Some Updates

Randomness:

1. Heading to Phoenix on Thursday to see this lovely couple get married

My cousin Brian and his bride Meredith

2. 50 days until school is out for the summer (well, 47, but I have to come in for the last few to report grades and to take down my classroom). 36 days if you don't count weekends!

3. Laura finally gave birth to Noah! He was actually due the 14th, but was born yesterday (4/29) around 1 pm. Welcome to the world Noah!!

4. I get married in 89 days. Sometimes it seems the days are flying by, sometimes they are crawling.

5. The Warrior Dash is in19 days! Here is the video I am using for inspiration

A Challenge...

I was perusing my blog list this morning and came upon one of my favorite blogs, Recipe Girl. She usually writes about recipes (so good!). But this morning she had a different type of post. She is putting together a challenge of healthier living called the Ten in 10. Basically, 10 weeks to a healthier life, starting on January 2, 2010.

I decided to join.

I know what you are thinking. And yes, I did have a running challenge last summer (although I didn't keep at it, I did manage to run 3 miles in 32 minutes). And yes, I did sponsor a Biggest Loser type challenge with my family (I don't know if I mentioned this, but Daniel won, losing about 25 lbs! I came in second with 15 lbs)...

But I always need something to motivate myself and I feel that this can be the challenge for the new year. I have some trips planned for January and February and hopefully this challenge will keep me on track during the trips.

My own personal slogan is "Getting my Rear in Gear" (I smile every time I say it).

Will you join me?
