i was pain free. completely. i'm healed from surgery, i'm healed from that damn muzic bed, and from my back spasm. you know what that means? my first work-out!
it was awesome. i am signing up for the colorado half marathon again, this time, with a friend that i met in grad school last semester. we are run/walking it, which i'm psyched about. supposedly this will lessen the pain astronomically.
i also ran into the person that I'm hiring as my personal trainer. i'm so excited, never had a personal trainer before, but i think i love her already. i never thought that i would be THAT person that had one, but i figure that she will keep me on track, help me to reach my goals and she's a nutritionist to boot.
we are scaling down somewhat on our skating marathons this year, and while we had planned on doing something we have not done, which is take a vacation to somewhere other than Minnesota, we made some other plans and goals along the way.
1. we are playing a grocery game. this game entails us eating on a budget and by budget, i mean hardly any money. o.k., it's not THAT bad, but really, it will be a far cry from what we have been doing for the past 4 years.
2. we are going on a road trip. we had planned on going to Hawaii, but really, i cannot bring myself to do that and spend that money, when we have things to save for right now, that could be way amazingly better than Hawaii.

I thought about personal training just to get me back on track but sigh! The cost!
It's amazing how buying a piece of furniture changes the outlook of a room. You're going to feel like you're living in a whole new home!
Wow, I can't believe it's marathon training time! Last year was just a blur, b/c, like your birthday, I swear you just ran this marathon... last month even. Ha!
Yay for the trainer -- I had gone to one before and they pushed me so hard on the test, that I got tendinitis and couldn't use my arms for months or else I'd risk a tear. HA! It's hard to find good ones, so I'm glad you have one you like!!
I hear ya on the furniture front too! Mike and I have lived in our house for almost 5 years and we still don't have a proper bedroom set. We slowly piece things together from Ikea... And I can't even imagine how you lived in a bedroom with NO DRESSER?! You are amazing - woman! lol
When are you roadtripping -- and where?! We are roadtripping this year (most likely) Route 101, down the Pacific Coast and then a different route back up.
PS. Mike wants to start skating like we used to, but I'm soooo scared of falling and getting hurt... I don't know why
