I can hardly believe that today is June 30th, hence today is the very last day of the month, which means that an entire month of my summer break has quickly dissolved into only memories, weird how quickly that happens.....
Not that I've been sitting around just twiddling my thumbs, watching TV & vegging, I could only wish that I had the luxury to do that, but alas, summer is flying by & I'm incredibly busy, but it's been quite fun! I've been busy running, junior leaguing, emailing, conferencing, & unfortunately NOT cooking, which makes me really sad! Usually summer is my prime time to get back in the kitchen, but it just hasn't happened yet. I'm hoping July will lend it self to cooking, fingers crossed**
July is promising to be just as busy! More of the same....it's still nice to have this time & I'm not going to lie, I have spent a few hours here & there just sitting on the couch, being lazy, watching re-runs of Grey's Anatomy & Sex and the City. I've also gotten to see VEEP & Girls, which are both HI-LARIOUS! Thanks HBO!
With my 30th birthday looming in less than 30 days now (27 to be exact) I wanted to do some sort of countdown or like bucket list or something. I thought about starting it on June 26th, exactly ONE month before my bday, but I was driving back from the Valley & it didn't lend itself, then I was like, ah, oh well, not gonna do anything, but then on Thursday I got a brand new point & shoot camera & I got an idea, why don't I start on July 1st (my birth month, best month ever, just FYI) & take a pic of the coolest thing I do that day or the coolest thing that I see that day. GENIUS!
This idea is actually a play of something I do with one of my best friends, except with her it's...."Weirdest/Randomest Thing I Saw on my Run Today", and trust me, we both see some weird/random stuff (chancla, chonies, live chicken, preggo test), I tell no lies! So for 26 days I'll chronicle my life through pictures...through the eyes of an almost 30-year old....ah, it's the best I could come up with.
We'll see how well I can keep up with it....Stay Tuned!

2012 Resolution: June Race
Race Goal: 35 minutes. My leg of the race was 3.7 miles & our overall goal was 2 hours for a 1/2 marathon relay (between 4 folks)
Actual Time: 35:15, so I was a little off, but not bad, I guess. I wasn't super happy with my performance because I know I could have done better, but you deal with what you deal with. I have something to work towards! :)
Our total team time was 2:01:42, so oh well, a little off, but I think we all did awesome!!
The Race: I ran the Carrabas 1/2 Marathon 4-person relay at McAllister Park on Saturday. I was the 1st leg/longest leg of the race. Good & bad with that....I got the relatively "coolest" portion of the race, but it was still way humid. The race overall was so fun! I highly recommend running relays when it comes to 1/2 marathons, that's really the only way to do it! ;)

Who'd I run with?: Team 2Fat 2Furious
Team Members (in order of race legs)
Myself, Matt, Lake & Mireya
We kinda pulled this together in the last 2 weeks & I'm so glad that I was able to find 3 other folks to run with me! I'm not sure what I would have done had I not run this race. My "usual" group of running ladies had run a race last Saturday, but Lake & I were in College Station for a wedding, so I was out for that one.....this race ended up being SUPER fun & I think our group had a great time with it! :)
Coming Up (July Race): I'm running the SARR 4 Miler Freedom Run on Wednesday, July 4th. Leah & I will be running this together. Or, well at least I'll try to keep up with Leah during the race, we'll see how that goes though.....
I'm "goaling" my time at 37:30, so we'll see how it goes. I've been able to run quite a bit during the week, the heat & humidity adds a totally different factor to runs though, blah! Yay Summer!
