Update

So I thought I might update my blog more with the new year, but I've already started as a slacker.

Updates to my life:

1. My serious training schedule for the half marathon starts in 3 weeks. (Its a 10 week training schedule). I've been doing my homework on it. Reading up on nutrition, stretching, icing, and shoes. I finally made it to Fleet Feet, got me some good inserts and new shoes. I learned a bit about shoes and putting "miles" on them...how long they really last. This may seem extreme, but knowing me, I'd end up hurting myself by going too hard (b/c I tend to push myself) and if I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this 100%! Still haven't made it past 6 miles yet...but I also haven't tried. I'm not worried about 7 or even 8 miles...its more like 10 or 12 miles. PLUS I'm running outside now (even when its 30 degrees) and adding hills because, well, that's all that surrounds me. So, that's good for me because the course is flat!

2. Second semester begins! I now have all new students starting Tuesday. Its always bittersweet because you can start all over, BUT its having the first nerve-wracking day all over again, and I lost all the students I love. :(

3. Brandon starts school soon! He's going back to school, yes, I know, it will be crazier. He'll start in March for online classes and it should only take him a year - thank goodness!

4. Looking for a new car is top of the list! I want an SUV...not midsized. I've always wanted a Tahoe. Its for a family car...so if anyone has suggestions, let me know!

5. New obsession - Ipod touch. ALWAYS on it, except when I'm at school, so all my time at home. This is another reason for not writing on my blog- its so much easier to get on that, but it takes forever to type on it.
