The latest from this tri-state area



Lots to say, lots to do, lots and lots. First thing's first, the 5K was fabulous! We raised a lot of money and I feel good about my results. I was quite intimidated at first, looking at all the serious...and I mean SERIOUS runners. But by the time I started I just let it go, rocked out to my ipod and did the best I could do. What's nice is now that I don't have a specific fitness goal in mind, when I go to the gym I'm much freer. For instance yesterday I ran a mile and then did some weight lifting. I have found that I prefer that to just flat out running all the time. I'm pretty limited on time since I have to deal with my dog. I'm going to have to find a new schedule to fit her in so I don't feel pressed for time when I'm at the gym.

Let's see...speaking of animals, mine are doing fine. I've been boarding Lyra quite a bit recently due to some weekend trips, vacations, etc. She is not a cheap animal by any stretch of the imagination. But she's worth it. The other night I was at home alone with the cats and I found I was overwhelmed with missing her. It didn't feel right. It was kind of a nice realization. She's such a good dog. Cats are good too. Sammy is feisty and mischevious, Monkey is confused and lovey.

Work is good too. Crazy busy but good. Time is going so quickly for me right now which is good all in all. I like distractions. I've recently developed a strong interest in the roller derby and I plan to join in one way or another pretty soon. I'll start off with volunteering and if my skating improves I'll work toward trying out. In fact I'm going skating tonight!! I'd LOVE to be a part of the sport, it's so awesome. I want to be a blocker.

Okay, that's all that's fit to print. Insane couple of weeks coming up. Barely time to sleep. But it's all worth it.
