CH-CH-CHANGES!

WOW! So lot's has happened since my November 1st post. Let's see...I met a guy and went on a first date. Thanksgiving. My Birthday. Christmas. The New Year. A trip to Gatlinburg. And now...I'm ENGAGED!!

So it's been a quick three months or so, but I could not be happier!

Being that my life now includes someone else I've decided to create a new blog to keep everyone posted on the wedding plans, the wedding, and ultimately our life together.

What's Next?

Well, I officially finished the Big Pumpkin Run. I didn't run the whole thing, but that is my own fault. I was not prepared when it came down to it. So...what's next? Well, I'm not exactly sure. I know that I have some friends out there that are down to run again ;) so that is definitely an option! And truth be told, I'm a little perturbed that I didn't run all 3.1 miles, so I don't feel like I can really cross that off the bucket list. And I think I would really like the BPR to be an yearly thing anyway, so I should just prepare prepare prepare and get my tukus in gear!! So, when I get my "new goal" finalized, I'll let you know!

Numbers...

Ok, I don't have a whole heck of a lot to say, but I was doing some thinking today, and this is what came of it.

I LOVE fall, so I'm super stoked (yeah...I said stoked) that today is September 1st. So here are a few things I'm counting down for:

3 Days until UGA's football season starts (GO DAWGS!!)

21 Days until the first day of fall

30 Days until I move into my apartment

59 Days until I run in the Big Pumkin Run

60 Days until Halloween (I can't wait to see Caleb's costume)

94 Days until Thanksgiving (YUMMY!!)

101 Days until I turn 34 (YIKES!)

124 Days until Christmas (YIKES again!)

131 Days until 2011

Hissy fit over - back on track

So, last week I thought I would just see what I could do...non program related. Well, that was a huge mistake, because I was not happy with the results. As it turns out, you can't do three weeks of a nine week couch to 5K running program and run 3 miles. For whatever reason, I was surprised and extremely disappointed in this fact. So, I pitched a little hissy fit and stopped the program for the week. That's right - I took the whole week off.

Now, since I have told everyone and their mother that I'm running this little (HA!) 5K, I have accountability partners around every corner. And my coworker, fellow runner, and friend is making me run this week. Out.side.

I'm sorry, what? Yeah...outside. Does she know how hot it is? Does she know I took a week off? Does she know that I'm going to melt? I mean, doesn't sugar melt in the heat? I know it at least caramelizes!! Come on!!

Yeah, well there is no changing her mind, and if I'm going to be truthful, I know it's best. So, with much despair, I go into the world this evening to die. Ok, maybe just get my butt kicked. Stay tuned for the results or the funeral info (lol!)

It's official...

Well, it is finally official...I just registered for the Big Pumpkin Run! I'm so excited! Thanks so much for all of you for your support! Let me know when you all register - I'm compiling a list to post later because I have had many people say they are going to do it!

Also, I'm still going to look into shirts for us - any ideas for designs?

Plateau...so soon?

Ok, everybody. I think I have hit a plateau. I'm hoping it's just a rough patch on the hill and not an actual plateau. I have been in a funk the past couple of days and just need to break out of it. I am not exactly sure what the issue is, but I am going to take a few steps to see if I can climb out. So, if I see you, and I'm not exactly cordial, don't be offended - it's not personal. The old "it's not you, it's me" routine.

Thanks for all the recent support - it really is helping!!

Still going

Hey, folks! Well, not much to say today...

I've gotten through the first week of training for the 5K and I'm still alive! The momentum is growing and several people are planning to run with me (or in front of me, or around me, or waaaay in front of me!)

It is not too late to join or start training! Go to www.bigpumkinrun.com to get info and let me know if you're coming!

Hey, who's up for matching tee-shirts? Any connections with that?
