This month is kicking my butt!
Between work, kids and Paulo's school auction I am sitting here stunned that next Monday is January 31st. The first month of 2011 is 7 days away from ending?! WTH?! Seriously, I'm freaking out.
So much for my stop and smell the roses start to the year! I stopped to sniff and got trampled by life!
So what's keeping me so tied up? First and foremost is Paulo's school auction. Paulo goes to an awesome school, SW Charter, and our annual auction is a month away. We've been busy little procuring bees but I'm running into roadblocks at the major hotels downtown, a lot of no, sorry, it's the economy when I ask if they could give us a night's stay. Frustrating, understandable, but frustrating. Once the auction passes I think I will breathe a HUGE sigh of relief. I only hope we can meet our auction goals.
Work has been extremely busy-which I'm grateful for.
And then there's just the little details of life, the cooking, cleaning and grocery carting. The homework. The bath time and stories and noses to wipe. And the trying to squeeze in a trip to the gym every now and then. All good things but still busy, busy things.
Oh, and to increase my load I'm considering signing up for a 5K. There, I said it, I put it out there in cyber space for all the world (or those few that read my blog) to see. I've always wanted to but haven't taken the plunge and have been inspired recently by a couple of lovely ladies I know. So now I'm thinking about that and trying to figure out how and when to train for that. Yikes! I ran today on a track for the first time in ages, it's different than running on a treadmill...a lot different.
So there we go, that's what is going down in the house and mind of Krista. It's been a very busy month and I'm ready for that slow down I promised myself, sadly I don't see it coming anytime soon. In the meantime, I need to remind myself to be grateful that no one is sick. That sound you hear? That's the sound of me knocking...on wood.
DO IT!!!!!! Seriously, try Couch-2-5K--seriously awesome. There are podcasts that help as you progress. You can do it!!!!!

Oooo! 5k! You can do it. I'm doing a 10k in April and have NOT done anything since before X-mas. I gotta get on this. When I did my first 5k, I did this:

It's very gym friendly. Try out. Let me know if you need a buddy. I don't mind doing 5k to wet my whistle before the 10k.
Sunshine, I should look at that program, I've heard a lot about it.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, this race is also in April, it's a benefit for Albertina kerr, they also have a 10K option but I'm not signing up for that....yet
We're buying you shoes this weekend and signing you up for that 5K. I'm not leaving until we do.
ReplyDeleteoooh does that mean if I stall I get to keep you here longer? Win/win in my book!
