Thankful Thursday

December 8, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
While a marathon is an individual event it is not something that happens alone or without support. We are so grateful to be surrounded by tons of family and friends who support us more than they may even know. We wanted to thank you guys today for everything you have done to help us get through this year of races and to achieve this crazy goal. We love you all and are beyond thankful.

Quote from Matt Long's The Long Run which perfectly describes how White Rock Marathon went for us

Michael – I am not sure how you have put up with me for so long. Thank you for encouraging me and cheering me on since day one. You deal with the light switch on at 5 am, banging of the doors and waking you up to say bye when you are in deep sleep! You deal with my endless amounts of sweaty cloths and shoes all over the place without complaint! You have never once become annoyed or frustrated. You deal with my insane schedule, running not included, and are so flexible when I added all this into the mix. You are seriously my rock! You support me more than anyone ever has and I know that is not going anywhere. Mmmmmmmmm.

Brent – A big, huge thank you to you, honey!  You’ve endured my lame Friday nights so I could get up early and run Saturday mornings.  You’ve given up drinking wine with me in effort for me to be the most prepared that I can be for races.  You’ve had confidence in me and pushed me when I was down on myself.  You have been such a huge and needed support system for me this year and don’t it all without a single complaint! I love you so much for it! 🙂

Kate – Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the times you rescued just one or both of us on long runs!  For putting up with our stinky selves as we lay on the den floor in pain after our long runs! For your willingness to see us at races and organize getting the rest of our family together!  You’ve been such a big support for the two of us!  You’ve picked up slack for me in SO many ways when I was trying to squeeze in a workout before a family or social commitment!  You are the best big sister ever!

#FancyNancy – Mom, thank you so much for also being someone that came to our rescue and picked us up from a long run!  Thank you for the many prayers I know you’ve said for me and for Teal as we are out running whether it be a training run or a race!  I am so glad you’ve gotten to see me do a couple of races this year and seen me in action! Thanks for enduring cold temperatures for both of those and thank you for all of your support! Love you!

Bossman – Dad, Pops, JSL, you support me in so many ways…you put up with me going to yoga at lunch a lot! Leaving work a little early to make it in time to an expo for a race or head out of town for a race.  You encourage me in all of my races that I am running! Thank you so much for coming out and seeing me complete my first marathon!  Thanks for coming out there with one of your fancy cameras and catching us on film! You are the best! Love you!

Johnny – Hopefully you know that I have been thankful for you ever since I met you & Angie back in 2007!  Thank you for continuing to be there for me this year, for pushing me harder, having the confidence in me, being there when I need advice & just putting up with me in general!  I couldn’t imagine there being any other trainer out there as amazing as you are! Oh, and “not today, baby, not to today….it’s too cold!” 🙂

Will –  Thank you for always looking out for me and calling me out when I am being stubborn and for worrying about my knees even when I don’t.  I would not be anywhere close to where I am now without your help and encouragement every week. Thank you for pushing me beyond what I think I can do or even want to do. I truly feel like you care about me as a person and not just a client. You are consistent and motivating and I couldn’t ask for a better person to train with. Thank you so much for coming and cheering me on it means more to me then you can imagine.

Cynthia – Thank you for being my wake-up call, last text of the day to remind me to get up and my motivation to actually go! You make working out so much easier and more enjoyable at the crack of dawn. You are loyal, constant and such a good support system for me. You look out for me and keep me in the know! I am so glad that we have become friends and I thank you so much for everything you have done for me these past couple of years!

Bitner, Chase, Joe, Mary Alice & Zac – Running buddies!  Running races with each of you this year has been awesome!  We have loved having the opportunity to share those times with you and some of you actually do training runs with!  Hoping for many more runs together!  Each of you mean so much to us!

Ashley, Emily, Heidi, Brian & Jason – Or should we say @ciaobella7 @EmilyRatcliff @HeidiRuns @bmlueb @reigning1 – Twitter friends who became real life friends!  To the ladies – we did it!! We are marathoners!  Thank you for all your support, for the laughs, for sometimes freaking out with us and for being awesome friends!  To the guys – thank you for always supporting all of us ladies and reminding us that we can do it! You two are wonderful men. Heidi & Ashley, you married well!

Chris– I am so glad to have a fellow running buddy here at work. I have enjoyed every conversation we have had this year about running! You are an awesome person to just be able to complain, rant, discuss, and brag to. Thank you for being so encouraging and you are an inspiration to me. I say daily that I don’t know how you do all the running you do and the way you do it. Can’t wait to hear more and you are an awesome runner, coworker, and person.

Mandy, Josh & Meranda – We cannot believe you drove ALL the way over from Ft. Worth in the cold and horrible weather to see us run by for two seconds, but we are so grateful to you guys for doing that!  It was such an awesome surprise to see you! Love you guys!

Sommer, Edward, Lilia and Brad – Thank you for braving the elements, traffic, and crowds on Sunday to come watch us even though we know there are 10,000 other things you could have been doing. We truly loved seeing you at the finish line and it makes this experience so much better.

Bossman #2 -Thank you for dealing with my crazy Saturday work schedule and not complaining when I have to rearrange everything, your flexibility is awesome. Thank you for dealing with my tardiness due to long runs and all the whining I do while there. Thank you for texting me with your support and being there for me.

Aunt Neil & Uncle Fred – Thank you for your support & encouragement!  I appreciated the text messages on Sunday and heard you both tried to make it out to the lake to see me.  That means the world to me!  I am so lucky to have such great family members!

There are numerous other family members, friends and tweeps we have to thank for merely asking us about and encouraging us in our runs and races.  We hope you do not feel like you have been forgotten because we can assure you that you have not!  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

For Good Luck

December 3, 2011 by · 2 Comments

Yesterday we hit up the White Rock Marathon Expo!  It was fun – we stopped by the New Years Double booth and saw Libby.  We ran into Lesley as we waited to trying on some shirts.  Then we saw Heidi & Brian as we were on our search for The Rock!

We had to rub the White Rock for good luck –

 

Oh and don’t worry before we left we made sure Teal was registered as a girl! Haha  We got our bibs and Teal’s said MALE.  The gentleman getting our bibs for us kindly asked her, “have you had an operation recently?” HAHA  You better believe she’s going to add that “FE” to the beginning of that and made sure the race people know that she is a FEMALE in the 25-29 category not a MALE.

Happy Saturday! 🙂

Seven Things Thursday

December 1, 2011 by · 7 Comments
Well, Brigid over at Live, Breathe, Huzzah! tagged us in a blog and we loved the idea of sharing with readers 7 things about ourselves so here it goes:

1.  My name is Teal – after the Duck NOT the color – My grandfather insisted that the first girl in the family was to be named Teal because he loved the duck, which has a Teal band around its neck, and my grandmother had given him 4 boys and no girls. I was the first born girl in the Monthley family and thus how I got the name Teal- not because my parents were hippies!

source

2. I have an unhealthy obsession with Goldfish – I can’t stop eating them. If you give me a bag I will eat the entire thing. My students buy me goldfish for treats and I have to hide them in other teacher’s classrooms in an attempt to not eat them all. I cannot buy them and keep them in the house. They are like crack, but for real!

3.  I have only had 1 stitch ever in life – I was riding on the handlebars of my brother’s tricycle at age 5 and fell off hitting a brick. My mother RUSHED me to the hospital where I received 1, count them 1, stitch, leaving a very small star like scar on my forehead. Clearly I am a dare devil.

4.  My animals are named after PHISH music – My cat’s name is Harry Sullivan (although he prefers to be called Mr. Kitties) after the song Harry Hood and Sullivan taken from the song Ginseng Sullivan, and my dog is named Wilson after the song with the same title!

Mr. Kitties

Wilson

5.  Cars hate me – Here is what I have had to deal with… be jealous. 1988 Taurus (gas gauge used to leave me stranded all the time) 1996 Honda civic (timing belt issues, no air) 1978 Cutlass Sierra (stalled when you turned right…that was fun), 2000 Taurus (trunk camo-ducked taped and nailed down to stay closed) Ford Focus (flooded when it rained and broke down 5 times fully returned 1 month later), Ford Escape (driver door wouldn’t open, had to enter from the back seat), Volkswagen Jetta (nothing wrong!), Volkswagen Eos (wrecked !), currently Honda CRV- God help me! I don’t want anymore!

6.  I teach in a 100 year old classroom known as the hippy room – It’s big, but slightly scary, painted hippy wall, the black hole to god knows where, a black that was purple, green and yellow shelf, sponge ceiling and I love it!

7.  When I was 6 and 7 years old I shared a room with my younger brother, Brad. We slept in bunk beds the entire time and to make it better my parents painted my top half of the room pink and the bottom half of the room blue to please us both.

***

1.  My name is Beth, but my family calls me Beeper – I am the youngest of 5 cousins on one side and I have to assume that when my brother, Scott & cousin, Todd would come in from playing and ask “Where’s Beth?” being little kids they probably said Bef.  IT was around this time that the Wendy’s commercial was out where the two old ladies ask “Where’s the Beef?” sooo then they started calling me Beef.  Thanks to my mom she told them they needed to rethink that because what 13 year old girl would want to be called Beef?  It got changed to Beep/Beeper and I am still called that today!  [Please note that this is not an invitation to call me Bef because a 28 year old female doesn’t want to be called that either :)]

source

2.  My hair use to be straight – That’s right my hair was straight until I hit puberty 🙂 and it got curly.  Well, except for the year I didn’t know it was becoming curly and I’d still try and straighten it but then half way through I’d get tired of that because it was so long that it was just a big fro and awkward. (I am reeeeally sad I don’t have a picture to show you on this one, but if I find one soon I’ll put it up!)

3.  I homeschooled for 1.5 years – Again, I was the youngest of 5 cousins on one side and we all went to the same private school here in Dallas.  My aunt even taught there and I (as well as my two siblings) had her as our 8th grade History/English teacher.  After my sophomore year of high school I needed a change so I home schooled by watching videos through a program in Florida and ended up squeezing my senior year into 7 months to graduate in December 2000.  I might have graduated early, but I then took an eternity in college. 🙂

4.  I once went bobsledding – Ok, fine it wasn’t REAL bobsledding, but one of my all-time favorite college memories was when my roommates and I decided to go bobsled down the stairs in our duplex.  Then two of us when together needless to say I got a bump on my head and she somehow got a scratched leg.

The only pic I have of me in the "bobsled" after I'd gone down the stairs and run into the front door 🙂

5.  My first job was at a toy store – when I started homeschooling I got a job at Noodle Kidoodle which was then bought out and became Zany Brainy.  Loved that job and worked there for 3  years.  It eventually closed. 🙁

6.  I love Children’s books – It was probably working at the toy store that gave me my love for teaching children & children’s books in general.  I use to lead story time at the store and was in charge of book club for 4-5 year olds for two summers.  I even dressed up as the mouse from If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.  It’s a dream of mine to actually write my own Children’s Book!

7. I love to sing! – I was in choir growing up.  I use to sing on the Praise & Worship team at my church.  I took vocal lessons, but now you can find me jamming out to songs in my car OR occasionally singing my go to Karaoke song – Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman

Singing at my dad's 4th of July party

And there you have it – 7 things about each of us! 🙂

We’d like to extend the opportunity for some of our fellow bloggers to do the same, so get busy!

Playing Catch Up: Running & Wedding

November 30, 2011 by · 4 Comments

Normally we’ve kept you up to speed on our long runs and how they went.  Our last two were far from awesome as far as running goes. 🙂

In early November Beth had a plan for one of our long weekend runs, but then we decided to run the DRC Half so it couldn’t be that weekend.  The next weekend we ran Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio, so it couldn’t happen THAT weekend. The following weekend we were due to put in a 12 mile run and Beth had a little surprise for Teal staged in our first 3 miles, specifically at a gas station, which we’ve had to stop at before when starting out a long run.  Beth’s fiance was in on the surprise and suppose to hide until we got close and then kind of pop out. =)  I’ll just let the pictures tell the story:

Way too blurry but here we come running

And out pops Brent with the surprise!!

 

Haha, he literally jumped out from behind two telephone poles and scared the crap out of Teal!  On and off as we kept running one of us would be chuckling about her scream when he jumped out.

I am so excited to have Teal stand up there with me on my wedding day!  While it sometimes feels like just yesterday that we met and in reality it’s going on 6 years, we have been through a lot together!  Especially after Sunday when we finish our first marathon together! 🙂  Thanks to Brent for helping me ask her! He’s so awesome to get up early and wait for us to run by!

Back to the running aspect of this day –  Beth was excited to get to the gas station for a break – already not feeling it for the day. 🙁  But we started going again on our normal route and somewhere right around the 6th mile Beth got light headed and started to walk.  Teal kept going a bit further and then came back to meet up with Beth.  I don’t think either of us felt exceptionally great out there, and we talked about how we felt like our bodies where screaming at us “When are we going to start tapering??”  It might not have physically been a great run, but at least it is a run we will always remember!

For a little bit more of a wedding update, the first weekend in November Beth & Brent along with some other members of their family went and scouted out wedding venues.  And then that Monday booked their wedding for October 27, 2012 at the Old Red in downtown Dallas!  Which will mean they will be engaged for exactly one year since he proposed October 27, 2011.  That same day Beth asked her sister to be her Maid of Honor!

And of course all the things listed on the right side of that photo were purchased and put into a gift bag to go with all of that!  Hopefully those items will help her to survive this year! 😉

From the first moment of ever thinking about getting married I knew my sister would be my Maid of Honor!  I am pretty sure I’d be lost in life without her!  I am SO truly blessed with an amazing & beautiful sister that has not only been a sister but also a friend to me!

Can you guess which one of us is older?

Two other ladies, who I have had the honor to stand up with them at their weddings, are going to get to be there for me and my big day as well! 🙂 You have probably seen us mention Mandy & Rebekah A LOT in our blog (they kind of happen to be very important & special friends to both of us).  We threw Rebekah a baby shower in October along with Mandy.  It was Mandy’s wedding in February that took the two of us to Puerto Vallarata.  Beth met Mandy & Rebekah in college and who knew at the initital meetings of those two awesome ladies that 9 years later we would still be friends – friends forever!  The three of us have done SO MUCH together!  We’ve traveled to Mexico, Dominican Republic, Canada, Vegas, and some other domestic destinations.  They are two ladies that I can and do turn to for everything!  Somewhere back in 2005 a tradition for the 3 of us started where we would take a picture with a green drink.  It came from sharing a weird green colored drink at the Star Trek bar in the Hilton in Vegas in 2005 and then green beers for St. Patty’s day in 2006.  We have kept the tradition going –

Rebekah's Wedding in 2007

Mandy's Wedding in 2011

 

Both of these pictures were actually used in the card I sent them and underneath them on the front of the card said “Will you help me finish the collection…” and then the inside said “…and do me the honor of being a bridesmaid in my wedding?”  CanNOT wait to have a green drink  picture on October 27, 2012!!

Then the weekend before Thanksgiving Beth went and found her wedding dress! 🙂  And this past Saturday all four of the ladies mentioned in this blog threw Beth & Brent an engagement party!  It has been a whirlwind of a month and cannot be more thankful for these ladies!

Dallas Turkey Trot

November 23, 2011 by · 6 Comments

Happy pre-Thanksgiving! To all of our readers who are traveling we wish you safe travel, and to those who get to stay put where you are – yay, so do we!!

And it’s for that very reason we get to participate in tomorrow’s 44th Dallas Turkey Trot. Not only are we going to participate as runners in the 8 mile race, but we will also be participating in setting a new Guinness World Record of the largest gathering of people dressed as turkeys! 🙂

Our turkey costumes are not completely finished (that’ll happen tonight), but with these pictures you can get the idea of just how we’ll look!

20111123-073258.jpg

20111123-073330.jpg

20111123-073350.jpg

If you want to know exactly what we look like IN the costumes, well then, check back here on the blog with us tomorrow! 🙂

We ran the 8 mile at the Turkey Trot last year – Oh boy! What. a. mess. that was! We waited until the last minute to use the bathrooms and just quickly lined up. Then we dodged like we had never dodged before around groups of walkers and people with their dogs. Now there’s nothing wrong with walking or doing a race with your dog, but when you’re at a race and there’s no protocol for making it so people who are running it seriously can do just that….Well, I believe the great people who put on this race heard everyone’s cries last year because this year the timed runners get to start 5 minutes earlier!

Last year our results were –

Teal: 1:25:07
Beth: 1:14:23

Hopefully we can beat our old times tomorrow! Then we’ll be rushing home to get ready for our Thanksgiving celebration with each of our families!

The only downside to running the Turkey Trot is missing the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but the mimosa’s afterwards should more than make up for that. 🙂

Three Going on Ten

November 22, 2011 by · 7 Comments

Three years ago today Michael and I “finally” got married! It’s weird to celebrate it in a way because it almost seems insignificant compared to the time we have actually been together. I met Michael in the 7th grade and we have always been attached in some way!

It's blurry but you get the idea!- 7th Grade

We have been through some crazy things, crazy styles, events, and ups and downs. Most of the time its life and we do what we can to make it the best for us! Not always pretty but always real!

I had the following quote read on my wedding day by my brother, who married us and I think it basically sums us up – here it is.

“What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?”

“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but Really loves you, then you become Real.”

“Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit.

“Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.”

“Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?”

“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get all loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

Happy Anniversary- Love you Michael- mmmmmmmmmmmmm

– Teal

The Other Parts of #RnRSA Weekend

November 18, 2011 by · 6 Comments

It’s probably a good thing that the two of us were the only ones traveling together to Austin/San Antonio because we might seriously annoy someone else. Ha.  The plan was for Beth to head over to Teal’s and take off from there, well, then Beth had to run home first, and when she got to Teal’s house Teal was actually in the process of switching cable providers. Ha 🙂  Would you want to kill us right now if you were traveling with us?

Then we had to go pick up Teal’s #TeamCindy shirt, oh but first we stopped and got coffee!  We both wake up so early all the time that we needed something to keep us awake during the drive besides our incessant chatting.  After getting the shirt we decided to get dinner and why not just go ahead and sit down and eat while we are at it??  I think we were out of the door of Baker Brothers by like 7:15 and we hit the road!  Would you want to kill us now?

Oh, wait, we need gas! Haha, we made it to Austin a little bit before 11:00 p.m. to our friend Mary Alice’s cute little house! Thanks again for letting us stay with you!  We got all caught up on life and made it to bed right before midnight.  Now that Teal joined Sunstone Yoga again we decided the perfect way to start our Saturday morning would be by attending a Fire 60 class, so off we went to yoga, shower, get breakfast and then pick Mary Alice up to head to San Antonio.

I’d say the highlight of our Saturday was lunch at The Cove!  Not only because The Cove has some de-lish food (get the fish tacos and go ahead and get a side of sweet potato fries – you won’t regret it), but also because of the great company we had to dine with there!  Beth was really excited because her cousin, Chase, was driving in from Houston to meet us and run the half with us!

Do you see any family resemblance?

Sadly that is the ONLY picture we took at The Cove, but we finally got to meet @UltraNinjaRunnr and @theASGwifey a.k.a. Greg and Fiona!  Somehow we’ve all managed to not meet each other yet even though we live in the same metroplex, oh well, glad it finally happened!  We met @RunDaTad a.k.a. Dat – somehow we missed that you didn’t live in DFW?? Ha, always just assumed that – silly us making assumptions! And a San Antonio local, @joeguinn who was going to be running his first full – hope it went well for you, Joe!  AND we finally got to meet our tweep @Ohkaylouise a.k.a. Kristen who had come all the way from Sonoma, CA to run the half!  We chat with Kristen a lot on twitter and send emails back and forth with her, so it was SO GREAT to get to meet you!  Why did we not capture that moment on film?  What is wrong with us?  And of course we cannot leave out our fellow DFW tweeps that we’d already met before – @HeidiRuns & @bmlueb, @ciaobella7 & @reigning1 – you can constantly find us freaking out with the ladies of these awesome couples on twitter about our first marathon which is now 15 days away!  We love to give them support and appreciate so much all the support they give us!  Can’t wait until we are all marathoners!!

After lunch we hit the expo, got some fuel for the race and more importantly some cute headbands to wear.  Here’s Teal modeling her’s even though she didn’t actually wear it during the half.

This is how you wear it, right?

After expo-ing we quickly checked into our hotel – SpringHill Suites by the airport and were quickly off to the grocery store for snacks since it had now been at least two hours since our last feeding. Haha  Also, we’d highly recommend the SpringHill Suites, while yes it isn’t on the riverwalk in San Antonio it was still really nice and a great hotel!  There are some other great parts to SA besides the riverwalk that are right there around that hotel!  After snacking we made sure to get our plank of the day in and our 100 pushups.

Schwoops it's blurry, but we are just so fast with the pushups! Ha

After that we headed out for our final meal before the race with Chase and Mary Alice.  We aren’t even going to go into the special-ness that occurred which led us to dining at Canyon Cafe for dinner.  Just know it was special and not where we were originally going to go. 🙂  The three of us girls got the exact same thing so here is some food porn for you! [Sorry Mom we put the word porn in our blog!]

Behold the FIRE-GRILLED TUNA – Served over oven-roasted vegetables and Santa Fe rice. Topped with an avocado fan and chipotle mayonnaise. It was de-lish!

Just in case you missed our faces here we all are at dinner –

After dinner it was back to the hotel for all 3 of us girls to decide what exactly we were wearing in the morning, lay it out and have ridiculous conversations about our wake up time and leave time.  I think every 20 minutes or so we pushed back our wake up time and leave time by 15 minutes and ultimately decided waking up at 4:30 a.m. and leaving the hotel by 5:00 a.m. would be just fine.  Typical girls?

Want to give a quick shoutout to our friend, Zac (Mary Alice’s brother-in-law, in case you are trying to keep these people straight), for shaving more than 10 minutes off of his marathon time at the race! Here’s a picture of Zac and his lovely preggo wife, Rebekah after the race!  Shoutout to Baby Girl Elliott coming December 2011! 🙂

Zac, Rebekah and baby girl Elliott!

After the race was over we met our friend Bitner at his hotel and together with him, the Elliotts and Mary Alice we went off to dine on Mexican food on the riverwalk!  Once lunch was over we all went our separate ways. 🙁 We’ll be seeing Zac again at White Rock in December when he runs his 4th mary!  Mary Alice and Bitner will also be running White Rock with us as their first marys ever just like us!

We dropped Mary Alice off and Austin a little bit before 5:00 p.m. and made our way over to the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.  Umm, why do we not have one in Dallas? How can we make that happen? Again, de-lish!  Thanks to one of us having an iPad we were able to easily participate in #runchat from the car on our way back to Dallas!  Such a great trip even if it was tiring and we are still recovering sleep-wise!

It’s less than 4 miles from the Alamodome if you are going to be coming from the expo or going to the expo after (which is what we’ll probably do).
