FIRST PLACE!

Oh my gosh - I can't believe it... I ran my first ever 5k (I mean I ran the entire way - and I've never even run a full mile before!) and guess what... I GOT FIRST PLACE IN MY AGE GROUP. Yes, it was a small race, but still. I was pretty proud of myself! I'm totally obsessed with running now!!

Anyway - I look like poop, but here is my first place medal hehe.

OFFICIAL TRAINING STARTS

Call me a dork - but I have been EAGERLY awaiting the "official" 24 week training to start and IT'S HERE!!!! I have been right on top of things and even decided that I think I want to become a runner!!! I'm doing the Peachtree Road Race in July and have always wanted to run the whole thing (10k) but I am by no means a runner. I figured during my 3-day training I can try to start running too!

I've already signed up for a 5k this weekend and one next weekend. It's a great way to get in my miles, get a t-shirt, and mix it up a bit!! I'll keep you posted... but so far so good!!

Beach Shoes, Shower Shoes... same difference

The first day we were down at the beach we fished a LOT... and while I was lathered up in 50+ waterproof/sweatproof sunblock, I neglected to keep my feet out of CONTINUOUS water which resulted in some bright pink feet! I found these great beach shoes to shield my tootsies from the sun while fishing and then it dawned on me - these would make EXCELLENT shower shoes for the 3-day!! AND THEY ARE PINK! So I'm very proud of my little pink shower/beach shoes... they work great for kayaking too! Now just to get my pink kayak.. hmmmm.....

I'm On Island Time!!

I know I've been MIA for the past few weeks. We are heading to the beach TOMORROW MORNING and I have been rushing around trying to get some work done!

We had our 2nd attempt at Market Day today - I was all ready to go with bath salts and cute containers... and an hour after we got set up - it rained... hard.
So - we packed up and went home. We will attempt Market Day for the THIRD TIME next month on June 7th. Pray for NO RAIN THIS TIME.

However - in the first hour we made $67! Not too shabby for being in the rain!! Everyone loved the bath salts - they were a huge hit!

And now for my pink item.... My very favorite "I'm On Island Time" koozie that I got 2 years ago in St. George Island (no mom, I'm not really drinking that beer... ). That's where we are headed tomorrow for a week. I absolutely CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!

See ya when I get back!!
