I am obsessed with finding a marathon to do. Actually I think I found one that would be perfect, the entry fee isn't bad, the hotel prices are cheap...but notice how I said hotel...the only problem is we would have to fly there and plane tickets aren't cheap. I really want to do a marathon and right now the timing is perfect in my life with going to school and not working a job (which will end soon!) and the fact that I am already training for some half marathons. I would love to just keep training and do the marathon in May...which leads me to the Fargo Marathon. Don't laugh! Jeff is all for it (love my supportive husband!) but we have to figure out how to swing the plane tickets...so if you know how to get super cheap tickets or how I can get a sponsor (ha!)...let me know!
I got this new Yoga DVD from Target ($9) as part of my birthday gift from my mom! I did it yesterday and then did my first real "speed" workout for 2 miles on the treadmill. Today I am so sore in my back from it...I like it! This is a good Yoga one to add to my Bob Yoga as it is different stuff.Yesterday we got a Sunday paper of the Charlotte Observer and in the Parade insert was an article about actress Sela Ward...I really loved it. I really related to the idea of being from a small town and can't wait to leave and then realizing how great it was... I also loved her statement "I love Southern culture, it creates a strong sense of belonging." So true!
Well Jeff ran yesterday too...since he has started back running this month (he used to run a good bit)...he has probably only run like 4 times this month and yesterday he is already running 9 minute miles!! What! I am so jealous!
Next up....FOOTBALL! Here are my baby dogs and me enjoying the games...(please ignore the picture quality as it was taken with Jeff's blackberry, the dog's devil eyes, and my no make-up look) I love my puppies! I told Jeff if we won the lottery...I would so get another labradoodle like Darcy!
I ran to EarthFare last night for some stuff and came across this....
They are electrolyte tablets by Nuun and you put it in a glass of water for only 7 calories...I am going to see about using this during some long runs instead of gatorade.Oh yeah I almost forgot we did watch the movie "The Town" on Saturday night and it was really good! Well I am writing this as my breakfast settles so I am off to run...
