2011 Fourth of July!

So this fourth of July we spent it with a few friends. It was alot of fun, Robert grilled ribs and I made potatoe salad and an Boston cream pie. Our friends brought angel food cake, homemade fudge sauce and ice cream, and corn on the cob.

I hate/ love....

carpet cleaning! I hate the amount of work, effort, and time it takes. But I LOVE the results!

Can you guess what I have been up to today? :)

Walk #2

I walked (and jogged a very, very little) 2 miles in 34.59 minutes so that puts my mile at 17.30.
I cut off a few seconds from yesterday but my legs are killing me now. It is so silly/aggravating that my legs are killing me after 2 miles when I used run 6.2 miles and be just fine, though I was carrying about 100lbs less back then!

Confession...

So I used to be an athletic person and I worked out every day but now, um, not so much...

So today, in light of my list of things I want to do this summer, I walked on my treadmill for 2 miles, 2 really slow miles.

omgoodness, I can not believe I used to run!! Who was that person! I swear it is so sad to say that I struggled the whole 2 miles, but I did it. It ONLY took me 36 minutes (haha), but that is ok, you have to start somewhere right :)

So today my mile average was 18 minutes a mile. I am setting a goal to get my mile down to 15 minutes a mile by August. I think that is reasonable.

Looking forward to...

going to the beach as much as possible this summer.

I am so excited cause last summer we hardly went to the beach at all! Since my summer classes are at night I am hoping that will free up my days to lay around in the sun! Sometimes I wish we had a pool at our apartment complex so that if I am unable to drive all the way to the beach (a whole 15-20 minutes, I know it is a rough life I live :) I could just sun bath by the pool.

If anyone wants to go to the beach with me, just call me, everyone is welcome. :)

P.S. I will be wearing a ton of sun block, no burning for me.

Skin Cancer Video

Please watch this video about skin cancer and pass it on.

I cried while watching it because my heart hurts for those that have to go through this. My best friends mom has skin cancer and she has had to go through a lot and she still is not done. I remember as a child that my mom would watch her kids so she could go to the tanning booth to get darker and nobody thought anything of it. Please use sunscreen. Please check yourself!

School and Summer

Well today is my last day of my teaching credential classes until I start in the Fall. I still have a few projects due today but nothing like I have been having to do. I can not believe 18 weeks just flew by. I can not believe that in a few months I will be student teaching, I am so excited and scared at the same time!!!

I will be taking summer classes but I am hoping, even though they are 6 weeks long instead of 9 weeks, that they will be a little easier. The nice thing is that my summer classes don't start until next Wednesday so I get a week off.

And the best news yet, I think I will have a whole month off of school from the time summer school gets done before I start student teaching!!

This summer I have a list of a few things I would like to do:

1. Start walking everyday
2. Go to the beach 2 times a week
3. Start eating healthier
4. Decorate my apartment
5. Become more crafty

Anyone that wants to join me with anything on my list is welcome :)

So, What are your plans this summer?
