Running, Bowling and Random Facts About Me

 Workout:  7.4 mile run in 1 hr 7 mins with Dad

Today was an early morning and fun filled exhausting day.  I drug myself out of bed at 5:15 pulled on some running clothes, grabbed my bag and headed to town to meet up with my Daddy.  I had a 7 mile run on the training plan so Dad agreed to tough them out with me.  We did a big ol' loop through town, down to the river walk and back.  I felt good for the beginning of it, around mile 4.5 I started to feel a little tuckered out and by mile 6.5 my legs were toast.  They did get me back to our starting point luckily.  As soon as we got back I immediately did some stretching.  I do not stretch enough.  I love how I feel when I am done so WHY don't I do it all the time??  I can't figure it out.

The rest of my morning was spent hanging out with my good friend Amy and her two daughters.  We ran some errands, did a little shopping and went bowling.  Our local bowling alley offers free bowling for kids all summer long so the girls got a free game.  It is fun to play in a lane with bumpers in the gutter!!!  I had my best score ever! :)  Plus it is just adorable to see a 2 1/2 year old carry a bowling ball and then push it down the lane.    I stink at remembering my camera so that I could share the cuteness.

Now onto the random facts about me.  The fabulous Nikki at The Worth of My Soles picked me for another blogger award.  Check out Nikki's great blog.  She is funny, talented and a workout queen.

So here are seven random facts about me

I've donated my hair to Locks for Love twice - the second time was just yesterday when I got 10 inches chopped off.



I've had my motorcycle licence since 2006 and love to ride my Kawasaki Vulcan 500.


I worked in a horse barn for three years, taking care of the horses, learning how to train a filly and taking riding lessons.



I was a "band nerd" in high school as part of  the color guard, indoor guard and indoor percussion groups.


For my 30th birthday I took a 12 day cruise to Alaska with my grandfather, mom and dad.  We got a chance to take a helicopter ride and walk on top of Mendenhall Glacier

I swam with dolphins in the Bahamas.



It is harder than I thought to come up with seven random facts and find pictures to go along with them.  Thanks for the Blogger Award Nikki!
