let the countdowns begin!

Countdown #1: Only 2 weeks before spring break, and I'm stoked about being a couch potato for a week! Sure, a vacation would be nice, but I have to save my pennies. Unfortunately, teachers don't get paid in the summer :( Actually, I'm really looking forward to just laying low and relaxing. I can't way to get my camera out, work on my scrapbook, watch my favorite talk shows all day, and just doing whatever. Ooo...I'm getting anxious just thinking about it!

Countdown #2: I just finished up 9 miles, and I feel great, even though I forgot to take my dose of Aleve. Ryan warned me that it was kind of chilly outside, but I figured I'd be okay once I started running. I headed out the door in a short sleeve shirt, pants, and jacket, which I planned to ditch once we got to the trail. I took it off when I got out of the car, stretch for a minute or two, then when right back to the car for my jacket. It was about 40 degrees, and I could see my breath. Just too cold without a jacket! We began our run at exactly 8:17, and as we parted I said, "I'll see ya back at about 9:47." We laughed, and then we were on our way. About 3 miles in, I took off my jacket, left it on a wooden post, and just hoped it would be there on my way back. Bad idea! My arms were so cold! I survived though and picked it up on my return. I finished up the last 3 miles and came in at 9:47:45. Only 28 days before the big race!

On today's agenda: grocery store, the mall, and the movie I Love You, Man :) I love Saturdays!
