jogging & party 4 dad

I just got back from jogging.

One of my goals for this year is to be able run a 5k.

I've been working on it, and have jogged 3 times this week for a total of 3 miles.

Yes, you're probably thinking thats not very good, but it is for me! I am excited to be doing it.

Maybe it's my new pink and black adidas coat that i got for christmas that's inspiring me. :P

Well, tonight we are having a big party for my dad. He is a nuclear engineer, and just passed a HUGE 2 1/2 hour oral test last week, where up to 4 managers asked him questions that he's learned from over 7 MONTHS! (Can you belive it???)

We are so proud of him!

GO DAADDDYYYY!

Fun run!:)

SO today was the Ardmore 5k. Our church started doing it, and then it's just sorta been a tradition. Over 700 people did the 5k, and about 100 did the fun run (1 mile). Our church raised over $15,000 for a food bank! I did the fun run... It was fun! My shoes came untied (though i double-knotted them) and I had to stop or else I would make my self look stupid and trip! (ha!) But i tried to jog or run most of the time... My dad did the fun run AND the 5k! GO DAD! 4.1 miles... It was FREEZING cold. ahhh!!! I wore my fleece columbia jacket and soffe shorts. It was soooooo coollllllddd! ahhh i'm like cold right now thinking about it. anyway it was really fun! Also, me and my sisters volunteered to cheer ppl on at the intersections. That was fun! I saw a ton of ppl i know, including both of my teachers. (haha)

Yesterday, we went shopping. I finally found a winter coat (yea!) Its brown fleece columbia jacket with light aqua writing, and a light-aqua and brown rain coat-ish thing that you can wear it with or w/o the fleece. It is soo warm! I am happy!:)

I also got some sperries. (well their fakes but they look JUST like them except for the logo). they are very comfortable! I went to some shoe stores but I didn't see many boots i liked... anyways, Thanks for the advice in my previous post!:)

weekend back-up and tired thursday's

I just realized that I never posted about my weekend. LAST weekend. Wow I'm behind..

The shakesphere play- I know I mentioned me playing my violin in it, but I don't never if i told much about it. well it was so much fun! Anually, my school has a huge play, which we work on throughout the year. This year, our play was "As you like it."

I played the part of a lady-in-waiting. I had a fairly small speaking part. At least I had something, right? And at least I got to put on a costume, and makeup. I had a blast though. I guess the excitement of it all was mainly why.

After the play, we went to some friend's house, watched "What about Bob" (weirdly funny movie-- soo totally 80's though!) And then went to pick up my dad at the air port. It was about 11:30 when we got there. It was soo good to see him!

The next day we went to the celtic festival. Very intersting. There was-- let's just say a very WIDE variety of different types of people. It was a little bit disturbing. A lot of goths with spiked chocker necklaces, pink hair, and kilts. And many hippies. All in kilts. *cringe* the music and icecream was good though!:)

That night we went out to eat for greek food. It was delicious! aww man it was good. Greek is like my new favorite cuisine now!

Sunday was Mother's Day! we made my mom lunch, got her roses and cards, and went for a Sunday afternoon jog. I was training for running the mile. Right after that, my dad had to leave. :( I was really sad...

Anyways, we had a good weekend. Forgive me for not posting about it.

Yesterday, we had to run the mile in P.E. Omigoodness... it makes me more tired than I already am just thinking about it. After school, I hung out with Dee Dee, went to Borders and looked at funny books. Then came back for a church picnic. Wednesday's are officially over.:( mannn what am I going to do on Wednesday's any more?

Today nothing eventful has happend. I am sooo tired. I think I might go take a nap... Yea that would be nice. Sorry for an unusually long post!
