The rundown:

So far I've completed 6 of my 24 training sessions to prepare for a 5K and I can't believe I'll be ready to run in just 4 1/2 more weeks!  I am putting my full trust in the author of this intense and half crazy training plan, don't let me down Zika!  An elite marathoner, a running enthusiast and someone who runs a running camp?  Come on, I am SO going to rock this race when it comes! (My weak attempt to psyche myself up for today's scheduled exercise - walk 1 mile, run 3 minutes every half mile until you reach 3.5 miles, walk .5 mile)

My google quest is everyday items that can be used as baby toys.  It seems that Samuel is getting tired of the usual toys and wants new and exciting toys.  I've been successful with a wooden cooking spoon and my old nametag from BSF.  Have tried unsuccessfully to pry his interest away from my shoelaces and sandals.  NEED MORE IDEAS!

It's true Saturday night was my first ever time to cook grits.  Can you believe how much butter is in those babies?  Why, why, why would you ever spend so many lucious calories on GRITS???  Just asking.  Though the combination of shrimp and grits and the smooth sauce was delicious.

Until next time mis amigos...

My latest crazy scheme is to compete in a Thanksgiving 5k.  Is it even possible??  I mean, Thanksgiving is less than 6 weeks away and I am not in any kind of good shape.  I caught this wild idea in Fairhope, AL, walking around looking at all of the cute shops.  Window shopping of course, as EVERYTHING in Fairhope is closed on Sundays!  I cam across a poster for their Turkey Trot and I thought, "Why not?".  So on Monday I googled 5k training in 6 weeks and there is actually a training program someone already created.  I just have to follow along!  It is not for the faint of heart, though. After adding all of the mileage and minutes, I saw that each training session is 1-1 1/2 hours long.  What???  Oh well, I'm giving it a shot anyway :).  Yesterday I completed day 3, woohoo!!!

I'll put the link down below so any of the rest of you crazy people can join me if you like!
