Did I tell you I started running again? I'm on my 3rd week of Couch to 5K in 9 weeks. I ran my first 5K ever in December of '08. I did one more right after that and pretty much never ran again. Before when I ran, I stuck to the track or the treadmill. I didn't love it because it was so boring. People would tell me to run on trails or sidewalks but I was obsessed with knowing exactly how many laps I was running and just in case you don't know this about me, but I'm not big on change.
I can't tell you how glad I am that tomorrow's Friday. I have a very exciting house guest coming tomorrow night (more on that in a future post) AND I'm getting my hair done Saturday! I'm in desperate need of color. Pretty soon people are gonna start saying my hair is silver instead of dark brown and I'll be answering to Mee Maw.

Totally getting my hair done tomorrow - WOO HOO! It is so overdue...honestly, they could do just about anything to it and I would be thrilled!! Something about a good haircut....
Hoo-RAH for getting the hair did. I love those days. And you run, girl. You run....I'll run with you in spirit. Do I need to record myself for you to add to your MP3 list? Nah, that would be awkward.
So glad you posted. Silence in your corner of the web is NOT ALLOWED!!!
It's good to hear from you again. I'm glad you're enjoying your new place to run! And I think listening to a book while you run is a great idea!! :)
Woohoo! That's amazing! It won't be long now that you can kiss your 20 pds. goodbye!
All right, you go girl! Get er' done. Wow, running I wish I could do that. We have the greatest bike trail down by the river for running, and it's beautiful there. I'm gonna have to take some pics and show you guys! Have a great weekend with your special guest!
Perfect timing! My church is having a 5K to raise money for a children's home in Mexico! I'll sign you up ASAP:) I will really send you the info, though...
Jill,
Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog about my dad :).
I love the Couch to 5K program! I've done it twice (then quit when I got to 5K both times). So easy. I use the podcasts where the music is timed for you and the guy says "okay, time for a fast walk now."
Happy running!
Run on, girl. Run on.
If the Trussville neighborhood you speak of is the one I'm thinking of, we take our bikes over there to ride because it's so lovely and flat and friendly.
I think I know where you're talking about in Trussville. Very nice area!
Hope you have a nice visit with your special guest!!! Glad you're enjoying running! I'm happy if I can walk a few blocks before my body starts aching!
Hi there. I found your blog through Friday Follow. If you would be interested in following my blog, I would gladly return the favor.
hahaha. I had a MeeMaw once upon a time. I think all Southern girls do :) Seriously, next time I'm home we should totally meet! I have an aunt, uncle and 2 cousins in Trussville. Do you know Bill, Mary Evelyne, Liz & William McKee? Probably not, but that's them.
Jill, where have you been? Are you lacking insporation? Maybe if you and Wendy get to go to your grandfather's you'll come back with a story...
We miss you, Jill. Just sayin'.
Girl, you have to post before and afters of the hair. Just for me k??
:)
Lady, you crack me up! I can totally relate to the running issue...I've been back on the wagon as well. I jump off frequently if I don't have something pushing me like a marathon or a bikini :) Have a great weekend!
