My big, big girl!!!

Gosh, 11 days from Miss. A's 2nd birthday and she Is growing up too fast!! This morning after breakfast I went to change her diaper and decided I'd put her on her potty before her bath. She sat and sat and wanted up a few times. I was adamant about her staying until her bath was ready...I look over and she has a confused look on her face as she was pping in the potty!!!!!! I had to cover my mouth to refrain from screaming so she would continue. Once she was through I screamed and clapped and danced and screamed and cheered for about 5 minutes. I'm pretty sure I scared her to death. On one hand I hope we can continue this but on the other I'm sad for my baby girl in diapers to be growing so fast! I know this is not it but her days of being trained are approaching rather abruptly. Here's to the days of potty training that lie ahead...

My sweet girl & her treat.

C25K week 1,day 1

Ouch. That's all I can say about day 1, as I can only imagine what I'll feel like tomorrow. (started Couch to 5k) Not really sure why I started today when R will be out of town for the next 2 days. Oh well, I'm sure little r will enjoy running briefly with me while I push miss. A in the stroller. We'll see.

I've never been a runner. I've tried and have always been too winded to continue. I'm a sissy. I'll admit to it. But now, I feel so out of shape it's ridiculous. I am determined to do this! Not to lose weight but just to get in shape and do it. I've participated in many sports teams and 5ks but have never been able to say I've run the entire thing. I.want.to.do.that. Here's another little number on my "bucket list", are you ready? I want to participate in a half marathon. No, I didn't say I'd be able to run it in its entirety but I sure as heck would try. My mother who is a runner has done several and I've been there to cheer her on and to see what an amazing accomplishment it is and I.want.to.do.it! Not this year, maybe next.

Goin to keep this journal going so someone out there can help keep me accountable, that's if I even have any readers. Lol!! I've been so random with my blogging people have probably forgotten about it.
Here's to learning how to run a 5k without walking and to Kristen who is going to do it with me (my accountability partner). Wish us luck!
By the way if you have an iPhone I strongly advise you to use the c25k app...that lady (mine's name is now Lucy) tells me in the middle of my songs when to walk/run. I love it!!!
