Bondi Band and books!

I just ordered a Bondi Band today for a fellow Blogger, Callie, who's raising money for her Aunt's radiation treatment. You have to buy them from Callie's website so the money will go to her Aunt and they are only on sale until tomorrow (August 11th) at noon. $5 goes towards her treatment!  I had been eyeing them anyway, and I thought this was a good reason to buy one! :) I got the pink one, of course. :) Can't wait to wear it! :)

Operation Beautiful: Transforming the Way You See Yourself One Post-it Note at a Time


I received my Operation Beautiful book in the mail yesterday! As soon as I opened it, I started reading and looking through it. Cailtin did an amazing job on it! I can't wait to read it all the way though!






The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training


I also received  The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women! I have read several chapter's and I am loving it! Dawn Dais is great at making Marathon training sound entertaining. She is very sarcastic while telling you exactly how she felt with her runs. After I accomplish my first 5K and 10K, I hope to use her training schedule to train for a Half & Full Marathon!



Can't wait to keep reading these books! Plus I am still reading ChiRunning and Born to Run! I have a lot of reading to catch up on! :)

Park Problem Solved! :)

Looks like I have found my park! It's about 10 min. away driving, but it is totally worth it! My run wasn't all that exciting, but the Park was! :) Here are my new running buddies! :) They are fun to watch while running by! :)  Yes that's my finger...The sun was very bright and I didn't see it! lol :) I just love it all!  Stopping to take pictures! :) I have to Thank my mom who actually Google Maped this Park for me! :) So glad she found it! :)  As for the run, I really don't know how long the trail is, so I don't even know how far I went! I made it all the way around, walking, in less than 15 min. so I am thinking that it is at least a mile. If it is, then I did 3 miles today! If not, then...I don't know! It's times like these that I wish I had my Garmin ! :) For the first 2 laps, I decided to just Run/Walk. I would run 5 min. walk for 1 or 2 min. Then the last lap I just walked the whole time. Just to enjoy it! I just have to say...the hills are

Cowtown Half Recap!

On Sunday, February 24, 2013 I ran my first official Half Marathon!  Before the race started, I met up with these fellow MRTT ladies!  Pic from How My World Runs It was freezing cold (yes 33 degrees is freezing to this Texan! haha) and I was hoping it wouldn't warm up too much because I run so much better in the cold. I ended up wearing my jacket the whole time and was completely comfortable! We had a wind advisory in affect and I think the wind made it even cooler. This was also my first time to run with my new haircut and with my hair down! Didn't bother me at all! Short hair for the win! :) I was in the very last Corral to start. Yes, I know I'm slow. Get Over it!<---Saw that saying on several shirts throughout the race!  Looks like I need one! haha :) I had to post this pic, because I have no idea what I was doing, nor remember even taking it! Haha! About 20 min before the race, I headed to the porta potty's. Yeah, I should have
