An Arctic Blast?!

I started to write earlier, after watching the weather in bed, then saw a commercial for the new Biggest Loser and I decided that I should go run first. I'm back!
Next week, we are supposed to get this arctic blast from the north. I am super excited about it, although I can't stand the cold. As of right now there is no snow or sleet in the forecast. A tad disappointed to say the least! If it's going to be that cold, it might as well snow. BUT, we can't control mother nature. I am also excited because maybe it will be a tad warmer for the Cowtown 10k in February (which is a very cold race).

As I was running, I was thinking about what to blog about. It might sound weird that I was thinking of blogging while running, but I have to keep my mind on something other than my breathing. If I listen to myself breath or count breaths, I will stop running because I think I'm dying! Here were my thoughts while running today...

• A UPS man drove past me. Pollution?! Not sure, but it's hard as hell to focus on anything after a UPS truck passes you because you think you're going to collapse from fumes!
• Katy Perry, Kesha (I refuse to put a $ symbol in her name) and Rhianna...these girls are not talented and need to stop making music immediately. The record producers need to find better talent as well.
• Dry fit shirts need a band of rubber on the bottom of the shirt so when you run, it doesn't slid up and Precinct Line gets to see your midriff.
• My summer vacation...possibly Red River, New Mexico (it's been 13 years since I was there)
• Poor Bryan...such a smart, talented, bright, understanding, witty, funny, graceful man and still no job. College degrees don't seem to mean much these days. March will be 2 years since he has had a job. He went back to school to get his teachers certificate only to be back at square 1 and was too late for hire (test results came too late). Now, he is subbing when he can. I just hope and pray for him that 2011 will be different for him, us and our future.
• Inger...our dog. If you follow my facebook, you know she jumped off the bed the other day and has been hurt ever since. Diagnosis: she bruised her spine, has some inflammation and was put on pain killers. I'm giving it a week, I hope she gets better.

Those were my thoughts today. I only ran about 2 miles or so, but it was a run. Better than applying for the Biggest Loser show as a contestant!

Happy New Year!

Well, today is 1-1-11...what have I done to start my new year right?!...NOTHING. I have been watching TV upstairs at my parents house all day. Well, after I woke up at 11 :)

I know people are making their resolutions and such. I am already ahead of the game and started back in July. Who said it had to be in January?! I finished my first half marathon in December with my sister and husband. I had been training since July ( I wouldn't recommend starting when it's 111 degrees outside) and have done well. I have another race coming up in February, The Cowtown. The coldest month...in Texas anyway ;)


In the meantime, I am really enjoying the NHL. I finally understand all the rules and it's a pretty cool game to watch. Being from Texas all you hear about it football. I am NOT a football fan of any sort for any team for any league. I went to a high school known for band, I didn't go to college and I don't like NFL because "most" of the players attitudes toward the amount of money, not skill or love for the game. All other leagues have players that act that way too but I think the NFL is by far the worst!! A real man plays rugby anyway :o)

Happy New Years to everyone!!!

Bryan and I at the Stars game!!!

A new start...again

I can't seem to keep up with blogging very much but I will attempt a better try for 2011. This is my only post for right now!
