Getting Ready...Again!

Sorry that I wasn't around much last week. Every week, since Celebration Pet Day has been SO incredibly busy. By the time I get home, I'm just too tired to blog. I'm getting ready for my 2nd 5K this weekend. It's the United Way 5K Spooktacular. I went and checked out the race course yesterday. The first part is pretty flat, but they have some REALLY big hills right at the end...and, oh yeah, speed bumps that we have to navigate not too far from the finish line. Geez! As if I wasn't a big enough klutz enough on my own, that they had to go and add speed bumps into the mix. Oh well, here's to not breaking something important! Hopefully, I will at least do as well as I did in the last one. I'm hoping to gain some time, since the weather will be quite a bit cooler than it was in August. I'll report my results, after the race this weekend.

Soooo Busy!

I can't believe how busy I've been lately. We've been busy getting Casey enrolled in a Culinary program in Nashville. We finish the details this Friday.

I've also been busy planning for our 4th Annual Celebration Pet Day. We've really got some exciting stuff for this year's event. We've got a performing dog act coming, The Comedy Canines. All of the dogs are rescue dogs. Their show is based on rescue, spay/neuter, responsible pet ownership, etc. We've also got agility dogs coming this year. Mudbug Farm Agility is coming and giving demos. There's a lot more too! If anyone is close enough here are the details:

10:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

Bedford County Agricultural Center

I've also been busy training for my very first 5K this Saturday. I'm participating in the Fenton Payne & Fred. I'm excited, but I'm also a little nervous. I just hope I'm able to run the whole race.

I've got to run for now. I still have TONS of stuff to get done. Toodles!

Committed

I took the plunge. I registered yesterday for my first 5k. There's no backing out now. I'm up to running 4.5 miles easily, so I'm going further than a 5k. It's on August 23rd. Hopefully, the heat won't do me in too badly. Starting this week, I'm going to run outside at least once a week. The actual race starts at 7:00 a.m., so maybe it won't be too miserable outside. I can hope can't I? I'm already a little nervous, even though I know I shouldn't be. I'm not particularly racing for a good time, but just to run the whole thing and finish. It's more of a personal goal, than anything else. There's no backing out now!
