Race Weekend Wrap-Up

Details & TONS of pictures to come.

For now...

Random Thoughts Along the Day...

Some random tidbits:

1. Natasha & I went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast :o) Then I took her to Florence. She had a flight out of there instead of Myrtle Beach. I enjoyed getting to spend as much time with her as a could. We were talking about a possible weekend in April or May for me to go visit her.
   
2. The Cooper River Bridge Run is in TEN days. Ahh!! I actually also signed up last night for a 5k here in Myrtle Beach. It's the Conquering Cancer 5K. I am pretty pumped to do this race. It's only about 150 people and it's super close to my house. It'll also be nice to have a race under my belt before a race that's 35,000+ people!
   
3. Speaking of the race... I purchased this bad boy last night:
   It's the double puch iFitness Belt. I recently found Chic Runner's blog and she and a ton of other runners recommend it.

Ok so I think that's all the random tidbits I can come up with at the moment! Oh Happy St. Patrick's Day everybody!

Thursday postings...

Happy Thursday folks!

I hope everyone is powering through their work week- only 10 more days til my bday and 15 til Christmas! Woo hoo! This really is my favorite time of year!

A little update on the running... today I ran/walked 1.9 miles! That's the distance around my street in my neighborhood. I thought it was only 1 mile but when I got back I did a little mappy mappy and that's what it said! So yay! Now I have to work on getting my endurance up so I can run/walk around like 3.5 more times!

Anybody have any good cold weather exercising tips? I enjoy working out when it's a little chilly because I don't get as hot, but the cold air hurts my ears and throat. I know ear muffs can take care of the first problem...

An update on the Christmas present shopping-- I have my dad and mom a few more things to pick up. I don't wanna put on here what I got my mom incase she's reading, but my dad... he's got some good stuff. So far...

I also can't wait for the 17th to get here... Sarah is coming home from Savannah, Rena is coming from Columbia the 18th, and my roommate from my junior year of college, Shannon, is coming the 19-21st! I can't wait to spend time with each of these ladies and enjoy my bday and Christmas with them all!

I gotta go get ready for work but I hope you all have an amazing Thursday!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Monday friends!

I actually worked all weekend! We were pretty busy too... and ya'll I'm not just saying this, I really love working there. The people I work with are great and I am in LOVE with some discounts! It's just nice have a place to go to work and really enjoy it!

On Thursday, dad & I got our Christmas tree. It's the best and biggest tree we've ever had!

Another super fun thing going on...

I'm going to run (walk a lot) the Cooper River Bridge Run!

It's March 27 and I could not be more excited. It's a 10K (6.23 miles)

I am definitely not a runner. In high school, I never enjoyed running b/c of how big the girls were. And by girls, I mean boobs. But after a few surgeries that problem has been addressed.

A group of friends, some from high school & some from work are going to be doing it with me. I know that they'll all hold me accountable when it comes to training and during the race. I will try to keep everyone updated on my progress. And if any of you have ever run a race or anything, I'll take all the advice you can give!

In honor of me doing a 10K-I may have picked these two items up yesterday at work:

Anyway--I hope you all have a great week! I'm trying to be better at updating more while I'm working, so bear with me!
