Set out a few goals for this year and am hitting some of them…..and feelin’ really good. They weren’t impossible things, but stayin’ on track is tough. One of my goals was to turn 40….well, I did that one. I know, it was coming regardless if I wanted it to or now, but on January 1 when we wrote our goals down, I needed at least one to be able to check off the list at the end of the year.
Another one for me was to sign up for a race (not to run but possibly walk and jog it), set a time limit to finish, and of course FINISH it. Let’s back track a bit, if you know me…you know I am not a runner, you know I am not of an ideal weight, hell, as of January 1, I wasn’t even physically active (although working on that one and discovering, I might be liking it)….
Well, this past Saturday was the Trolley Run. It’s a 4 mile race that benefits the visually impaired in our local town. WOW! I have such an admiration for runners, hell, even fitness walkers. That is some tough work and if memory serves me the first woman to cross the finish did it in less than 21 minutes – that is 5.25 minutes a mile. WOW!
Turned out to be a great, great, day….no rain, wasn’t to terribly hot, and had a slight breeze every so often. IT WAS AWESOME! I DID IT! I finished. I even beat my personal time goal by almost 7 minutes. I am so darn excited. Did the race with 3 other girl friends…all of whom are not runners, trying something new…and we all did it. I am so damn proud of these girls. So, because of that, we are doing a 5k on Mother’s Day. Still decided I am not a runner, but am going to do these sorts of things from time to time to keep it interesting. YEAH US!
Last week was also ‘take your child’ to work day. So, Jacob went to work with Robb in the morning. As you can imagine with the sense of creativity that Jacob has, we had to do everything just like dad, the ‘worker guy’. From dressing like dad, had to have coffee (albeit hot chocolate) in a to-go cup, blackberry on his belt, and ID card to get in the building, and a pen on his shirt. He insisted that he also went out to lunch for business talk. So, Robb being the great dad he obliged…and I even got invited to said luncheon. We talked business, and it was great seeing them interact with one another.
Last, but certainly not least…Isabella had her first Soccer game. The girls were so cute. She had so much fun. Although, I think she is in it for the gear, because she posed for the camera way to many times as the ball would go right by her. She even told us last night her favorite part of the entire weekend was Soccer Day.
So, this week....SUCESS, FUN, ADVENTURES, and lookin' forward to the next. Until next time....ENJOY!
