Garage Sale and Running

Well this is what my past week has consisted of..getting ready for the garage sale and running. I started last Sunday so that I could have everything ready by Wed. night. Yeah right. Garage sales start here on Thur. I was still finishing up Thur. morning. We did really good though. So that was very exciting. I had such a good day on Thur., I pulled more stuff out of the house on Fri. So I was with the garage sale Thur and Fri. and Josh had it yesterday till about 1:30 when I got home from a race in Hesston KS. It is just north of Newton. It was a 5K (3.1 miles) and I had my personal best. Their clock said 30:00 minutes flat, but my garmin said 29:41, which I don't start my garmin till I hit the start line. When you have a 1020 women/girls walking,running, jogging this takes a bit depending on where you are at in the heard to hit that line. The youngest participant was 2 and the oldest was 90 and just had a hip replaced in Oct. Before that my best had been 31:48 according to the clocks at my last windy/cold race. So needless to say I was very excited! So now it is preparing for the 10K 2 weeks from yesterday. I would love to be down around an hour or so. I ran with a friend of mine last weekend and did it in just over that so I should be good. I hope. I think I am going to do the 2 mile that day as well with my father in law. Lillie is going to do the tot trot which is across the bridge so that will be cute as well! I will have lots of pictures from that race! I need to get some on here. I will have to try to fit that into this weeks schedule. Since I was in the garage this week the house went to pot! I have so much laundry I don't know what to do with and if I dont' wash my running stuff I will be running naked. That would be a site! LOL No, I wouldn't run naked but Britta probably wouldn't be able to stand the smell of me because I would be wearing stinky clothes. Maybe she would be able to pick up her time from trying to get away from me. Anyway, just rambling now. So when we go to Texas if anyone wants to run with me (early morning or late evening) I will let ya!

P.S I got rid of that post and updated some settings so hopefully that will help. That was the first time I got one of those. Glad nobody clicked on it.

Lillie is 2

I had Lillie's pictures taken and some of you have seen these but I wanted to update here with her.
I will be adding running pics as soon as I get them from my 2mile run in March and my 5K(3.1) run last weekend. I will also be running a 5K next weekend and a 10K(6.2miles)on May 10. I am excited about this one. I ran my first 10K ever yesterday and did it in 1hour 4min. I plan on working on doing a 1/2 marathon in September in Wichita. (13.1miles) So who knows maybe next year it will be a marathon. (26.2) :)
