My life would suck without you...

This past weekend I was finally reunited with my other half!  Last time we saw each other was in October! That is far too long to be separated.  The past 4 years we haven't lived further than 50 feet from each other and now we live 3 hours apart!  It is tough kids.

Lu is my bestie, my other half, that person I share a brain with.  We usually know what the other is thinking before anything is said.  We met in college we lived in the same dorm, on the same floor and were in the same rush group and ended up pledging the same sorority and have been attached at the hip since. 

I have had several best friends throughout my life but none that really stuck like Lu.  I have no doubt we will be besties for life. yo.  She has become apart of my family.

We are those besties that you probably would get annoyed with easily.  We think we are funnier than others probably think we are.  When we talk we jump subject to subject and finish each other sentences.  One girl once told some of our friends that we only care about each other.  Well that was kinda half true, we like puppies too and food.

We spent the weekend doing our favorite things shopping, eating and drinking.  It was a blast.


Then come Sunday morning I realized how out of shape I am, my legs were so sore from shopping all day and evening Saturday.  So yesterday I made myself go to the gym and started the Couch 2 5K.  I think it will be a pretty good workout and it is only 30 mins. Perfect for me because I get over things quickly and am ready to leave the gym after about 5 mins usually.

I had tried the C25k before but I just timed it on my own and didn't really follow it right, but this time I downloaded the app and it uses the music you have on your phone and I love it so far! So here's to hoping I actually finish it.

Run Forest Run.


I registered for my first 5K like two weeks ago.  

What's that? You didn't know I was a runner?
Shooot. I'm not.

These color runs have looked kinda fun even though nothing about running ever sounds fun to me I kept telling my bestie and G that I would eventually do some type of race, both of them are into that kind of thing.  I decided why not just do it when a color run was going to be in the area and get it over with.

I'm hoping that since I have already paid for this race it will motivate me to start getting some exercise in so I'm not looking like too big of a fool come May when it is time for the race.

 (Maybe I will have PapaC build me a desk like this for it so I can blog and do all kinds of things you need a desk for while running.)

It has been cold and well two things I don't do are 1) the cold and 2) run.  So I am thinking about getting myself a treadmill.  When I had a gym membership I actually didn't mind running on the treadmill.  I don't really know anything about them, but I do know I am not buying a expensive one because well I don't always commit to my ideas.  Mama C thinks I will just end up hanging my clothes on it. Rude.


Do y'all have treadmills?  Is there a certain brand or anything I should look for?
