We are having some fun today!

Whew! Today has been busy! We went to breakfast this morning at the Flying Biscuit, then Norah and I went to her friend, Katie's, birthday party, got Norah new shoes and then Norah got a haircut. (I was slack on picture taking today!) I just finished a school assignment so now about to clean some while Norah and Daddy Jeff are outside with the neighborhood kids playing.

On the exercise front, Thursday I went to the Y and did the elliptical for 30 minutes and bike for 10 minutes...it didn't even feel like a workout...I barely broke a sweat...but I was trying to loosen up my hips some. Friday I ran 5 miles and my hips still felt a little tight. Today I am taking a rest day and tomorrow may be another gym visit and DVD? I have decided to shelf the marathon idea for this year. I think I am just going to do some more half marathons this year and next and maybe plan a marathon for 2013 for my 35th birthday! We'll see...

Well in the words that every mother hates to hear..."Everybody else is doing it...." So here are my ABCs that are floating around in blog land.

B. Bed size: King…love it! Especially now since Darcy and Finn sleep in it with us!
C. Chore you hate: All of them. Seriously.
D. Dogs: 3 dogs: Ranger (14 yr old lab), Finn (almost 1 yr old mini schnauzer) and Darcy (almost 1 yr old australian labradoodle)…love having dogs! And I still miss my mini schnauzer Fritz :(

F. Favorite color: Pink and if I picked a color for clothes…it would be black.
G. Gold or silver: Silver

K. Kids: A 3 yr old daughter, Norah who is my everything!
L. Live: Charlotte, NC
M. Mom’s name: Frankie
N. Nicknames: None really. I sign e-mails and things with “C” to just because it is quicker!

V. Vegetables you dislike: I don’t really dislike any vegetables. Cauliflower is probably my least favorite.

A runner friend of mine at school was complaining of hip pain and it turns out she needed new insoles. I thought I would pass the info along incase you need some new insoles too.
