"Oh the weather outside is frightful"....and It's November!?!

Ok, I haven't been on for a while. Last week I went and saw my friends baby. She had a little boy and he's really cute. I'm really happy for her. She has this glow to her that I've never seen before. Her aura is 100% positive. I can't believe having a child can drastically change your life in one day. I have never seen her this happy. I wish her and her husband all the best.

Over the weekend I went to Branson with my husbands family. I had a great time. We went to Silver Dollar City and rode the rides and ate good food. Can't beat that! The town was completely decorated with Christmas. Did they forget about Thanksgiving? After we left the park the and restaurants the workers would say " Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" What? Um...hey did you forget about Thanksgiving? I have to admit....since the weather her is very much like Christmas, I wanted to put my tree up this week. I know I know a little early. Oh man I'm tuning into one of them. Those people who completely forget about the turkey holiday and jump right into Christmas. Well, after thinking about it for a minute I decided that I will wait. Good for you Abbie!

As for training, I am very proud of myself. Last Friday I was at my parents house and I wasn't sure If I was going to go for my scheduled Friday run. So that morning I woke up early to starting cleaning and then by 8am I went for my 15min run for the day. I was proud of myself because it's hard to stay with your schedule when your out of town. Lucky for me I knew that I needed to run a little over a mile and where my parents live that was easily accessible. I did it!! I ran for the day and felt great. Now, my Sunday run I did not complete. We got home pretty late from Branson and I was really exhausted. I felt that is was more important to get some rest than to push myself to complete a run that I had no energy for. On Monday I went to the gym and ran for 25mins on the treadmill (without music). I must say it was a bit challenging but overall it really wasn't bad. I felt great after I was down and was ready to teach my toning class. Today is my day off of running so I thought that I would ride the stationary bike or walk around the mall and do some window shopping, we'll see. I'm trying to sign up for a 5k this weekend but since I don't start work until Nov. 30, I won't get paid until Christmas Eve. So that means I'm really tight on money right now. I'll count my change, look under the cushions and try to find enough money to sign-up. If not, it's really not that big a deal, I'll just go and support my friend who is running the 1/2 marathon. Go Kristi!!!

Alright, that's all for now. I'll write back tomorrow with another update on training and life. Until then, happy tuesday!! Oh and try to stay warm.
