staying in motion.

Not have the time to train the why that I think that I should. I think that this has been one of the biggest things to over come this motion year.
Sometimes I want to get on my pitty pot and whine about not having enough time,  if I cant on one day... just do it on the next day... no need to whine about it, just need to stay in motion.... I am preaching to my self here.
 This is Mays races  the Heels and Hills 10k 5/1/2011.... awesome... my 1st ever. finished it in 1hr 32mins. and the Fireman's 5K this is now my 3rd year for this event... wow 3 years now of in motion!!!

time to get back to normal for the mama

well as you saw in my last post that was over 2month ago ... i was going to be spending all my time with the Lady Falcons JV Softball team. And as you noticed I have not posted any new blog since the season began.
Well I am here now to tell you that in Falcon country the softball season is now DONE!!! Tonight was the last game.... whooop whoop.

Now don't get me wrong... I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching my youngest daughter play ball, but I have little time for anything else .... wake up, work, pick up from practice, wake up work , race to a game after work, go home relax for all of an hour, pick up at 930pm, ... you get the idea.... rinse, repeat... all week long.

After 2month this mama is ready for a break.

needle in a hay stack.

I spend the better part of week last week trying to find rims that matched my cars rims. Did you know there are thousands and thousands of rims too see.

Now let us take a few steps back to Friday Feb 4th. I was T-boned by another drive .$4500 worth of damages.later. the car is in the shop waiting in line with other cars that didn't fair so well with the big ice storm. 

 Here is where the needle in a hay stack comes in. The insurance adjuster call me back a week later and says... because you have after mark rims. and they are not made any more. we can...........

 A.give you a check for $400 for the price on the one rim. or B. try to find a rim that closely matches the rim. I was like are you kidding me. Both of those ideas were crazy. If you cant find them how am I suppose to. So now I am thinking wow i get hit and I am out money on trying to find a set of 20" rims or go with option A. and drive on the spare till I can save the money up for a full set or B look like a stupid car with mismatched rims.

That is when the searching begins. Let me tell you I have NEVER looked at so many rims. It took me 3days and alot of web searches, but I found them!! Once I had the right name of the rims Veloche Rims. there were pages and pages of yahoo web search. I found the needle in the hay stack..... Veloche-Verzio 540 chrome rims!!!!!!!!! The same ones that they said they don't make or cant get any more... I found it.

WHOOO HOOOO!!! now I wont look like a dork or be out $1000  a set ( that is the low end) most set at are about $1600.  Oh Happy Day... the Needle is found.

Happy 5 years!!

This Valentine's Day my sweetheart and I celebrated 5yrs of wonderfulness together.
I know what you are thinking right now... really how corny Valentine's day wedding. Well not for me. I love Valentines Day. I know it is very commercial now.... but I am a hopeless romantic. So what better day to get married but on Valentines Day.
We have a what I thought marriage should be. Fun, silly, loving, respect, and support.
Am I saying that we always get along.
What would you think when two alpha personalities join in blissful holy matrimony. hehehe. We don't have fights... we have what we call ... that point is way more important to you and I respect that, and I don't have to win at this one. Also another great thing about us... is we both know when to leave each other to him/herself.... personal space time... which I think it very important in any relationship.  I love that our relationship is fun, silly and loving. Being able to have that so that yall can truly enjoy each uniqueness. Gene and I support each other unconditionally. I trust him and he trust me so that what ever is going on in our lifes, blended family or jobs that we support each other. So this year Gene and I decided that we would renew our contract with each other for another 5yrs... because it is just that good.

Then and now.... 5 years of blissful holy matrimony

getting off to a great start!

Well this years goals have gotten off to a great start.

January 8 Marcy ,Alys, and myself did our first race of the year. It was really cool to start off with this race. It was a MUST. 45Days to Super Bowl 5K  I post my best time so far 43.01. WHOOOO HOOOOO!!! Just so you know how far I have come, when I started this a year ago I did my first 5K in 57. minutes. I am not fast ..... but I am steady... chipping my time away.

Now that brings me to my  fitness goals for the year.

1. Get my time in the 30's minutes mark and out of the 40's.

2. I will be doing 2 bike race this year.

3. I would like to do a duel  race that is 2mile run 15mile bike and 2mile run.

4. I will be doing a 10K this year ... about mid way thought my racing.

5. I will be doing a Half this year also.

These are my fitness goals.

I do have some other personal goals.

1. cook more ... not so much evening meals being whatever.

2. be more centered

3. de-clutter(physically and spiritually)

4. do my best to not let my joy in life not fade.

These goals are going to be an on going goals!!

I am looking forward!!! Not looking back!!!
