5:40am and left around 6:20am. My friends, Meighan and Emily met us at Highland High School and I boarded the bus with them while Jake stayed and waited for the 5K bus. We made it up to Olympus Hills Mall around 7:15am and hit the porta-potties. Around 7:35am we headed to the starting line and got to chatting. All of a sudden the runners just took off, no countdown, gun, nothing. Emily, our speedracer, took off and Meighan and I started out together. I hadn't even turned on my iPod or my Garmin, which was really frustrating. I shuffled along for a second waiting for my Garmin to locate the satellites and start timing but it was taking forever because I was moving. I stopped running and waited on the side of the road for my Garmin to start. I wasted over a minute in this process which was really annoying, but oh well. Finally started my Garmin and I was on my way. There was no pad to step on to activate the timing chip, which was strange. Instead they just went by the time everyone started running which gave me a disadvantage since I didn't really start moving until over a minute after everyone took off. The first mile of the race there was a headwind. It almost blew my hat off and I had to hold it down a few times. The hardest part of the race was just before the 3 mile marker, coming off the Parley's trail. It was a pretty steep incline and my lungs and legs didn't love that, but I'm happy to say I ran the whole hill, and after that it was downhill or flat for the rest of the way. Right at the 5K point (Tanner Park) I saw some runners getting off the 5K bus and Jake happened to be one of them. Great timing. He ran along side of me for a few seconds and we chatted for a minute, then I kept running and he headed to the bathroom. At about 4 1/2 miles I saw a sign that said "Hip & Humble This Way. GO JAMIE!" It totally made me smile and gave me a little extra oomph. As I ran the last 20 seconds toward the finish line, Emily was there cheering me on, telling everyone around her "That girl has one lung! Her name is Jamie. GO JAMIE!" Emily got a bunch of strangers to clap for me and I actually got a little choked up. It was awesome. I found out later that Emily had made FIVE signs and posted them all along the course last night, but because I was so "in the zone", I only read the one and barely saw another. I crossed the finish line and stopped my Garmin. It said 6.02 miles at 59 minutes. My official chip time said 1:02, but I'm saying 1:01 (maybe even under) because I didn't start with everyone. Not too bad for my first post-surgery race. Emily came in at 52:41, Meighan came in at 1:05, and we think Jake came in around 33 minutes for the 5K. Our other Team Jamie members (Chandra, Matt, and Tim) did great, too, all getting under 30 minutes for the 5K. You know, I'm proud of myself. There were times when I was really sucking air and could feel how tired my legs were, but overall I was able to push myself and I actually did better than I thought I would. Now it's time to get serious and start my training for the Hobble Creek Half Marathon in 2 1/2 months! So excited!</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />

Out of my three pregnancies I only worked out during my second one, and only until about 7 months then stopped. I can't imagine having four little ones to take care, being pg, and trying to move, and then trying to do this too. Hopefully once life gets a little less crazy for you, you can try to commit to your own challenge, and I would be more than willing to support you along the way!</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />

The fact you are in better shape now than you have ever been makes me so happy. The whole point of my challenge was to help others be healthier now than they were 3 months ago, and you have definitely done that, which makes me really proud. Way to make being healthy a higher priority!</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><b></b></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center;"><b>100 Day Challenge</b></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center;"><b>List of 73 Participants & Their Goals</b></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center;"><b>(Click "Read more")</b></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px; text-align: center;"></div><a name='more'></a><br />
