An overdue update. March 3, 2008
Posted by Staci in : General Ramblings, Running , add a commentA lot has happened since I last posted.
Yes I am still running, but I am considering changed from the half marathon planned in May to the 5k instead. I will still be traveling to Eugene to do it, but I think I will have more fun at the shorter distance. I am really really slow after all so it was going to take almost 4 hours to do the half. This way I can run the 5k (it will take about 50 minutes for me) and still be in a great mood for socializing with the KR crowd that will be there.
My sister had her baby. My niece Chloe Monroe was born on Feb 15th at 131 am. She is adorable. She has my dad’s chin, her dad’s nose, and blue eyes.
Last week my car was vandalized. I went to Wal-Mart and some kid asked me for some cash for gas. I said no and went in to the store. When I came out there was a rock sitting on my sunroof. The glass was shattered. It was safety glass so at least it did not go everywhere, but it needed to be replaced. My insurance is covering it because I have full glass so that is good, but it won’t be fixed for a few days so I am with out a car. *sigh*
I sort of took up a new hobby. I have a gps because of my running so I decided to try geocaching. You can learn more about it at www.geocaching.com. It is basically a grown up treasure hunt using GPS for the map. I have only found a few but I have had fun doing it. I might go out with a member of KR while in Eugene to search for a few there since I will be there for 4 days. At this point since I am going out alone, I am only going during the day and I won’t do any that are long hikes away from my car just for safety reason. So that means visits to local parks and greenbelts before work on the days I don’t run or on the weekends.
