Update on the ups and downs....

Ahhhh, a bit of a break from all the insanity going on lately...

Have missed keeping this updated and will try for a quick fly-by of everything since April 24th....

April 24th - ran the Crazylegs Classic 6 minutes slower than last year. I would like to blame age and the fact that I turned 35 that day, but I at least ran the whole thing and don't still really know why I finished it slower than the year previous when I ran/walked the race. ;-(

April - training for my 1/2 marathon in August really kicked into gear and currently I'm in some pretty high mileage (for me) runs on the weekends.... did a 9 mile two weekends ago and loved it, hope the 10 miler this weekend feels the same.

May - more running and met a new guy - Scott. He was great, a whirlwind set of dates - 5 in one week!!! And then, hardly anything since. I would really like to know where I go wrong and end up having them lose interest - but the one week was fantastic! Although now, I may be a bit soured to the whole dating thing.

June - so far so good, but busier than sin! Did the Lake Geneva Lake Path walk (half of it) with Kathy, Kristin, Kristin and Madeline and it was a lovely day and an interesting walk. Me being the history buff - I may do it again and purchase the lake path guide and do it at a more leisurely pace so I can get more pictures too. More running this month as well and it has it's moments - humidity and I don't get along very well.... or the crazy heat we've had the last couple weeks. I'm not able to run much in the early mornings, so hot afternoon runs after work are my cross to bear so to speak. I think eventually they will get easier as I find more ways to stay hydrated and cool.

BUT, I've been getting a lot of stuff done these past couple weeks - started baking again much to my waistline's dismay, was given a great idea about the name of my eventual dessert catering business (Sweet Endings) and have been applying for part-time jobs so I can finally move!!!! Home Depot, Borders and US Cellular apps are all in and have a few more to do, so keep your fingers crossed for me. ;-)
