Tonight's the night!

Trail of Lights 5K


The last couple of months have been more hectic than expected what with the flooring changes etc. being out of the house longer than planned. Plus the two grantwriting courses I've been taking are much more work than anticipated. And I'm only half way!

This morning we did have a workout although supposedly not as hard. Well, I'm kinda tired and would like to nap. HowEVER...with my husband and kids being out of the house, I can just see myself finally falling asleep only to be rudely awoken by the brood storming into the house looking for me!

The Trail of Lights will start at 6:30pm but we have to be there for 5:30pm. I'll be sure to bring my camera and will post some pictures tomorrow.

Wish me luck!

Voting started!

Trail of Lights 5K, Austin Texas

Well, next week is the Trail of Lights 5K and the voting has started! If you are inclined to vote for yours truly, by all means! Here is the link to the Austin Chronicle Club Chronicle Challenge. Apparently, it's one vote per email so if you have more than one email and you have nothing better to do..go for it!

I managed to jog/walk 2 miles in 29 minutes yesterday. Of course the full 5K would be 3.1 miles but still! I used to be able to walk 5K in about 50 minutes to an hour so regardless...it'll be an improvement to my time.

I know I need to update you guys but right now, I'm 'it' in the mom/dad tag team.

Please vote, even though I'm not gungho on winning. If anyone else strikes you as vote-worthy, by all means. I'm going to use the Chronicle blog platform (which we will not have for much longer) for recruiting assistance in setting up support for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.
To be continued...
