three things thursday.

Oh goodness my life is a crazy amazing beautiful wonderful ride that I love and am enjoying.  I feel like this year I have accomplished ZERO when it comes to my running goals and aspirations, but I am a whole new and different person than I was this time last year and I have my friends and family and Kyle and coworkers to thank. 

1. Not running related: but I am SO SO SO SO SO excited for football season!! =)  But kinda running related: Football Season = Fall and Fall = amazing running weather so now when I want to run I won't be able to wimp out and say "but it is too hot....." And fall also = lots of fun local Atlanta races. 

2.  I am running a 10k this upcoming Monday -- Big Peach Sizzler.   It is my 3rd year running it and it is by far one of my favorite races here in Atlanta.  Truthfully, I love all things Big Peach. There is a small chance I may die.  I have not run 6.2 miles in I do not know how long.  But I think I am not going to run it for a PR but just to finish it and see how I am doing.  After all, I need to assess my fitness since I have a freaking half marathon coming up in October and November.  Are there any other Atlanta kids running this race?

3.  We had a foster dog that was amazing and brought so much joy to my life and to Kyle's.  She 100% interupted out lives for 2 weeks and our working out schedule and then she got adopted to an amazing farm in South Carolina and I cried and I cried and as I got myself together and was heading to Stone Mountain to run my phone rang and it was the dog rescue letting me know that "Kennesaw was not going to work out, she has a "cat aggression" so someone needed to go get her".  ....So we have this dog again.  And we are bound and determined to not let her mess up our working out groove since we decided it is for the best and we are just going to keep her.  SO, we're not the proud owners of two fabulous dogs! =D
