Race for the Cure!

I have officially signed up for my 1st 5k. YIKES!!! Yikes is what first comes to my mind. lol. It's in about two weeks. I don't think I'm going to be able to run this weekend, which sucks. I can barely walk up and down the stairs right now.....so yeah. Pilates, you rock my world but make it difficult to physically function like a normal person in every day life. But I will be seeing you again, hopefully very soon. This is the machine that we used.......

Doesn't it just look like a device used to torture POW's? It scares me. I still love it though cuz I know It's turning my flab into fab...ness. Or something. I told my teacher how much I loved it and that I wanted to get one. Then, I asked her how much they were. Oh, only 4 or 5 grand. HOLY SHIT!!! Ok, never mind. I would much rather have one of these in my house than a treadmill or something. But damn it, that's about how much my car is worth. Lol.

New shoes, new adventure!

I ran for 20 minutes straight last night. I haven't done that in a while. I usually walk inbetween running. It wasn't the easiest thing ever, but I'm ready to do it again! It feels soooo good to run. Oh man, I love it. Oh, and PS- I LOVE MY NEW RUNNING SHOES. They are my babies. I feel as excited as you feel when you get a new car. And this is much cheaper. Ha ha. Not cheap exactly, but much cheaper than a car! ;) So I ran in them for the first time last night and I loved life. I think my first 5k will be on May 1st. I can't do the one this weekend like I wanted to because I totally overlooked the fact that I have an 8 AM CALCULUS CLASS ON SATURDAYS. Remind me again why I signed up for that??? Yeah I don't remember either. Anyway, it will be over in about two weeks, so I'll be able to start my 5k adventures. Very excited. And nervous.

Yoga

I'm so excited to go to Yoga tonight. It's funny how if you have a friend to go with, it can be so so exciting but if you have to go alone and don't have motivation it can feel like you're dreading going. I'm excited. I hope i hurt as bad tomorrow as I did last time. I always hate it how you do something new and your muscles hurt SO bad, and then you try it again and get no sore muscles. I do think it's pretty cool how hard you can work yourself just by using your own body! Last time I went to this Yoga class, there was a surfer dude in back of me who kept making sex noises and the teacher ended up saying "I think I'm going to record this class and sell it to a phone sex company!" Ha ha. Made me laugh, cuz we all knew she was talking about the awkward guy in back of me who couldn't keep the noises in. I had to keep stopping cuz what they were doing was so hard, and one time I looked around and this guy was just chillin on his head. Like, he was doing a head stand. People are nuts! Next week, I'm going with the same friend to a Pilates class for my first time! And I've been trying to get out running lately so I can run the 5k on April 17th. I think I'm gonna go for it and just try my best!

PS-I think I'm going to take a picture of my pantry and post it soon. It might bring some laughs cuz of all the crap I have in there!! I really am like a 5 year old with my treats. TTFN!

You go, grandpa!

I just wanted to say that my grandpa is pretty kick ass. My brother, my grandpa, and myself went skiing yesterday and he is 75 years old!!! He only made it down two runs this time, but has had a few mishaps helath-wise in the past year that he is still recovering from (a car accident and a surgery.) He is so crazy and cool and I just hope that I'll still be skiing when I'm his age!!! The snow was pretty good. Pretty powdery, which can be good and bad. We went to Snowbird and the slopes weren't all that crowded. Very nice. I had a lot of fun and my brother and I are going to try and make it up there one more time in the next couple weeks. Skiing is fun and great exercise and I LOVE IT!!!

PS- I haven't had the motivation to make it to Yoga for the past couple weeks. Let's hope I can go this week, since my friend is wanting to go with me. The buddy system is the best system!!! Much more motivating when you know someone besides just yourself, is planning on you going.
