5k

Blah! First of all Let me say that I Am not a runner! The farthest I’ve ever run was in middle school when we were required to run a mile in gym class… J well Russ has always wanted to run a 5k so for his birthday (july 4^th) we decided to fulfill that wish and run 3.2 miles or a 5k…. Wowy zowey. He has been so faithful in training for it and he is so prepared.…. Me.. not so much. So far I’ve practiced twice.. oops. The first time I ran 1 mile and it really wasn’t that bad at the time but the next day I was sooooo sore. So I gave myself a long time to recover, i kept convincing myself that I was still too sore to run again( I wasn’t being lazy or anything….) ;) Well Last Friday I decided since the race was only a week away I better buck up and try again… so I got on the treadmill with a lot of determination and ended up running the entire 3.2 miles!!! I couldn’t believe it! I was so proud of myself. I ran at a slow speed of 5.0 and it took me 40 minutes but I still finished! Yahoo! I’m not racing anyone but myself so I am very happy with 13-14 minute mile… what can I say? I’m an old woman who is out of shape. ha.. J

Little Brock...

How scrumptious is this little boy? Oh he is so cute… Little Brock belongs to my cousins Bricannie and Chad Iverson. He has the most amazing long hair and the cutest little button nose... I just wanna squeeze him!

Mom post

I'm going to be a "mom" for a minute and post about "mom" things. No offense mom's out there... I enjoy reading your blogs :).... Anyways-- so I live in a way old house and of course we don't have soft water so every time I wash my whites they always come out a little gray... bummer... So my mom introduced me to "White King Ultra Water Softener", (sorry about the way ghetto picture-it's the only one on the internet) It has truly transformed my white clothes :) It's like miracle in a box. If you don't have soft water-- TRY IT! You'll never be happier with your ghetto washing machine.....
