Couple Things....

First up: WTF is up with Twitter? Is anyone else having trouble loading the homepage? For some reason every time I try to go there, it just gives me the little circle of death. You know, the progress circle that spins until the page loads? GRRR so annoying! Luckily I can access it on my phone, but its just not the same.

Secondly, who the hell am I and what did I do with my old, lazy self? Seriously, I woke up this morning and instead of sitting on my @$$ and reading blogs, checking FB, Twitter (on my phone, obvs) and drinking several cups of coffee, I vacuumed the entire downstairs, unloaded the dishwasher, watered some plants, and did some crunches. Then after AJ woke up and had breakfast I started a load of laundry and we embarked on {my} day 1 of the Couch 2 5k program (I'm starting on Week 4, day 2 because I'm somewhat in shape and only have 5 weeks until I start officially training for a FULL marathon).

In case you skimmed that last part, yes, I am planning on running a FULL marathon in November. That would be 26.2 miles. Yep, I'm crazy, but if you've been around here for more than one day, you'd already know that!

Here's the reasoning though. D wants to run a marathon. We have found one that isn't too far from where we live and the race also offers a half marathon on the same day. D has been trying to convince me to run it with him and I was thinking about doing another half. Then this weekend we were chatting with my parents and I decided that since I've already run 2 half marathons in the past, I'm either going to run the full or not do it at all (makes perfect sense, right? Ha!).

So there you have it folks, I'm officially bat$h!t crazy. Welcome to the dark side!

We're picking up our farm box again today and it might just be the highlight of my week! At our pick-up site there are a ton of little old ladies that hand out the boxes and I love making their days just by letting them pinch and squeeze AJ!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Registration Day

First off, I'll start out by saying...."We're home!"

It feels good to be back home and relaxing on our own (albeit crappy) furniture. AJ was amazing on our drive home today, she only got crabby one time and that was towards the end of the ride. Seriously, she rocks!

We had tons of fun back in Hometown, U.S.A. but I think we were all ready to come home. We have to go back again soon because the registration on one of our cars expires in August and we forgot the paperwork we need to get it renewed this trip. On to the real (and exciting) reason for my post....

Today the registration for the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon officially opened! I am registered as of 9:35 pm CST. I know 2 others who are already registered as well and I am SO totally looking forward to this race and the trip in general! It is going to be so much fun! My mom is watching AJ for me and I'm going to do a big weekend away with the girls while D finishes up all his crazy schools before we head to our next duty station at the beginning of March.



I'm running another 1/2 marathon in San Antonio in November, so I think I'm going to have just the right amount of time to rest a bit after that race and then start a new 12-week training program. My next step is to get registered for the San Antonio race. Race registrations are expensive though, so I'll probably wait until after payday to do that.

I'm starting to ramble now, but I will be back tomorrow to update you all on how our trip home went and hopefully to post some more pictures of the trip! Also, I need to seriously catch up on all my blogs that I follow, so I'll be back, but it might be a while before I catch up and start commenting again!
