January Flowers

The month is almost gone but I managed to squeeze in getting flowers, even if they were just picked while leaving work.

Training for the Color Run 5K

 

Calling what I'm doing "training" may be a bit dramatic with what I consider a jog, but I guess it is the technical term for preparing to do a 5K.  I've been going to the walking track by the waterway in Fulton to jog/walk.  It is flat, car free, and is marked every half mile so I can keep up with my progress.  It can be a bit windy, but someday I'll remember to wear ear warmers and then it won't be such a problem.

26 By 27 list

A blog I read Wit and Whistle made a list of 28 things to accomplish before she turned 29.  I decided since I have nearly 6 months until my birthday I would make my own list of 26 things to accomplish or do before turning 27.  Kind of a fun way to get me to make the most of those days that would otherwise have no direction.  It will also help me to actually blog since I can report back on each one.  Here is my not quite finished list of 26 by 27.  There may be alterations to it as I go.
