Only one week...

I've got only one week left until my 30th birthday!  I can't believe it's almost here.  I still have a few things left on my list to accomplish, and I plan to work my butt off this next week to finish my list.  It's going to be hard, but I refuse to quit until next Thursday night at midnight.  There won't be much blog posting next week, but starting on my birthday, look for lots of blogging!  Make sure you become a follower to get updates!

Thoughts of a Non-Runner: C25K, Week 1, Day 2

Ok, time to do this again. I can do it. Brisk walk, no problem. 1st run, owned you. Oh look, there's fajitas on the tv! I wonder how many of these I would have to do to run those off. Hmm, this isn't as bad as last time. 4th run, ok, I'm getting a little tired. Hey there's dog hair on the tread mill! I wonder if I brought that with me. Oops. ^&%&%^$ Another run?! Didn't I just do that?! Stop looking at me ultra fit lady across the gym! This is HARD! Ok, 9th run, almost there...cool down walk, I can do it. Dang, this is the longest cool down ever. What? It's done? I did it again!! Take THAT, ultra fit lady!

Thoughts of a Non-Runner: C25K, Week 1, Day 1

Here's what happens when a non runner starts trying to run - my thoughts:

"Oh yeah, I can do this. Brisk walk warm up, I'm going to own it. First run, got it. Ok, that wasn't so bad. Back to walking. 30 minutes, this will be no problem. Oh, I have to run again? I can do that. Ok, I'm kinda tired. Can I walk again? Run 3 of 9?! %^&$^%^# What was i thinking? Nine?! Oh great, here come some high school boys. Hope they enjoy this. I'm not going to make it. Oh, half way? Ok good. Oh my goodness gracious, run 6?! Are they trying to kill me!? Ok, one more. Brisk walk cool down? How about death down? Oh. Oh my. I made it. I MADE IT! I'm a rockstar!!!"

Stay tuned for more from the non-runner!

30 under 30: May Update

Oh. My. Gosh. I have a month left. It's time to haul butt to the finish line. So what did I get done in May? Here's the run down:

9. Take a once a month class and learn something new - This took a day into June, but I'm counting it for May! Last night Steffi and I did the second part of our pottery class and painted our pots. One we made a commemorative bowl for our 30 under 30. Pics will come once we pick it up!!

20. Catalogue the choir music at church - DONE! My music library looks incredible. And I'm very thankful to have a way to find our music easily. We had 47 pieces of music, if I'd waited another year it would be a pain!

21. Take a getaway trip with my hubby - DONE! We had a fantastic trip to the Gaylord this past weekend. It was wonderful!

22. Miss a Sunday of church - DONE!! This almost didn't happen, but we made it. It was a wonderful break.

24. Learn to play the hammered dulcimer. I got my dulcimer in this month and learned the first song in my book, so I'm counting that!!

26. Have lunch with my mom once a month - We had a nice lunch at Don Taco along with my dad and our friend Tricia too!

27. Spend time with the girls once a month - This is one that keeps getting better and better! Got to see Bridesmaids with Steffi, then met Jenica for drinks!

I have a lot to do in June, but I'm looking forward to finishing up the list!
