Catching up...

...on the meetings is not as fun at home. I just got back from walking/running and thought I would catch up on blogging and listening to the meetings online.
Looking forward to the meeting on Saturday... "four miles, no sweat."

Missed Everyone!

I hate that I missed today, but I got an email late yesterday from my professor stating we would meet today at 10:00am for our Independant Study class. Since graduation in May takes precedence I had to prioritize. Luckily Dr. Holt is a wonderful person and took pity for future Saturdays. I talked her into meeting at 11:30am from now on. So I will have time to attend the meetings and run and then get to class.
I will make sure and watch the video online and see everyone next week.

Hey there!

I am looking forward to Saturday! Not just for the bread but to see everyone also. :) Hope everyone is having a good week. Mine has gone well. My only screw up for the week is that I came home and vegged out yesterday. My husband was in class and I enjoyed being home, doing nothing and no one around to say a word about it;). So, I am going to at least walk when I get home today and maybe do some interval training.
See you Saturday!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Well, I ducked out from the meeting today to set up at the parade. It was fun but I missed running with the group.

Thought I would put different pictures up as I go along for everyone interested and finally figured it out. This one is a picture of me when I was in Scania (Iraq, South of Baghdad) escorting the TAG around to visit soldiers from KY. We could not fly the flag while there but we could cheat and sneak in ways to show love for our country.

I'm Committed! Count me in!

I don't know if I should have a drink to celebrate or have a drink to get rid of the nervousness! My husband thinks I should go run a mile. OK, OK, so I went ahead and registered to run the marathon. I was not going to run the Chicago Marathon out of fear of being jobless right after graduation. However, I think I have a good job lined up (if things work out). Keep your fingers crossed for me!
My husband and I talked and agreed it might be best if I do this one with the group I have been training with. YEAH!!! It took some debating! So Chicago here I come. I think I may need to see a therapist now.

Hey Everyone!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Monday. Mine was not bad. I had a change of scenery by going to the Vet Center. I love working with veterans! I have the opportunity of going to the Vet Center over the next several weeks. I am so lucky.
Yesterday late evening I got out and walked at a fast pace for 45 minutes. I love the weather we are having. Hopefully it will stay with us a little longer.
Well, off for another day. Oh, almost forgot to mention that Saturday evening Tom and I were searching Old Canton Rd for Great Harvest Bread Company. We found it! I left there with two samples and some cinnamin bread. It is so good!

Gorgeous Day!

Gosh, the weather was so nice today. I did not get in actual cross training but did dig, rake and plant in the flower beds today for a good two to three hours. I am hoping that counted for something (considering all the raking, lifting bags of top soil and potting soil). I am actually sore because that is what I did yesterday as well. I love Spring.
I hope everyone enjoyed there day.

Friday is here!

I am so glad to see Friday and I cannot wait for the meeting. It seems like that is what gets me motivated through the week.
Yesterday, I walked/jogged for about 45 minutes (mostly walked).
This morning I am going to put the 10 ways to give yourself a pay raise in the car. It is probably the only way it will get used. I will make sure to give some feedback when I am through though.
See you Saturday, Micah

You guys are the best!

I mean that! You are so supportive and wonderful. I just have to give Lisa a hard time. Thats all.
Well.. my allergies are here to stay according to the Dr... as long as I am living in MS. I am on a maintenance dose of medicine so hopefully allergy and sinus stuff won't pop up every month or so now.
Even though my nose is either stuffy or runny and my eyes are watering and my head hurts everytime I move it..I STILL GOT OUT THERE TODAY! I almost talked myself out of it but I didn't. I did enough of that last week. I did not run though. My head hurts too much for that. I walked for 35 minutes sneezing and coughing & all, but I feel better.

bumpy roads...

I hope the meeting is great on Saturday. I might be able to run by on my way to Clinton or Brandon for the Natl. Guard on Saturday. It seems this week does not like me. School has me bogged down and I have been busy with my internship. I cannot wait for that graduation date in May. I may have a Laua at the house and invite those who wish to come. :) if I make it and I will. Now I am overcoming either a cold, sinuses or allergy stuff. Not sure which.
Well, again.. Happy Meeting everyone!
