25 Random Things

I have been challenged to do this 101 times so I figured I'd better get to it. Here goes, 25 Random Things about me...

1. I like to drive around town but hate to drive distances.
2. I have 4 kids from the widest spectrum of personalities and traits.
3. I have been married over half of my life.
4. I still remmeber names of most of the people I went to elementary school with and can name all my teachers from Kind through 6th grade.
5. I love the color purple - flower, clothes, anything purple is a fave of mine.
6. I have a horrid distaste for cottage cheese.
7. I never did college. I only wanted to get married and be a Mom.
8. I have trouble telling others "no".
9. I am the youngest of 12 kids from a mixed up crazy meshed family and I love it.
10. I am scared of horses. Oh, and bears.
11. I love to go 4wheeling and have only fallen off once!
12. I listen to ACDC while I workout and run.
13. I love to do laundry but hate to do dishes.
14. I am a people person - love to talk and chat and get to know people but I am usually quiet at first.
15. I like to be one on one with people... not a big group kind of person.
16. I think my kids all are going to be taller than me.
17. I am not an animal lover - even though we have a dog and a cat.
18. If I could wear my hair in a ponytail 24-7 I would.
19. Someday I would like to learn to play the piano.
20. I wish I was a better cook but I don't see it in the cards. :O)
21. I worry about my kids futures more than they know....
22. I think having one or two very close friends is better than having dozens of so-so friends.
23. I am a dedicated person - to those who are close to me there isn't anything I would not do for someone I love and care for.
24. I am on a quest for fitting into a great pair of size 12 jeans!!!!!
25. I have learned over and over and am not afraid to say "Love me or leave me" because I am not changing for anyone but myself!

Back in the saddle again.... or running shoes that is!

I am doing my normal yo yo running - and I am back again LOL! I just really need to stick to it and keep up my endurance and strength! Stinks that 2 months ago I was at over 2 miles straight and today I had to push to get to 1 mile again. UGH! I felt the old familiar "rush" though and think I'll be able to kick it back up quickly. I want to be up to 3 miles again by the end of the month when I go run the 5K with Carlee in Twin Falls... oye!

Other than that, just busy. Kids, work, kids, work, house, laundry, kids, work... all that fun stuff. Ed started his online school program too which so far hasn't been too much of a kink in our schedules. We shall see?!

OK gotta get kids outta here and get showered and ready for work! I DID get up at 4:15 a.m. to hit the gym early so that feels good - now I'll have to fight to get in the shower! LOL

Take care and be good to your bodies!
