Running and winning!

Hey folks!  It's been a busy week since I've been here.  In my last post I talked about some of the things that I wanted to get done in the coming year and boy did I kick it off right!

That next day I mailed out 2 postcards and did my first run/walk of the year!  I had been putting the running off because of the cold weather but I decided to suck it up and just do it.  It was around 32 degrees that morning but I didn't die.  I've been running/walking ever other day so far.  On Wednesday I ran the whole mile without stopping for a walk break!  I was so proud of myself.  Well I went out this morning in 25 degree weather and had to walk twice for a short stretch.  The cold really slowed me down.  I still made good time though.  I'm trying to get to where I can run a mile comfortably and then I'm going to up my distance.  I've been using the Nike+ GPS app on my phone and I really love it!

This past Monday was a great day!!!!  We won the National Championship!!!!  It was great game and we watched it with some awesome friends.  I don't know if I've mentioned this yet but Chris is building me a Alabama Pandora bracelet now.  Every time Bama wins a game I get a charm for my bracelet.  This was the other thing that I was referring to in my last "I Want Wednesday..."  We went to the Pandora store in the Summit on Tuesday and he let me pick out 4 charms!  He said that I needed more than 1 for the National Championship win and I won't be adding anymore beads until the fall.



I've also started taking an online photography class and the best part is it's FREE!  I follow this wonderful lady on Instagram and she's a high school photography teacher.  You can sign up for it through her blog.  <------Click there to join the fun!  We've already had one lesson but you can jump in at any time.  This is the picture I submitted for my first assignment.


I used Chris' fancy Nikon D3000 and I think it came out pretty good.  


Burlesque is back in full swing!  We have a Review show at Green bar on Jan. 28th and we are doing a Valentine's show Feb. 11th at Green bar also.  Check out www.Pinkboxburlesque.com for more info :) We have our individual and cast photo shoot tomorrow.  Should be lots of fun as long as it's not too cold.  

I think I've covered most of my busy week.  Hope everyone has a great weekend and see you soon ; )

  1. Sounds like an awesome start to the year! I've always found it so difficult to keep up with outdoor exercise in the winter. The app sounds like a great way to stay motivated.

    Best wishes for your Valentine's show!
