Screw Up

Hi friends!

Since I’m really lame and haven’t blogged in a while, I thought I’d entertain you with my life this past week.

I ran the Race Judicata 5K Saturday.  Yep, I really need to get my butt in gear if I wanna run a half marathon for my 30th birthday.  I did take almost a minute off my time from last Sunday.  So I guess that’s a start, right!?

We got up at 6am and the husband was like “you actually paid to get up early on a Saturday, drive 45 minutes there & back, to run in the cold”!?!?!?  Nope, you paid for it, honey, but thanks!  😉

There were a lot of fast runners!  They totally smoked me.

Then we went to Roller Town to celebrate the little ones 10th birthday per her request.

Uh, yeah I really need to work on my “hang 10” sign or maybe new some gang signs…whatever.

That’s better.

I skated for about an hour.  I took skating lessons as a kid and pretty much grew up skating, so it was a lot of fun.

Then I got board and started taking some “My Space” pictures.  You know the ones when people take ghetto, cheesy pictures of themselves in their messy bathrooms, slap it on there and call it “cute”.

Well here’s my imitation~

Ok, ok here’s a real on taken by the husband~

Then we ventured over to Ma & Pa’s house to continue the celebration.

Then I officially signed up for this~

Here’s the course map.  Oh lordy, what is wrong with me.  If anyone know’s how to train for this, please help a sista out.

Here is the course map~

Uh…HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!

That’s what you get when you hand your camera to your husband to take pictures while you light the candles on your little one’s cake.  Very funny dude, very funny.

But to make up for it, he ordered this for me today~

I think we’re even, don’t you!?

From here.  It was a better deal than Amazon.com, if your like me & can’t wait a few extra days to get your new toy.

Now if only he doesn’t screw up again…wait, if he does, that might mean he’d have to cave and get me the new kicks I’ve been eyeing.  Hummm…

3-0 Birthday

Hello bloggies.  How’s it going?

Are you ready for one of the most random posts ever????

Here we go……

Well this winter weather has got me down, me thinks.  The sun won’t come out and now it’s raining.  I haven’t been running, which keeps me sane, but I did manage to round up my daughter yesterday evening for a 2 mile run while she rode her bike.  That helped a lot.  I can’t wait for spring!!!

I have exciting news though!  Since I will be turning 30 in April, I want to run my first half marathon!  I haven’t decided on a location yet, but it’s really fun looking for one.  I’ve been toying with this one.

Santa Cruz, CA.  Totally my style!  🙂

Anyway I’m getting ready to start training for the Mud Run in May so I’m going to start working on my training plan today and I will post it as soon as I have it done.  If anyone has ever trained for something similar to this, please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you did to train.  I’m looking for a few strategies.  😉

General Mills & MyBlogSpark contacted me about their upcoming release of single digit grams of sugar per serving in cereals advertised to children under 12.  Of course I jumped on board!  I feel this is a move in the right direction and can’t wait try the new cereals out myself when they come out.  Click here to get your $1 off coupon.

General Mills & MyBlogSpark were so nice, they sent me 4 coupons to try out their current cereals.  With the help of my daughter who’s 9, we choose these~

Surprisingly my daughters favorite was Kix!  It only had 3 grams of sugar per serving.  Yeah, I was shocked, but in a good way!

Thank you General Mills & MyBlogSpark!

Off to concur my day!
