2 miles on the treadmill. They were awful miles that made me think that I’ve completely lost all of my fitness, so there’s that.

Then I saw that @theholidayhustle gave us 75 jumping jacks so that is my face post-jumping jacks. The worst.

The good news is that there is about 19 weeks until the Lincoln Half marathon on May 1st. So I have time to get myself together and hopefully get into fighting shape fast!

Monday Things

  • Today is my beautiful Momma’s birthday. I made that collage and posted it on Facebook for her. She’s the best mom ever. I lucked out.
  • I hung out with the Nebraska Governor again this morning for a meeting about a program. We all were introducing ourselves and when he got to me he said, “We met last Monday at the Mansion! How has your first week been? Do you like it so far?” GUYS. I’m Memorable to the Governor! How cool is that?!?!
  • We’re having a food day on Wednesday for a girl who is leaving so I’m making Cranberry bread. I might take that or I might make banana bread tomorrow. Who knows? The world is my oyster!
  • I ran when I got home from work tonight. I did not want to, but I drug myself off the couch and did it. Then I saw I had to do a bunch of lunges and squats per @theholidayhustle so now my legs are shredded and running tomorrow should be fun!
  • I’ve been struggling with running lately. It’s no secret. I’m trying to get myself together because I plan on running my 12th Half Marathon in May when I run the Lincoln Half again. See also: I want to lose about 10 more pounds. I am seriously considering hiring Sabrina because I appear to need a kick in the pants.
  • I’m considering downloading Tinder again. That is how I met my ex and I deleted it (obviously) when we were together. But then I think, do I really want to open THAT can of worms? But it appears Mr. Right isn’t going to come randomly find me so I guess I have to be a little proactive. Dating is THE WORST. 

Make it a great week friends!

My apologies if we’re friends on Facebook…because then you’ve already seen this. However, it’s too good not to share here as well.

So this just happened…I went to the grocery store this afternoon and was greeted by Santa Claus! He gave me a candy cane, said he wondered when I would be coming to see him, and told me I had to sit on his lap if I wanted a photo!

@thatsminethankyou and @undressedlunch both tagged me in the 6 selfie challenge. Sorry for the delay friends!
The 4th photo is from when I picked up my former roomie and the oar she bought for her fiance for Christmas and dropped her downtown. It barely fit in my suv! The dog is my roomies dog Reggie. And the last one is a picture from my day of shopping last week. I liked that dress, but couldn’t justify it.

I’m tagging @morningmiles @r-in-the-real-world and @livelaughlovearedhead

My day in pictures.

As I was stopped at a red light this morning I saw that sunrise in my rearview mirror. I thought that picture was pretty cool.

Also, I got my employee id card today. It gets me in to the building, and into my area at work. I deal with a lot of sensitive information so they keep it locked up. I have 24 hour access and am authorized to drive state cars! Pretty cool!

I found out more of what I’m going to be doing…and I’m pretty excited about the scope of it all. It’s awesome that I’m trusted to do so much!

Have a great week friends!
