Oh yes! TGIT!!! I'm so glad it's Thursday, anyone else? It has been a short week due to the holiday, but anyone else feel like this week has just drug on? Not only was it a short week because of our day off on Monday, but I also have Friday off for my normal 3-day weekend. So in essence I've only had a three day work week. I know, I know...you can start hating on me now.
That being said, I don't really have any plans for this long weekend. So hopefully I can get rested and have a nice long run this weekend, 10 miles is in the schedule for Saturday morning! Woohoo! Haven't run that far in months, so to say I'm nervous is a huge understatement.

Training: Am I doing it and what for?
It's been a while since I posted anything about training for a race and if I had anything on the horizon. Between dealing with my back issue and not being able to run for over a month, my focus had turned to getting better rather than concentrating on my races coming up. So to answer the statement above, yes and yes. I am training and I have several things on the horizon.
Right now I am training for two half marathons with several smaller races mixed inbetween. Lets take a look at what I'm working towards.
My next race happens to be a 10K on June 15th. It's the Fall City Days Run, I will be running the 10K to try and get a new (and fast!) time for submittal to my half marathons for good corral placement. I have never run in Fall City before, however the website touts a flat and fast course, so hopefully that will be to my advantage! It will actually be my taper run before my next BIG race!
On June 22nd I will be running the Rock n' Roll Seattle Half Marathon.

Momentum Monday: Being Thankful
Today is a Monday, but also a holiday for our country. Not all people have the day off, nor do most people think about why we have the day off. Most are just glad that they don't have to go to work and are able to spend time with family and friends while barbequing or enjoying the time together.
Today is Memorial Day, where we celebrate and remember the men and women who have fought and even died while serving and protecting our country and its ideals. Most of us will never know what it is like to serve in the military, yet most of us has been affected by it in a very personal way by relation to someone who is or was serving our country.
So today, I am wanting to say thank you for my Momentum Monday to all the people who fight everyday to keep our country safe and afford us the privileges we commonly take for granted.

"The Jam" Thursday - What is blowing up my iPod
It's Thursday and eerily quiet at every place I've been today. The roads were pretty empty during my commute. The Starbucks I go to which usually has a stream of people going in and out of, only had a couple of patrons. My office building is like a ghost town! Hardly anyone around and all the offices are dark. I'm sitting here wondering..."where is everyone? Is there an event I'm missing?"
Then it dawns on me, Memorial Day is on Monday. ::slapping palm on forehead::
I'm guessing everyone is getting a jump start on their holiday weekend. Though don't know what people are going to do in this area, there is NO SUNSHINE on the weather outlook for at least another week. It won't even be sunny on the coast! Sand and rain, woot woot! So I hope everyone is going somewhere that is warm and sunny! As for me, I will be having a stay-cation. Just enjoying time at home and maybe catching up on some much needed sleep. :)

Momentum Monday: Confession
Hello Monday...we meet again and way too soon for my liking. I had a PACKED weekend with my best ladies and met some amazing women at the conference I was at, Mamacon! What is Mamacon, you ask?
Mamacon is a conference geared towards women in all stages of motherhood, to give them a day (and then some) to gather with other moms to share stories, tips, tricks, and commiserate on experiences. There are guest speakers that have backgrounds on many different topics from how to organize the clutter to how to dress your body type. This is the second year this conference has been held in Seattle, and is branching out to Chicago on October 5, 2013. So all you East Coast and Midwest mothers, mark your calendars and friend Mamacon on Facebook for more details.
