That Curl can RUN!

Soooo many pictures!!!!!!  I did make it to the gym this morning, thank you very much. I worked up a sweat like nobody's business. Really. Nobody wanted any part of that business, it was gross. We are in week 4 of the 12 week program. It's not going the way it was intended, as we both slacked last week due to school work (her) and vacation (moi). Regardless, we aren't giving up. She has gained 2 lbs since school started and I'm just not at the fitness level I'd like to be. We will keep going, and I'll keep you posted on our progress. Today: 7 mins, 2 rounds each. Repeat. 10 burpees 20 jump lunges 24 step up w/ knee up 15 sumo squats 100 reps jump rope 24 walking lunges 30 reverse lunge w/knee up 15 jump squats We finished almost 2 rounds of each, only being a bit short on the 4th exercise of the second round. Dead. D.E.D Dead. Yay fitness. I'm eating free Oreo's that I discovered in the lunch room right now... _______________________...

Oh blog friends, how are you?? I'm a little more tan, a little more tired, and a little more tense. Back to reality, but back to the good part of reality. I went to Florida last week, in case you didn't know. I stayed with my sister, nephew, and niece. I ran some, I slept some, I swam some, and I ate some. I'll share all the deets with you tomorrow, ugh, I just used 'deets', I hate that. I have some pictures to share also. For today lets just take a moment of silence for our loss of freedom because we had to come back to work...... Ok! The 2 best, best, best parts of the whole trip were seeing Prell in Florida, and the dude came home. Getting away from it all is much better when some of it is still around. I had a fantastic time with my 'home' gal on vacation, and a fantastic time coming home to see my fave. Thanks for checking back today. I hope you weren't too disappointed that I wasn't around a lot last week. Even part-time bloggers ...

Where in the world is Carmen SanDiego? 

Hello there! Greetings from SEOK. It's hot, it's hot, and it's hot. The good news today is that it's my FRIDAY!!!! Shhhh, don't tell anyone, I don't like my business being made public. I will tell you that I won't be at work for the rest of the week, but I'm not saying what I'm doing. So don't go snooping around my house trying to find out where I am. Weirdos. I plan to run this week, so I have that going for me. I'll keep you posted on how it goes, and if I keep up with R4G's half marathon training. Today I get my new tooth too! So hillbilly. Since I won't be available much this week, I thought I'd share all the things I've been doing since last (real) Friday. ______________________________________________________________________ I visited my parents, brother, SIL, nephews, and niece! Dad isn't a big fan of pictures. Sometimes I can get him to pose, but this trip was not one of those times. Mom was...

It's here: Friday. I say that without an exclamation mark because it's with limited excitement. Good things about this Friday: I came to work late because I was at church camp.  I got to have a 1.5 hr drive with the dude this morning. I have coffee. It IS Friday. I'm going to see the parental units today. It's payroll day. I look nice. Bad things about this Friday: It's payroll day. The beardface leaves today. I'm not tan. It's crazy busy at the office. Regardless of how I weigh the situtation, it IS a good day. God gave me this day, and I won't squander it. ________________________________________________________________________ Jesus + nothing = EVERYTHING This is faith + girl crying here. Last night's sermon at the cabin took my little battered heart and loved it, and petted it, and squeezed it, and called it George. I've read a lot, and talked a lot, and thought a lot about not focusing on my 'works'. W...

I'm back from the Cali coast. ...I know, I don't know why I came back either! Friday morning I got in a 5 mile run, on the California hills. I want you to know that I didn't plan to run 5 miles because I can't run that far; or so I thought. I was TRICKED into running 5 miles by being told we were running 3 to 4 miles. West coast running coach :  We'll do 3-4 miles. Can you handle that? Running Curl :  Yeah, I think so! Cut to 45 mins later. WCRC :  Ok, so if we add one more mile,... RC :  ANOTHER MILE?!?!?! WCRC :  As I was saying...if we add another mile, you'd have your 10k. That was 5 miles. Congrats! RC :  (wheeze, wheeze, pant, pant) Huh? Awesome! I'm going to kill you! Can we walk now? I feel amazing. I think I'm dying. Ok, I'm good. It's time for a mimosa. I spent time in the pool, the hot tub, and on the rooftop deck. I did morning yoga on that deck btw. I'm sure our friends' neighbors enjoyed that sce...
