Happy Spring!

Its been so long since my last blog post!  I really need to write more often.  Where ti begin?  My birthday resolutions totally didn't stick.  I said I wanted to take more pictures and keep in touch with people better and instead I fell off the face of the earth!  Work is so amazing and I am really enjoying it.  It takes me out of my comfort zone and while its definitely not easy, I wouldn't want to do anything else right now.  

I had my first race in months yesterday and man, I was so proud of myself!  I haven't gotten much exercise lately, what with the rain (lame excuse, I know, I just really enjoy being outdoors and get more motivated when its sunny) so I was really nervous I was going to do awful.  It was the Warrior Dash and involved just a few too many walls.  I am definitely way too sore today but I feel so accomplished because I ran the majority of it!  I walked less than I normally do.  I have two more 5k races this month, and signed up today for one in May!  This month I'm doing the Earth Day Eco-fest in Ventura with the lovely Jennie!  Our first race together!  I'm also doing the Color Run in Irvine.  Very excited to get moving again!  So, on the earlier note of birthday resolutions I've decided to make a new goal for myself effective immediately....I want to run one race a month for the rest of the year.  I want to eventually do a marathon and barely making it through 5k races once every few months is never gonna get me there! So I will do one a month and keep improving if I can.  Hopefully by September I will feel comfortable with a 10k and I'll work my way up from there.  If anyone wants to join the fun let me know!  The races are cheaper if there's a team and we can make cute costumes!!

School is going well, just kind of hard to balance my time.  Having a set schedule makes it a little easier but also means I don't have much of a social life.  So I need to manage my time better in the future.  I'm working on it, but old habits die hard.  =(

I got the new iPad and am loving it!!!  In fact, I'm typing this blog on it!  I do about 90% of my homework on it, which is awesome cuz the iPad is much easier to tote around than my laptop.  I was a little bummed because I had to start my Tiny Tower all over again, but now I have two Tiny Towers and that is kind of fun!  Also, Tricia got me hooked on Temple Run and Draw Something, which are so much more fun to play on Prince Mo (my iPad's name) than on Maurice II (my iPhone, yes I am a nerd).  

All right guys, I'm going to try to make a point to update this every Sunday.  There are a lot of mini goals I have for myself and things I want to do, and writing them on here keeps me accountable to them and hopefully I can get some feedback too.  Hope you all are doing well!  Any fun plans for Easter?
