I’m So Random

• My little sister is planning her first half-marathon!  Once again, she’s managed to talk me into joining her (except she better not bail on me this time!).  We’ll be doing the Shamrock Half-Marathon in Virginia Beach on March 21st.
• I don’t think I’ll be in full half-marathon shape by March so my plan is to complete Couch To 5K and then do Couch To 10K.  The goal is to run 10K of the half-marathon and then jog/walk the rest.
• I plan to be fully back on the running circuit by Fall 2010.  If my sister likes the half-marathon distance maybe we can do the Suntrust Half in Richmond in November 2010.  I might be ready to be some competition for her at that point!
• A strange part of me wants to run a full marathon again.  ING in Spring 2011? Hmm…  Am I nuts?!?
• I have an appointment with a chiropractor next week.  I hurt my back again on Tuesday.  This is ridiculous.  I feel like I am 65 years old sometimes.  Is my hip next?
• I am a little ticked at my cell phone company Ver.i.zon.  I am happy with the quality of my service but man do they nickel and dime you to death!  I got a new phone and was all excited about easily getting email and using my phone as a GPS.  I clearly didn’t read well enough because to use all those features I have to upgrade to a crazy expensive plan or pay monthly fees of $1.99 or $9.99 respectively.  Why would I pay $10 a month for GPS service when I can just buy one?!?
• I am munching on Blue Diamond Cinnamon Sugar Almonds as I type this.  They are so good!  The bad thing is that they are sard to stop eating them once I get started!
• I think I might fill in the lull in my event schedule with a sprint triathlon.  My town hosts a women’s tri in August.  I’ll be able to run a 5K way before then and I’d just need to practice biking and start trying to swimming again.
• Lewis had his first set of shots a couple of weeks ago.  I said I wasn’t going to cry but I soooo did.  He didn’t cry for long but man did he wail when it was going down!  He cried so hard he went silent.  Mouth wide open, tears in eyes and no sound coming out.  I’m only human.  I can’t watch my baby go through that and not cry.
• He weighed in at 12 pounds 4 ounces.  That puts him in the middle percentile for weight.  He was in the middle for height too.  His head, however?  86th percentile!  Maybe having a C-Section was kind of lucky for me LOL.  My boy has a big old head LOL.
• I’m getting a copy of that Insanity workout by Beachbody featuring the Hip-Hop Abs dude (thanks GatorGirl!).  I saw the informercial and was interested in the intensity and the short workouts.  I need stuff that is 30 minutes or less.
• I still have a copy of Cathe’s Shock Cardio on pre-order.  This fits the bill for shorter intense cardio too.  I can’t wait for this one either.
• I don’t know when I’m going to find time to do either set of DVDs!  I’m doing C25K on my cardio days for now with C210K to follow.  Sigh.
