So, short story.  We inadvertently followed a patten with the naming of our children.  The first daughters name was chosen before we were even married (I had a first name for a girl that was the middle name of my MTC companion.  My wife had the middle name that was the first name of her best friend).  The second was a name that my wife heard while teaching...  The third I pieced together from a word I really like.  When it came time to name the 4th, our first had recognized a pattern.  Every name had 6 letters, 'i' as the second letter, and a double letter.  So we came up with a name four our 4th daughter that fit the pattern.  Then the oldest daughter found something else - they all have an 'e'.

So, we are currently in need of another name - whether it be a boy or girl, we're not sure.  It's still 7-8 months out, but we may need that long to find a suitable name.  Any help would be appreciated...

Examples that fit the mold (not that we would consider all these...):

Billie, Lizzey, Winnie, Tigger, Birdee, Kitten, Dillen.  

 

5.0 40:50.7 153 Logan River Trail.  My right knee is feeling quite good.  I drank as much water (at work) as I was during 50-60 mile weeks.  I'm not going to take glucosamine for a while to see if the water is what works, not the 4 servings of glucosamine in 3 days (though these pills have 500 mg per serving, compared to 1500 mg per serving in the pills what I was taking in August and September.  These pills also have MSM for inflammation...)

All times are for 1 mile

What about Lillie?

Now that's better

Lillie is very cute. What about Eileen? Although the double letter would also be the 'e'; so that make break the rules.

No - Eileen works. Hadn't ever thought of that one.

I'm a glucosamine addict. Before I heard about glucosamine, I use to run in ace knee braces. My knees constantly ached. I then heard about and started taking glucosamine and it completely knocked it out. I continued taking it for a few years and never ever had any knee issues. One day, I thought, hey, save yourself 20 bucks and stop taking it. About a month later the knee aches and pains came back. I bought another bottle of glucosamine and immediately the pain disappeared. I still take it twice a day. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Good luck.

Nice progressive run. Congratulations on the baby!

Laputka - how fast does it kick in? I basically took a month off and the pain came with a vengeance. 4-5 days later and nothing... My run today (Saturday) was great and I haven't really had any noticeable pain sincd Thursday. I'm sure I can become hydrated quickly, but I don't know how quickly glucosamine can make a difference.

runningafterbabies - Thanks!
