Let's Run a 5K!


 Busy, busy busy. Busy working, busy playing, busy getting fit. That is right, hubby and I have caught the fit bug…big time! I am leading a group of beginning runners for Women Run Arkansas and I love it. Hubby and I did our first 5K together this past Saturday and I used the WRA program and it was fabulous. I have always been a sprinter and never learned the proper way to run distances so the WRA running program has been a lifesaver. Hubby and I did a 1 minute run and 3 minute walk for the entire 3.1 miles and finished in less than 45 minutes. It felt good. I felt good. It was exhilarating. Hubby ended up with a medal because he is just awesome like that. We are now addicted. He is training to run the Rocket 5K and I am going to do the 1 mile walk with Zeke, the Catholic High Dog, with Wally, our dog, because I volunteer and will be too busy to do the 5K. The good thing is that I will be at the finish line to cheer on hubby. Sunday, we went to Two Rivers Park and did 4 miles at the same pace and felt great. So as a reward and because he spoils me, he bought me a Fitbit. It’s beautiful and pink and named Fred. It is a clip on so I am not advertising to the world what I am doing. I love Fred. If you have a Fitbit, friend me and let’s get fit together.

 After our run, we celebrated at Leo’s Greek Castle for brunch. Ridiculous. I have eaten lunch and dinner there, but never brunch. It was yummy. Saturday afternoon we took princess and my two nieces, who are also princesses, to see Cinderella. Great movie. Go see it. I am a bit of a princess myself so I love the story, the dresses, the shoes and the glass slipper was beautiful. I cried multiple times during the movie because I was feeling super sentimental. There were a lot of beautiful little princesses there to watch the movie and I remembered when my princess was that age. Time goes by way too fast! After the movie, we went to the store because there were two holidays to celebrate: Pi day and Steak and BJ Day. I hope you celebrated both because I did. Our pie was a peach crumble from  Fresh Market and while we were there got some steak too. Both were great. As far as the BJ thing, well that is TMI and I will just say this: that is celebrated quite often in my house as it should be and it is always great, for both of us.

  Enjoy your hump day. Get to exercising and make sure to give someone a hug. It will make their day.

Hugs!
