Flat KO and a 5k!

This week I was able to mark two things off my list! (Three if you count this blog!) I know every week will not be this productive, but it was a strong start!

With the help of my favorite Nun, I was able to make my "Flat KO". We actually made two versions, a serious one and a goofy one; just in case her travels take her to some fancy occasions! Currently, she is on her way to the Middle East with Little Jenny, for her first adventure! My hope is to make a photo album of all the places she goes.! Luckily, I have some amazing friends who have already requested her for their upcoming trips.


The next item to get marked off was a 5k. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I am NOT a runner...like at all. If I had to run for my life, well I would die. I signed up for this 5k back in June, and talked Meagan and Brittany into doing it with me! At first, I thought I would train hard core and would be able to run the entire thing! That did not work out so well, ha! I began telling people that I would start off and finish jogging and whatever happened in the middle happened! I did finish jogging and was able to do so in under 45 minutes which was my goal! Thanks to Brittany, who definitely missed her calling as a professional motivator!

The day started with me waking up at 5 am and driving downtown. Again, if you know me that in itself would have been enough for a medal! I was able to get Brittany and I downtown without getting lost, hitting a parked car, or killing us! We met up with Meagan and began to freak out for the next hour until the race begun. There were about 2,000 women, most who looked like they had been running since they were born. However, we all survived and finished!! I know that I absolutely loved it! And while, I will never be a runner, I am thinking an extremely fast walker will be just as cool :)


That is all for now because my mom is telling me to leave...since I still using my parent's Internet! I really need to get on that particular item :)
