So many times I find myself ready to work out....but not eat healthy to go along with it. OR I am ready to eat healthy, but lack in working out. FINALLY, I have everything put together! I am working out, eating healthy, and have the perfect mindset! I feel great. Today, for my training, I needed to run 7miles. I just had to do a slow long run (instead of sprint/walk combo) and I did it :) I ran 7- ten minute miles without stopping. I have never done that before. 4miles non stop was the longest I had previous done, and that was last week...haha! Ok, enough with that!
I just had my first week back with my 4-year old kiddos this week, and I guess I expected for the worst behaviors, not wanting to follow the routine, etc. But they proved me wrong! They were great! I couldn't have had a better week with them...actually, I think it was the best week with this group! Part of my job is supervising 10 college students who come into lab one day a week for 4 hours. They have to write and teach lesson plans, etc. So we have a new set of college students since it is the beginning of the semester. So one of my 4 year olds told one of the college students, "You don't know how to teach yet. You're not a good teacher. Kelly will teach you how to teach. You will learn from her." Funny and cute. I didn't realize I was such a super teacher! I made sure the college student took that comment with a grain of salt...haha!
Anyway, I'm off to spend the evening with family down in York for my uncle's 40th birthday :)
Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!

To the start of my blogging!
Good Night!
What a weird way to greet, huh? Well, I just finished my first blog ever for my administration class towards my masters (which was so much harder to write that this), but it made me want to write about my life and share my goals, dreams, accomplishments, and everyday life with anyone who wants to listen.
So, tonight, I am going to talk about my current goal: to run a 1/2 marathon (the eau claire 1/2 marathon) which is held on Sunday, May 1, 2011. That means that I have 5 months and 5 days until race day. Good thing that I am on week 4 of my training!!! I found a training schedule online and have abided by it since day 1. I am currently running 4 miles two days a week and on Saturday I will be running 7miles. I am currently running on a treadmill at Gold's Gym in Eau Claire. It is going great so far, and I feel amazing after each run!
Another goal of mine is to reach the weight of 130lbs. Some of you may think, WOW, you go girl. While others may think, wow, 130...big deal! I haven't been that small since my sophomore year of high school. My first year of college my starting weight was 150, and by Summer of 2009, I was at my top weight of....168 :( and let me tell you I was not happy and I honestly have only told a few people of that weight. After eating healthy and kicking my butt exercising I dropped some weight at was at 160 for a while. I then met my now fiance, Mike, who ate healthy and worked out (nice body!!!). He helped make me want to be my "old-young-athletic-in shape" self again. With that I dropped down to 153 in summer of 2010. I kept that weight through the fall and Christmas and after Christmas I decided to do something about it (and to look amazing in my wedding dress in July). So after talking to Staci, I decided to start training for the 1/2 marathon. So, I run three days a week (which I mentioned before) and the other days I do 1-2 cardio work outs. I am happy to report after 3 full weeks I am down to 146!!! I feel great :)
I am getting to the point where the weight isn't dropping quickly as I would like and at times I need some extra support and so I am looking to my friends and family for that :)
And with all of that said, I'm going to bed and officially say Good Night!!!
