Three Thrills Thursday

Workout:  3 miles @ 10:20 pace.  Let me add that there was 3,000,000% humidity, so breathing standing still was difficult.  Add a little running and it became nearly impossible.  We did run the last .10 at a 7:10 pace.  That's got to count for something.

Moving right along...

Thrill 1:

I went to prom every year of high school, except my Senior year.  Weird I know.

This is my 10th grade year.  My mouth is wide open.  Surprise, Surprise.
Thrill 2:

I'm getting worried about swimsuit season.  I think my metabolism has stopped working.  I'm positive my quart of hummus and gallon of wine each night has nothing to do with it.  I really must get back on a better eating routine.  If not, I'll need to be purchasing some extra materiel to add to my bikinis.

Why we are on this subject.  When are you too old to wear a bikini?

Spain 2006.  My boobless self.  But my abs were starting to get cut and my thighs were small!
 Jamaica in 2007.  I'm the one in the middle.  Not the topless one in the blue shorts.  
Cancun 2010.  I'm the one double fisting it.
Thrill 3:

Just a little over a week until the Heels and Hills Half Marathon.  We have done a horrible job of training since our last half (March 27th), but I think we should be okay.  I think we are going to be doing this race for fun.  No real time goals.  We are going to try and get a run in this Saturday.  We have not ran more then 3 or 4 miles since the half.  How many miles should we do this weekend?  7?  5?  We should be tapering, but how do you taper from lazy? 

Me crossing the finish line of the Heels and Hills half last year.  My first half marathon.  I thought it was the most horrible thing ever.  It took me 2:36, but I finished.

Another busy weekend with Easter.    However, I am getting my hair did on Saturday!  That is always a great day.  I'm definitely livin' for the weekend these days!

Happy Thrilling Thursday!

What is thrilling in your life this week?

Three Thrills Thursday

Workout:  Nada.  My back was achy. It was a Jillian Michaels day.  I wimped out and slept in.  Where the heck is my motivation?

Thrill 1:

I need to be here...

Scooby Doo!  
Not necessarily there exactly.  But on a beach somewhere.  Where the sun is shining.  Where the water is blue.  An open bar doesn't hurt either.  (Scooby Doo is a tasty adult beverage with Malibu Rum and who knows what else.)

Thrill 2:

We have a strange Easter tradition in my family.  Pinatas.

My grandmother's first try at a Pinata.  You might be a redneck if...
Thrill 3:

I highly recommend a trip to Napa Valley if you dig the wine.  Nice romantic get-a-way.  Let me tell you a little secret.  Book the private tastings.  You get the royal treatment....and more wine!

Look how I color coordinated with the sign.  Fancy.
We have Audrie's Wax Museum at school tonight.  Then it will be Friday!  And then the weekend!  Whoop!  Whoop!

Sunday brings....

You have NO idea how excited I am for that race report!

Happy Thursday Y'all!

What's your thrill of the day?
