I need a vacation

I will need to take a vacation for my own mental wellness this spring. I am thinking sometime around May would be excellent. I am on a strict budget for this vacation and would love to go somewhere particularly warm! Considering a cruise at this point... maybe to the Bahama's. I can't say it enough- how excited I will be when Chris graduates from school! (May 2011) This will be a wonderful day!

With both of us being able to make decent money, our lives will greatly improve!!! For now, it is a struggle. It is like running up a big mountain with nothing/ nobody giving you that extra push you need.

In May of 2011 another vacation will be in order, and this time... I am thinking... Quebec, Stockholm, or Ireland. Suggestions?

Catch me if you can

I am setting a goal. Chris (my boyfriend) announced to me a few days ago that he would like to start running again. I was psyched! I ran 5 races in the summer of 2008 (all fundraiser/charity races). I can name all of them: Firecracker run (2 miles) July 4, Laurel Run 8k, Cameron Run 5k, Liberty Trail Run 5k (for the Jamestown Audubon Center & Sanctuary), and the Fall Festival 5k run at Holiday Valley. Between May, 2010 and November 2010... I plan on running more than 5 races this time, and have Chris run most of them with me! Of course, my running partner, Katherine will hopefully join us for these races as well. I'll post our results and reactions after each race on my blog. Now, off to the gym in a bit to continue to prepare my body for a summer of running! If anyone has any fun races to suggest, let me know... I do prefer smaller races. However; I will be running the Turkey Trot 8k annually which is HUGE (12,000 runners this year!) but it is quite fun... so that race is my "big race" exception. Happy running!
