It's getting Closer!

I guess this means it's official....

I went and picked up my race packet yesterday.  I didn't really know what to expect, but I got a tshirt, my bib, a water bottle, and then the schedule/race map.  I'm half tempted to drive the route of the race, but since it starts and ends at the high school, I'm not sure I can do that.  I'm getting more and more nervous/excited.  I think my biggest fear is making a fool of myself, and being the only adult that has to run/walk. My cousin and pastors wife are both leading the team of girls that I'll be running with, and they're both runners (my pastors wife, Tricia, ran the Princess Half this past February) and they both have been motivating me, I don't want to let them down.  I think that's the biggest reason I'm nervous - I don't want to let anyone down. 

Anyway, in other news, I went to the gym this morning.  I was going to run, but my legs are still kinda sore from yesterdays run, so I took it easy. I walked for 20 minutes on the treadmill, and then did 25 minutes on the stationary bike.  Enough to get some activity in, but not too much.  I'm going to take tomorrow off, and then I'll be all rested up for Saturday. 

Well, I'd better go.  I'm thinking about going out and gardening for a bit, and I need to nap before work tonight.  Have a great day!

Change of plans

I was supposed to have my interview today at 9am, but I got a call last night saying he needed to reschedule.  So now, my interview is Monday at 11! I am actually excited about the interview, because getting this job would mean so much to us. 

I was quite excited that it was rescheduled, because that meant I could go to the gym! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to go to the gym until Monday, because Sundays, the gym doesn't open until noon, and I can't go at noon because I work at 2.  So, the fact that I didn't have the interview today meant I could go to the gym! YAY!

I decided to just do the treadmill today.  I did 2.1 miles in 36 minutes.  I think I actually did more than that, but I stopped halfway through because I wanted to try the elliptical out, and I didn't like it as much.  When I stopped the machine, I lost all the info, so I don't know exactly how far I went.  I swear, it was about a billion degrees in the gym though, because I sweat SO MUCH.  It was kinda gross!

I think the hubby and I are going to head the the farmers market this morning.  I am looking for some flowers to plant before our Memorial Day Party, and I also want to get some fruits and veggies. 

Happy Saturday :)

Early Morning

I think I mentioned in a previous post, that I've been having issues with sleeping.  I generally don't get home from work until 11pm or so, and Cody and I are up until around 12:30am.  Every night, almost like clockwork, I wake up at 6am, and can't get back to sleep.  Sometimes I'll lay there and try to doze off until it's time to wake up, and some other mornings I'll just get up.  This morning, I decided to get up and go to the gym.  I didn't want to run on the track again (once I got the taste of running outside, I'd MUCH rather do that!) but I knew I needed to get some kind of workout in. So, I grabbed my kindle and decided I'd just walk on the treadmill. 

Since I was super tired, I was only gonna do one mile on the treadmill, but I ended up going for 1.5 miles. Then, I thought about doing an elliptical, but I changed my mind and did the stationary bike instead, and rode for just over 5 miles.  Not the most difficult workout, but at least it's something!  And it was good to be able to read and kind of get into my own world.

I'm gonna try to get a nap in before I go to work, I hope everyone has a great Friday!
