Status Update

Wow, it's be awhile since I blogged. To catch you up:
We leased a house in Granbury, on the lake :)
We sold our house in Abilene, still closing that deal.
I ran a 10K here in Granbury March 21st, certified course, and got a new PR 52:31
And this last weekend ran a 10K in Austin, the Capital 10K, in 53:12.

Needless to say I have not had much time to blog.

My new coach is awesome, I am doing cross training like never before and feeling very strong. I believe that and losing about 4 pounds has made me faster. Here in Granbury each run has some nice hills...if you can call hills nice! That should help me get stronger as well if it doesn't kill me beforehand.

We are finding a running community here, they are not really an organized community but there are quite a few runners, different groups meeting at different times for different reasons. They all seem very nice and we are looking forward to getting involved. We also plan to go to Fort Worth and run with the club there.

We also joined the YMCA. It's much smaller than the Y in Abilene but they have some awesome Yoga classes. Terry even went with me last week to do Power Yoga which was a "hot" yoga class where they turn up the heat to 90. I am gaining a lot of strength from these classes and enjoy the people. I guess we are acclimating to our environment.

Living on the lake is going to be fun. We just need to get past the house and all we want to do with it so we can enjoy the water. It hasn't been warm lately so it has been pretty easy to stay in and get some things done but I am ready to live in running clothes and a bikini!

I am tired today, ran the Capital 10K yesterday and then waited on Terry and Tanner to drive in after fishing on the Colorado River so we didn't get back from Austin until about midnight. And now I have to work and get more done on the house. I'm exhausted
