5k, part 2!

i will be at the genesis women's shelter make the break 5k a week from saturday. if you're in the dallas area, you should too! the money goes to a great cause and it's a good reason to get up early on a saturday and start the day off healthily and actively. if it weren't for this 5k, i would be sleeping til 2 pm all slothy-like so i totally understand the impetus behind laziness, but give a thought to coming out and supporting a great charity at reverchon park.

update!

hello, friends in blog land. it has been quite some time, because i have been busy as a bumblebee these past few weeks! i've had quite a few dread appointments recently, and jason and i just moved across town to our beautiful new house. i also have some exciting running news!

i ran my first 5k on march 13 and finished with a chip time of 48:49 and a gun time of 52:27. it's abysmally slow, but i don't care because i finished the damn thing and i didn't even finish in last place. i was 2827 out of 3031 timed racers. for someone whose legs would go numb from stress after walking a quarter of a mile a few months ago, i'm incredibly proud. i'm running another one next month and jason is going to train with me as part of his "recover from surgery" plan. we went running together at the track last week and it was really, really cool. my goal is to be able to run the whole race next time. once i have a handle on actually completing the course while running, i'll start to focus on improving my time.

i'll post my latest running playlist soon! i'm up to 30 minutes of nonstop running and a good playlist is essential to me being able to muscle through.

lish attack!

my friend lish compiled a group of pictures of the headgear i've created for her over the past year or so and i thought i'd share with you all! she rocks a totally badass set of locks, too!













enjoy! :)
