I Feel Like Running...

Okay, some of you are probably going to really think I've lost my mind...but yes, I am going to run in a 5K at the end of May. I've been running a lot at the gym and I've enjoyed it, so Jonathan (my trainer) mentioned to me one day that I should start to run races. (Yes, I thought he was crazy...me running with other people around that I could accidentally harm with my clumsiness...) But I started to think about it more and Jason brought it up that he would like to run in a 5K sometime as well, I figured what the hell...

So with a little help, I found a race to run in, it's nothing big it just looks like something fun to start out with. It's the Skirt Chaser 5K Race here in Raleigh. The winner gets a prize, but I'm just going to run to see how well I actually do. I normally run on a treadmill, so I'm going to have to start running outside to get used to it. I have to actually watch where I'm going and breathe at the same time! (Geez...that's going to be hard!)

The race is the weekend after I get back from Forks, so hopefully I won't do too bad after not getting to run like I normally would for a week. But we shall see!

I'll try to keep you all updated on how the training goes.

It's the End of January!

I can't believe that it is already the end of January! This month has flown by I don't even remember what all I did this month. I know that next month I've got a lot to do. I have to finish planning and get ready for my sister's baby shower for one thing! (Yes, I'm going to have a nephew in about 5 months!) It's going to be for the family, so we are off to Hickory for that weekend. I had forgotten how hard it is to plan something when you can't go there to do it. But luckily, Momma Doris is on the hunt (seeing as how I've never done a baby shower before, I needed some help!) My cousin Caron has been helping too.

Tomorrow we are going to have our 5th Annual Super Bowl Party, so I'm in the process of getting everything ready for that. Jason and I just finished cleaning up, so now tomorrow I just have to make a few things and then we should be ready. I guess now I have to figure out which team I want to root for, I personally like the Chargers (cause of the Wolfpack tie to QB Phillip Rivers), so I guess I'll just have to pick one. I'll post some pictures of our party soon. We normally have a pretty good time.

I also bought my plane ticket for my girls trip, so now we are definitely going. I think it will be a great experience for me to have a girls trip. We have our hotels picked out as well so we will be booking those in the next few days also. It seems to be coming together and I'm looking forward to it. If the next few months go by as fast as this month has, then it will just seem like a few weeks! Jason went with me last night to see Twilight again, unfortunately, he didn't care for it, but he was nice enough to go with me!

Now Jason & I will have to figure out where we would like to go on vacation this year!
