And We're Off.....

It's official in a couple of hours we leave for Big Bear. I'm so excited to get out of town. I had a migraine yesterday so I'm not running this morning, too weak but I can't wait to get on the road.

Our cabin has a BBQ and I plan on BBQing some yummy lunches and dinners.

Friday we leave for Anaheim and are staying at the Hilton Suites (I booked it for $60.00) on Priceline (gotta love priceline) and Saturday I do my first run. Sure it's only the 5k and not the Half Marathon others are doing but I plan on attending the Half Marathon next year! We are then joining Lora & Baby Charlie for a day at Disneyland.

Sunday we are doing the memorial for my Aunt at the gardens. I feel at peace for her and I know she's in a better place.

Life should then be back to normal once we complete our adventures this week. I worked 14 days straight with camp, got a raise, and will come back to a lot of work after this week with school starting BUT I'm going to try and enjoy this week with my family and not get online. A week of just the three of us.

I will post a blog entry about our adventures sometime soon.....

Countdown to Disneyland Jog

I'm so excited and happy that I did 3.3 miles today in 31 minutes. I have to do it in under 45 minutes for the run at Disneyland I'm doing on the 30th.

I'm so glad I quit the gym. A trainer every other week, weights at home, and jogging out in the open is so much better then a gym.

The countdown has begun!!!

Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Lattes make me purr...

I will have to do a good update soon but I've been soo busy, you know life, it happens.

On the quick side of things I'm addicted to Grande Iced Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Lattes at Starbucks. It's amazing how a drink can make you feel all warm inside when it's filled with ice. I so enjoyed my drink this morning and I'm still nursing it.

I felt I deserved this drink after taking a friends advice and jogging up a hill for training with running. Let me tell you.......IT'S A WORKOUT! The point of my blog entry today is to (1) realize I have this blog and need to post to it from time to time and (2) that jogging up hill is a real workout and I'm so amazed at how far I've come in the past year or so. I so rock! I can't wait for my "three mile race" as Tina puts it at Disneyland this August.

Off to another full day of life and that's just fine by me.

5k at Disneyland (:

So, I'm committed to the 5k run that is August 30th at Disneyland. The run itself is between California Adventure and Disneyland. Who wouldn't want to jog through both parks????

I'm so excited but I know I have to get into shape more.

I'm off to buy new headphones because my dear daughter took the covers off my headphones and when I tried to jog home from her school, well, they wouldn't stay in my ears.

Once I buy the headphones I'm off to the gym (:

I know that next week with my surgery I may not be ready to go and jog right away but I plan on jogging more often to work up to my three mile jog. This I know is not much to some but for someone whose lost over 100 lbs. it's a big deal.

I can't wait to do the run! Go Disneyland! Anything to make me interested lol.
