Running and 13.1

Well let's see since the Space City 10 Miler, the girls and I ran The Color Run and the Bay Area Turkey Trot and had fun doing them both.

This coming weekend, the girls are running the Reindeer run on 12/1/12.  Juliana is doing the 5k and Bella is doing the kids k.  It should be a lot of fun watching them preform.  Sunday 12/2/12, I am running my first half marathon, 13.1 miles, in the LaPorte By the Bay Half Marathon.  I'm very nervous but excited at the same time.  Once i finish this run, not only will I have completed my first half marathon, but I will have completed the Texas Bridge Series of runs...very exciting.  The bling medals are an added bonus to the whole equation.

Okay well that's it for today, I'll be back Monday after the big race to post pictures and give an update!  Have a great weekend everyone!

10 MILES???????????

Yes that's right!  I ran my first 10 Miler run today, 10/14/12.  It was tough, but I finished and i have the medal to prove it.  

When I got to mile 6 my legs got heavy and i got tired, my breakfast started wearing off and I was pooped, but i trudged on and continued with my powerade and water and stopped at all the water stations the rest of the way to refuel and I made it!

The fan support from my fellow Bay Are Fitters as well as my Juliana, Sloan, Lauren and Thomas was amazing and helped me keep going!  Thanks to my cheerleaders for the day!

Here is the medal, isn't it pretty?

Next Saturday 10/20/12, I am running the next bridge series 10k and working for this medal.  That bottom part of the medal is a bottle opener, guess what I'll be wearing to parties from now on?  LOL!:

Happy 8th Anniversary My Love!

Well today is our 8th Wedding Anniversary, what a day it was too.  PHEW!  8 years!!! that is awesome and very exciting!  I couldn't ask for a better husband and father than i got in Walt.  He is awesome.  He may drive me nuts sometimes but overall he is a great man, husband and father.  He works his ass off to make sure his family is taken care of and provided for.

He even surprised me today by sending me a dozen pink roses and a box of chocolates at my office.  I was truly surprised by the deliver as i was not expecting anything since we just moved into our new house.

Anyhow what an exciting and very happy 8th anniversary to us!

Here is a picture of us on our wedding day and then a picture of the beautiful pink roses i received.  :-)
