Carrollton Runner’s Club offers 2 5Ks a month. One is a prediction run and one is a normal race. There is no t-shirt, but they do have a water station that you hit twice (out and back type course) and he normally has granola bars and fruit at the finish. The problem with these races are they are easy to skip. Saturday night, I set my alarm, got up Sunday morning, but decided I just didn’t want to go, so I went back to bed. The good news is I am self motivated and got up and ran 4 miles a bit later in the day. Pro – got in a bit longer run. Con – didn’t have the race atmosphere. I WILL be going to the race at the end of the month.
In other news, I have had two of the most productive weekends in a long time. July through December was so jam packed with all my running and traveling plans, that by November I was have anxiety attacks. I felt like I had been living in a whirlwind, was able to get nothing (outside of running) accomplished and just needed a break. Running was the only thing that kept me sane. Early December things started to calm down, but then 10 fabulous days in Illinois took its toll. I had a great time seeing SO MANY people. Christmas was great and Jes’s wedding was wonderful, but I was thankful to get back to Texas. It provides me some inner peace. So the two weekends I have taken care of things I have been meaning to do for awhile. The first weekend in January, I went to the bank and got pre-approved for a loan (yay!) and also looked at some Roth IRA stuff. This weekend I finally got my hair cut (last time it was cut was early August), got my passport photos taken (need to send in the information to renew it this week), cleaned out both my closets and the patio closet. Threw stuff away and have 3 large garbage bags of things to donate, mopped the kitchen floor, and even had time to read a book for fun, read a chapter in my AU book and go out to watch some football. And kept a great workout routine throughout as well. I feel so much better getting all that done. Now it is time to keep crossing things off my list. I also got the name of a real estate agent that I may use to help find me some houses.
Parents should be arriving in two weeks!
