I am rockin'!

It's been a great couple of days!

And it all started on Friday night...
I had dinner with the hubby AND my boss at Father & Son Pizza... it was so yummy!
After dinner, the three of us headed over to Logan Theater to see a sing-along of my favorite movie of all time... GREASE!!!

OMG... it was such a great time! I sang my little heart out every time there was an opportunity to sing. LOL! Might even take in the South Park one with the hubby.... it should be a great one too.

Then it was race day on Saturday morning! I couldn't believe that even though we got home late from the movie, the both of us got up and made it early to our race.

Here was the gear that we got for starting the race:

And here we are before the race began:

It was such a beautiful morning when we arrived at the park by the museums to have a race! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day for a race! The weather was just perfect for our first run of the new year and our second run ever.

So a couple of friends arrived after we were there.

Nina is a friend of the hubby's... they used to work together. And she is an avid runner in her own right.

And then my friend Liz showed up. We are in the same running group, Latinas Run It!

And then we all took off together to run this thing... and enjoy the lakefront views that we had while running. I would have liked to take pictures while running, but I was too busy running and concentrating (LOL!) to even stop to take pictures. Maybe another time!

And here we are at the end of our race!

Runners with their medals!

Me with my medal

The hubby and I with our finishers medal!

OMG.... it was a great run! And I cannot wait for the next one in March!

This one is going to be more than 3.1 miles... it will be 7k which equals to 4.35 miles. So I will be training on this one a little harder since it is a 1.25 more miles than a regular 5k. I am really looking forward to this one too... another MEDAL!!! LOL!!

After the race, we went out to get some lunch and then came home to the princess since she is still sick. She was at home with my mom. They were still sleeping by the time I called AFTER the race to check in on her. LOL! It was hilarious!

We stayed home that night with the princess and just ordered in food and watched movies together. It was such a wonderful Saturday!

Sunday was good too. I woke up a little late... 8:30am... and made breakfast for the hubby and princess. We watched a little television and then headed out to the store and then my mother-in-law's house to see her. It was her birthday on Saturday but we didn't get to see her. And then it was back home to relax for Monday morning.

Unfortunately, I ended up taking my mother to the emergency room on Sunday (really Monday morning) night around 12:30am. I got home a little after 2am and she got home with my dad around 3am.
She hasn't been feeling well lately and it was getting hard for her to breathe... so she called me on Sunday night and was "trying" to tell me that she couldn't breathe. So since my father was up, I told him to meet me at the hospital in his car since I had to get to work in the morning, just in case they kept her overnight.
Thankfully they didn't... and it turned out to be bronchitis. So they gave her a breathing treatment while I was there and some medication after I left.

Working on 3 hours of sleep, the hubby brought me into work on Monday morning and I was here all day working on all sorts of things with barely any sleep and a fried brain. LOL! But I got through the day at work and even cleaned up and mopped at home after getting out of work. Got the princess into the shower, dressed her and did the same for myself... all before 9pm!
By the time I got to bed last night, I spent! But I needed to spend time with the hubby and I did... I love it!

Things are starting to look really good for my family and I am blessed to be on the right path towards the things that I want for them.
The fight is all worth-while... and I can't wait until things are finally all in order for us.

Now I am here... with a boatload of things to do! UGH! The party is never going to end here! LOL!

And I have to admit to something... some people might be completely surprised that I will be putting it on here first... but I am proud to say that I am totally addicted to running! LOL!!
I might even get my daughter addicted to it too! LOL!
This one in at the end of March has a 100-yard dash for kids between 2 and 8 years old... so why not?! LOL!

Okay... since I have been working on this, I think that I should get back to work now.
I have a spreadsheet of races that I want to get together since there are a few races that I want to participate in. ;-)

Oh... did I mention that I have been doing 100 squats daily on TOP of a squat challenge? LOL! So today either at the gym tonight or at home when I get home from the gym, I will be doing my daily squats and my challenge for today of 90! WHOOHOO!!! I can't wait!
According to hubby, my tushie is getting much firmer since I started doing my daily 100... LOL! I can't wait until the month is up so I can see if there is a change in my firmness. LOL!

I'm telling you... this is my year! I am making progress in the way that I want things done for myself and I will continue to move forward on all the dreams and aspirations that I have for both myself and my family.

Have a great day and hasta la proxima!
