Tuesday Tidbits

- Brink and I ran about two miles tonight. We returned from REI with my new water flasks to put on my running belt (my dog buddy belt) and I pulled the belt with leash off the hook to try them out. Brinkley went nuts with excitement thinking he was going for a run. I couldn't let him down so I changed, clipped on his flashing collar light and my flashing arm band and hit the road. Because it was dark, I ran without music. The weather was perfect and the rhythmic sound of my feet hitting the pavement was a great way to end the day!! Running is addicting!

- Brent and I spent a large junk of our morning at JCPenney's shopping for summer attire. Believe it or not I'm kind of between my "fat" and "skinny" sizes so stuff is either too big and falling off or so tight I can't sit down. Have no fear - Brent and I each got some shorts and tops to get us through the summer!! I'm branching out in style thanks to Brent. And now I won't have to put too much thought into packing!!

- Brent leaves tomorrow - boo! The past few weeks have flown by. And I'm not quite sure I'm ready for everything I have ahead of me the next few weeks. I will need to up my game if I'm going to get everything done while keeping up with my exercise and trying to get things cleaned and packed.

- In addition to the half marathon, Bryn and I are officially registered for Bolder Boulder too!! I'm so excited to have a running buddy!! It keeps me motivated knowing I have a race down the road (ha - pun intended).

- Remember that whole paying off the second mortgage by 2012 tax season?? Consider it done! I have the last chunk sitting in the bank. It's before the tax deadline so booyah!!! I'm not going to send it until after Disney World just so I'm not stressed. Maybe it will also help to keep my crazy Disney spending in check!!
