miscellaneous Monday

• Today was my final Couch to 5K workout and I am thrilled. These last 3 workouts were supposed to be 30 minutes of running each, but instead I did 33, 35 and then 40 today. This is coming from the person that thought she was going to die with the 2 minute running intervals in the beginning…what a difference. My next goal, is to hit 45 minutes of straight running. Technically that would probably be my next workout but, that will be a week away due to the holidays and being gone, so I doubt I will try that my first day back in the gym.

• Why is it that leaving to go somewhere is SO much work? J and I fly to Texas Wednesday afternoon and I am overwhelmed. I cleaned the house and did laundry this past weekend, but now I have to pack and am procrastinating. I did start the packing list, does that count?! Needless to say, I am tired tonight so tomorrow night I will be running around like a chicken with my head cut-off, since we head to the airport as soon as I finish work and drop the sitter off Wednesday afternoon.

• I have one more chapter in the 2nd Twilight book, New Moon before I get to go on. I really wanted to finish it last night, but I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open for the last several pages. The 1st book was definitely better, but the 2nd one is good. Hopefully the 3rd and 4th will follow suit.

• So, Jacey and I went to see The Nutcracker Ballet Saturday night and had a great time. We had awesome seats and for being a small(er) town production, they did a great job. They did confuse Jacey a bit though, because in her book it is a mouse king and in the show it was a mouse queen.
