Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to anyone who reads this...should I even keep trying this? I mean, it's not like I am good at posting anything. Ooo! I will get and post a picture of our new car. :) Also, I am rereading "Lord of the Rings" right now, and let me tell you, those Ringwraiths are actually pretty creepy...

Other than that, all I can say is for Camron to be sure to put up his Taylor Lautner poster.

TWO WEEKS AND COUNTING...

So I officially have only two weeks left of my half-marathon training! I have been doing pretty good I think. I did liek 10.5 miles today and will start toning down my weekly workouts to prep for the race. I finally got new shoes which worked really well on the first run. I just need to get over the hurdle of my aching knees, which, thanks to years of soccer, are a common thing these days. I load up on some ibuprofen but wish there is something more I could do during the run. Oh well, I will now concentrate on my strength and conditioning. Last week I set the grade on the treadmill up to like 5 or 6 for two miles and it was killer! (Try for a quick hard workout...) My hamstrings haven't been that sore for a while...

Well, go me...right?

Wish me luck!

So I don't know what I am thinking, but I have decided I am going to train for a half marathon. I started slow then we went on vacation last week, and suddenly I only have seven and a half weeks to train! I have put together a training schedule and listed some lifestyle changes I need to work on in order to do my best. (Poor Dr. Pepper...I will need to cut back on you!)

Needless to say, I looked at the times online for the Top of Utah half marathon last year, and I don't think I could get the $200 overall prize for getting done the quickest...ha ha (geez, the winning time for the ladies was like 1 hr 20 min). Although they will have some big prize drawings...Anyway, I think it would be really cool to say I have completed something like that and it is a good goal, regardless of how long it really takes me. 'Cause how many people can say, they have run 13.1 miles at once before! Hopefully I can stick to my guns and get it done!

I am looking at doing the Top of Utah half marathon on August 28, which looks like a really great run. Anyone have some good advice? Wish me luck!

Man, I suck...

Ha ha...I suck. How long ago did I say I was going to re-post on the blog? I challenge myself to do one within seven days! Get texting to remind me. (It's harder when there is not anything real exciting to blog about...)

Back to Blogging...

Yay! I finally got back to the blog! Now that I remember our login I will get some pics of the new hizzie up! Everyone say hi :)

Ah! School!

Oh man! It's only a third of the way into the semester and I am already burned out. Besides that, I have a few self-righteous professors that really make it go longer. Well, I just need to keep my eye on the prize! Only a year and a half left and I will be a legitimate teacher (hide your kiddies he he)

My OCD...

Kirsten's not the only Seamons girl with weird OCD habits. I also have to chew a certain way. I used to be bad enough that I had to chew the same amount of times on each side as well...Anyway I have moved on to bigger and better things. A few of mine are...

• I have a system at work for getting to tables that if I get thrown off, I can be kind of a wreck...:)
• I can't mix and match foods...remember the large chicken breast I threw in my lap on accident one day in Chili's, Kirsten and Chiki, just so I wouldn't have things mixing on my plate?
• I have an odd habit of having to pick between my fingernails, but when I do it I have to do it to all my fingers and do it at the same time to the same fingers on each hand simultaneously...(like I have to pick at my pinkies and the same time)
• I am not always the most tidy person (right mom?), but when I have a particular way to organize something it HAS to be done that way or else it doesn't seem done.
  

I am sure that Jer could think of a bunch more...he's always teasing me for it. Anyway, anything else you guys have noticed about me, let me know (be nice!)
