sin city

headed to sin city this weekend and it's always a love it/hate it kind of place for everyone. it seems like there's almost no one who goes there and just relaxes, goes with the flow, and enjoys the sheer spectacle of it all. everyone seems to go with some goal, intention, unspoken plan in their pocket which i find very entertaining as a spectator.

my enjoyment is the sheer ridiculousness of the entire town and the people in it. yes, i'm specifically referring to the strip and the multitude of outrageous outfits, hair styles, levels of drunkenness and intelligence and not the locals as i'm sure they are lovely people! i have no doubt this weekend i'll see plenty of the above while cruising the strip and hanging in the lazy river.

no matter what happens, i'm sure it'll be an entertaining time and i'll have lots of stories to tell. i'm seriously excited about going to see the jabbawokeez!! hope everyone out there has a good weekend as well :)

good to dream the dream

so there's a new scheme a brewin in my head and heart! it makes me smile to think about and dream the hope of one day making it a very real part of my world :)

i find it's been a great distraction and a happy place to turn to when work is overwhelming or underwhelming as the case may be. it's good for me to have positive thoughts that can carry me throughout the long nine to five days that consume my weeks.

so here's to having a dream and letting that warm your heart, thoughts, and bring a little color into every day! i hope you find yours to carry you throughout your days :)

it's a love / hate thing

well, back at the blogging world and back into running and it's been too long!

started really running again starting this past monday and it's not going badly so far. yesterday's run was a decent one considering i'm just getting back into it.....2 miles in 23minutes. well off my previous half marathon pace but is getting me to where i can actually conceive of the half marathon in december and january!

part of it is motivated by the desire to feel better by exercising and having a regular routine of exercise. part of it is motivated by my skinny bin under my bed that has all the clothes i used to love to wear but cannot fit into at the moment. the other part is motivated by my Simmones wedding at the end of the year and i plan to look GOOD!

i'm excited so far by the motivation since i've not had it in a good year and a half if not longer. i'm looking forward to the quick progress that i'm sure i'll have as long as i keep it up as i'm sort of surprised by how easy it's been so far!

good running to all!
