Tarheel 10 Miler
On April 9th 2011, Ryan and I ran the...
Tarheel 10 Miler
in Chapel Hill, NC
Ryan's friend Dan, that just recently got accepted into UNC
for grad school (WooHoo! How exciting?) also ran with us!
Results: I ran the 10 miler in 1 hour 45 minutes.
It's been 3 days since the race and my knee is still hurting but let me stress that it hurt 348957938475 times more Saturday night and Sunday. I couldn't even run to the car from the restaurant. (Even in the pouring rain!!! hahaha) I think it was so bad because I'm not used to running on concrete for that long. This was my 2nd longest race to date.
“Success isn't how far you got, but the distance
you traveled from where you started.”
Ryan and Kane Sunday (4/10/12)
Kane is sooooo spoiled.

Cooper River Bridge Run
I ran my 1st 10K on April 2nd 2011
in Charleston, South Carolina
This picture is early, early before the race...
My baby & I after we finished the race :) Isn't he so cute?! hehe
The group of us after the race hanging out in Marion Square...
We took this "got milk" picture at the race "after party" hehe...
After the race we walked around town and took in good old Charleston fresh air :) and I will admit that I was in pain (my ankles and feet hurt like no other) haha... but I sucked it up and walked anyways... barefoot :) hehe! Shoes are overrated.
2010 Battleship NC 5K
After the Midnight 5K for Ovarian Cancer
I guess I caught what they call the "runners high"
so, I immediately signed up for the:
2010 Battleship NC 5K
November 7, 2010
Ryan and Drew both did the half. :)
Midnight 5K for Ovarian Cancer
October 29 2010
at Midnight I ran my 1st race ever. :)
It was only a 5K but you have to start small!
Ryan, Joe Mott, and Joe's 2 friends from NC State came out to run with me.
To say it meant the world to me... is an understatement.

It's been a while...
So I have decided to do the Wrightsville Beach Half Marathon on March 20th... I know it seems like a long ways away, but it has to be for ME to be ready... I haven't been running or doing any REAL strenuous exercise lately... so I kinda believe I'll be starting from scratch... I might do a couple 5Ks and 10Ks leading up to it just to do them, and have themunder my belt, since I haaave only done 2 5Ks EVER. I wish it wasn't so cold outside but I guess it's better than being sweltering hot outside? Right? Ek. Anywho! If anyone is interested in joining me, VOLUNTEERING, or just wants to check out more info for the heck of it, look at the links posted below.... :)
February 4-6th Ryan is going to be competing in the CrossFit Garage Games in Georgia. Oh and then it's Valentine's Day, wow first time I'm actually looking forward to it :)
But back to what I was talking about, haha... I'm really so proud of him! If you didn't know he won CrossFit Wilmington's “Not Normal / Give Yourself Abs for Christmas” contest!
Ryan dropped 22lbs… from 192lbs
BEFORE Picture:
down to 170!
After Picture:
He worked really hard for it and really deserved it. :)
Proof that it's ALL about HOW BAD YOU WANT IT! ...Seriously!
He looks good huh? Back off ladies ;)
So now that I'm looking at my calendar,
I can't believe this year is about to be over,
which reminds me... NEW YEARS... New Years Resolution...!!
Do you know what my New Years Resolution was last year?
NO MORE MEAT... :-)
I became a veggie head hehe... best decision ever I have to say.
This past year I have been blessed in so many ways... and I'm very thankful.
My New Years Resolution this year is going to be more like a promise to myself, and a goal, because who writes the rules on what you can say is your New Years Resolution?!?!
But my promise to myself is to work on how much trash/recycling I make. Confused? Don't be. Danielle Richardet that you've heard me mention before, the one that writes the blog It Starts With Me that has inspired me in countless ways to change things I never would have thought about, keeps track of her plastic use...
Mind you, I do always consider the packaging that my foods come in, and I don't use plastic bags, and I do recycle, and wash and keep all of my plastic containers, yadda yadda yadda... BUT there is ALWAYS more that I can do. I want to start decreasing the purchase of the products that DO come in the plastic packaging, because WHO needs 438957348957893 plastic containers?!
No one.
I recycle every itty bitty piece of anything possible that you can recycle and sometimes go into peoples trash (that I babysit for... please don't judge me) and I take out things that could easily be recycled that they maybe just didn't think about.
Okay, yeah and then my goal to myself is the Half Marathon... :)

^I had to share this... I know, mean, but he DID post it on YOUTUBE^
^Pretty neato^
Heads up... bad language in the following video....
This made me laugh..... haha... kinda stupid but funny.
I ran my first 5K Friday, Oct 29th... it was the Ovarian Cancer Midnight 5K at UNCW.
Ryan, Joe, Aaron & Jeff ran it with me... :) Thanks guys for coming!
-Not the clearest pictures, but you 'get the picture' ha!-
I really loved it. I see a lot of races in my future and hope to
really get on it and do better and better :) I feel silly for wondering
why Pat & Elisabeth run marathons all the time. They give you like
a high! But it's like a good/healthy high! Makes you feel good.
I feel like if I actually TRAINED instead of just showing up and running
that it would be even more intense... because you work and work at
something and then you DO it, and then once you've finished, you feel
so accomplished! I still felt accomplished even though I didn't 'train'
because I went out there and DID IT. I completed it... and I saw a TON
of boys follow in BEHIND me :)
Is it weird that I am FARRRR more competitive when it comes to
guys than girls? Maybe it's from growing up with tons of boys and
being a "tomboy" and closet "girly girl" haha... if you could describe
me in a cartoon drawing it would be a little girl in a karate uniform
wearing heels... with a big doggie on a leash...
a purse in one hand and pair of sneaks in the other :)
oh and my bathingsuit on underneath :) hehe.....
^I listened to this and had a sweet potato a couple hours before^
I did my 2nd 5K Sunday, Nov 7th... I did the 2010 NC Battleship.
Let's just say it was COLD but I'm glad I did it. :)
My lungs are NOT used to the cold weather... after the race
for the next like 36 hours all I did was sneeze... like nonstop. arg.
I stayed the night at Ryan's Saturday night and brought my
sweet potato with me to make Sunday morning, but after
being nauseous all day Saturday and not wanting to eat ANYthing
I could barely force down 1/2 of my sweet potato. blah.
Oh my goodness. Sunday after the race, AND A NAP...
we watched Toy Story 3... and he said I would cry... but
OMG. SO funny and SOOOO sad. I boohoo'd for sure.
Sunday night when Ryan went to the rink, I took Kane with me so I could get him to Stan, but I ended up having him over night (which I loved) hehe... made me want a dog of my own EVEN more. Kane is such a great dog though. Monday after doing the loop with him and cleaning out my car (where he went out and did it with me hehe) I didn't even have to like tell him to not go in the road or like, to not run off... he was so good. AH LOVE IT! :) But anyways, I took him with me to work and the kids LOVED him!
haha... at first Kane wasn't too excited about the new friends :)
Sonja and Charlie kinda scared him at first haha aw
he kept backing up against me like omg, get them away haha
haha... but as you can tell by this picture, he fell in love with them :)
