Mind if I update?

So this week will be week four of running a few times a week. The good thing is I have been doing it consistent. The bad thing is I haven't had the balls to up my distance. I know I know...But this week will and has to be different!!!


Saturday morning Denali, Raven and myself did the annual 2nd DOGNJOG. Indian Hills Vet clinic put it on and all of the proceeds go to the Humane Soc in town :). I'm actually trying to edit a video of our time. After, I dropped the girls back home and headed to a friend of mine Kara, her son's soccer game. It was so fun! I always think if there was a sport I wish I would have been involved in, it would be soccer.
Anyways, later that evening we went to OTB (which is ON The Border) There is a waiter who went to the same highschool as me and he has waited on us before. This time he had a little suprise for us. On our table out on the patio he already had our normal drinks that we get waiting for us :) How sweet of him! Ofcourse we got the usual white and yellow queso. Later on Annie and Audrey met us and enjoyed a drink. Then ofcourse we had to go cause trouble else where.



Today, Sunday we went over to mom and Jon's to celebrate his birthday which is tomorrow. Happy Birthdayyyyyy!!!!!
This weekend was a really nice weekend, one that everyone deserves now and again.

Get up off that couch!


In about an hr I will be meeting up with my friend Theresa. What will we be doing??? Well she will be smiling, enjoying the outdoors, and leaving me in the dust! Running. We are running. No, she will be running...I will be suffering, embarrassed, crying and trying my hardest! Evenutally I am wanting to run a 5k. I said eventually. The hard thing is no one wants to train with me or even set a goal. I would ask my friend Alisha but she is in South Korea for a year. She could run a race in her sleep sitting in a chair.... Easy peasy baby. So thank you Theresa for letting me run way way way behind you!

Things I am nervous about
-My asthma will flare
- Shin splits
-My brain telling me I am too weak
-Someone will see me and laugh
-Not running very far or long
-Failing
-Letting this list make me nervous :)


Time to go change and lace up my shoes!!!

"No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everyone on the couch."


UPDATE

So I met Theresa at a park close by where she lives. Today was a cloudy day, so that made me more excited about running. On my driving there it starts to sprinkle...which made me even more happier!!! What else could make running more appealing than rain?!?! No sarcasm here what so ever. No really. My heart smiled because of the rain :) We warm up by walking then the next lap we would run and switch off again. That making my total 1.5 miles running and 2.25 walking!!! That may not sound much to you, but for me it sounds awesome lol.


I can scratch my list from earlier because:
-My asthma did not flare
-No shin splits but the hinges of my knee are bothering me :(
-My brain did not tell me I was to weak...it actually said "You can do this!"
-No one really saw me and no one laughed....except for us because of our conversation
-As far as not running very far or long...I did a lot more than I thought I would
-I did not fail because I actually did it!
-This list makes me proud not nervous :)

Wednesday already???

I really need to get a hand on this. More blogging and vlogging to come. Why you ask? Because I like to think there are strangers out there that care what I do with my days. So Last weekend I dog sat Oscar. He is a 7 year old weiny. When he first got to my house he was very shy and quiet. The next day he proved me wrong. Get that little guy a tennis ball or two...or let's see how many did he destroy?? HA! He played fetch for hoursss! His parents have a new, newerish okay a 7 month old baby Henry. I think Oscar enjoyed being the only boy around! We did take him to the dog park. It was his first. He did so well! His momma Andrea said Oscar was poop'd out when they picked him up and settled him back home. :) I think I need to start my own dog sitting business....Here are a few pictures!

Do the humpty hump...hump wednesday that is!!!


We have had rainy days ever since Sunday here! I am loving it!!! My fav, kind of weather. It makes me happier than sunshine!!! The thing is it is spring break, so I am sure everyone else is complaining about it. It's always too cold, too hot, too muggy, too windy. They always have something to complain about w/ kansas weather.
So I have been using Tumblr and neglected my blogger. Please forgive me little guy??

I have been dog sitting this handsome fellow. His name is Woody. He is no stranger around my house that's for sure :) His mom is in the air force and she is in D.C right now. He has had soooo much fun being w Denali and Raven!
I still have some things on my wednesdy evening list to do:
1. Cook dinner!! Soy hot dogs and salad.. nom nom!
2. Finish laundry
3. Go through bills...not excited about this one!
4. Watch The La Lakers!!! They lost last night by sad 3 pts.....
Hope everyone is having a wonderful evening...When there's rain, there's beauty! You just have to appreciate the small, tiny things!
