Guess My Time!

No seriously, guess how fast I am going to run my 5k on Saturday. I have no clue what to expect and I need to make my playlist! It is on a flat course and temps right now are forecasted to be in the lower 50s at race time.

Here is some info to help you out:
Marathon, 1/13/08: 4:30 (flat ground)
1/2 Marathon 1/27/08: 1:57:51 (point-to-point net downhill)
1/2 Marathon 2/17/08: 1:56:04 (loop course with LOTS of hills in last 4 miles...last 5k of race was 26:44)

Previous stand alone 5k PR is 27:56 from mid-September on a pretty flat course in warm, humid temps.

Any ideas? One would hope I will beat my stand alone PR, and presumably the one from last weekend as well, but by how much?

All I know is it's gonna hurt!!!

Between 24:43 and 25:21 is my guess

I would never presume to limit you with one of my predictions.

Don't lose sight of IMAZ. 5ks can hurt.

Don't worry, IMAZ will be vividly present in my mind during my 100 mile ride on Sunday!

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....

Into the Donor Egg World We Go

As I sit down to write this, I'm shocked to see February 27, 2022 was the last post I've written about our IVF journey.  In some ways, it seems like so much has happened over the last year, and on the other hand it seems like nothing has happened at all because we are back to square one. I'll provide a quick summary of the last year, but please understand this won't even begin to describe the true roller coaster ride we have been on.  I actually don't think it is even appropriate to call it a roller coaster because that indicates there are some ups.  Our ride has been more like a train ride through hell. After our failed transfer in February, we decided to take a break in March to let my body rest a bit before transferring our next embryo.  During that time, a friend reached out and told me about her friend that hadn't had success here but did at CCRM in Colorado.  At the time it almost felt like a divine intervention, but I now know better.  We spent seven...
