5K's Rock

Yesterday I ran in my first 5K ever. Hoooray. It was sooo fun. At mothers day Blake made me promise to run a 5K with him within a years time. I tried to get out of it but to no avail..anyway so I was telling a coworker about it and we became running buddies. Needless to say I guess i didn't need a year to train. On a whim I saw the Wondergirl race posted a window while cruising downtown and thought shoot I should do it.

So I talked to LeeAnn my running buddy and we signed up. It was sooo fun and i am so glad I did it. I was really proud of my self and i wasn't evern last. I had better time than i thought i would too. I am dog sitting right now so i took the pooch with me. I am glad I did. It got his walk out of the way and it was fun having him as my partner. He did really well too (don't worry the owners know i take him running).
I am totally hooked and am planning on doing the next race in Nov. Hooray for running.

Pictures to come.

Way to go on the 5K. I finally got Clayton into running with me. Maybe one day we will traverse the long road to Oregon to run one with you.

Dads Weekend Chili & football

Image
I had to work on Saturday for dad's weekend and you can tell it was really rough! It was dang cold but the food was good and i had VIP tickets to the football game. It was an amazing game and I sat by some very stressed out and intense fanatic males. It was hilarious and of course they offered to explain all the plays for me. One guy behind me got a phone call that when something like this: "I am at the football game and under extreme pressure right now!..." "Yes, i am under extreme pressure! They just got a touch down but are now trying to take away the points."......... "Don't stress me out. I need a time out right now, don't stress me out i am under alot of pressure"..... It must have been his wife but it was extremely hilarious to see a grown man so stressed out over football. Ok, plus he was a little drunk so it made it even more funny. It was perfect weather and all around a great day.

Toby the Wonder Dog!!!!

Blake and I are house sitting/ dog sitting again. I love this dog. He is my adopted child. Toby the Wonder Dog!!!!! So last night I was giving Blake a head massage and Toby started growling at us. It was pretty hilarious to see him soooo jealous of Blake. He is used to just me playing with him and giving him attention. He was wanting his doggy massage. Hehehehehe what a funny dog. We went to the dog park on Saturday for a sunny stroll and to play fetch. We found an awesome field right by the river with no other dogs around. It was perfect to play fetch. Or so i though. Toby and i were having a great old time playing when all of a sudden a little yappy dog came cruising over to where we where. Boy did he want Toby's ball. They both started playing but then the other dog started to get nippy. I did not like that. Anyway I tried to get the dogs collar but he was to quick. Owner still cruising at the other end of the park with not a care.... I had enough so I finally got the ball and h
