NOLA Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon dilemma!

I’m in a dilemma….  I can’t decide if I should sign up for this race.  I’ve been training for it and I’ve been planning to run it, but it cost $110, which is a lot for this small budget.  I have the money right now, but I worry if it’s the right choice to spend my money on.  It’s not just the $110, I also need to have the money to travel down there.  Luckily I have a friend that I can stay with, but I’m struggling with whether or not I should sign up.  I also didn’t do so great with training this past week, so I think I’m also a little discouraged about that.  I have until Tuesday to decide because that’s when the price gets jacked up and I just don’t know what to do.  I have a list of things that keep me going back and forth.  This is what I love about the blogging community though… you all can help me decide!  I’m going to write out a list of things that are making me go back and forth and if you have any encouragement, advice, or whatever, I’d greatly appreciate it!


1. The cost, obviously.  $110 by Jan. 15.  I have the money, but I’m not sure if it’s responsible to spend it.
2. My training has been lacking this week, although I got back on track yesterday, I’m hoping I can keep it up.
3. I’m worried that if I don’t sign up though, I’ll stop training all together.
4. I could find a cheaper race and just give myself longer time to train, but I’m starting to realize that you have to sign up for stuff WAY early to get a good deal and it’s hard for me to commit a year in advance.
5. I’ve told so many people that I’m doing this race and I don’t want them to think I’m a quitter and I don’t want to feel like a quitter thinking that they’re thinking that.
6. I’ve never been to NOLA and I have been looking forward to it and I thought this was a great way to spend my first visit there.

Hope you’re having a great Sunday!

Friday Letters!

*I stole this photo from my roommate who is there now! This is from this morning*
 
Dear Disney, oh how I miss thee!  I look forward to visiting or working soon!  I have a possible trip planned in May and I may be back for a professional internship in August, we will be reunited soon!  Dear weekend, I’m so glad you’re here!  Although you will more than likely be filled with some work things I need to get caught up on, so I guess totall relaxation is out of the question.  Dear training, I’m getting back to it today (hopefully).  I haven’t run today yet, but it’s in the plans!  Dear NOLA Half-Marathon, I haven’t registered for you yet, but the price goes up Tuesday, so I need to do that soon.  Dear bloggy friends, y’all make me smile, seriously! I have 90 followers… I’m in shock, I know that may not seem like a lot to some of you, but I’m humbled by this! I’m looking forward to my very first and fabulous giveaway when I hit 100 and getting me a new blog look!  If you want to help this girl promote, tell your friends!  Dear nutella and pretzels, geez you’re good. period.  Dear boyfriend, I’m looking forward to spending some time with you this weekend and relaxing, I’m thinking we do a Disney themed movie night and take advantage of Hercules and that $10 zorbas giftcard!  Dear seesters, I love you both, very very much.  Thanks for putting up with me and living with me.  I’m grateful for y’all and you each get more beautiful with every passing day!  Dear Grey’s Anatomy, seriously… you had to kill off someone else, when will the tragedy stop??? I’m close to my own death just because of you!  Dear Once Upon A Time, o.m.g. if you are not the most amazing show ever created!  Ok, besides HIMYM, They are always #1, but you’re following close behind! I love it!
 
Happy Friday, hope you all enjoy your wonderful weekend! 🙂

It’s OK Thursday!

Its Ok Thursdays
 
Happy Thursday! Boy am I glad this week is almost over!
 
It’s OK…
 
… to be unbelievably ready for the weekend, because hey, that’s what they’re here for!
 
… to contemplate buying an EC planner anyways, even though you got a May Books for Christmas
(I love my Maybooks planner, but with all my use the cover is already starting to fade which really stinks, so I’m considering buying my legit EC planner for appt’s and homework and using my small perfectly sized Maybooks planner for menu planning each week and fitness scheduling)
 
… to wish you had an extra hour every morning just to sip on coffee while watching your favorite tv show
 
… to miss your Disney roommates so much!
 
… to miss a few days in training (ok, maybe that’s not quite ok)
 
… to need 12 more followers to hit 100, then I have a lovely surprise for all of YOU!
 
… to be excited that I was just asked this week to do my very first company review post.  I’ll get to try it out and then share it with all of you! 
 
… to have your muggy, rainy, dreary weekend (that you’re actually very excited about) set aside to work on the above mentioned review, cleaning, relaxing, and recharging!
 
… to feel like you already need a vacation when you just got back from the holidays
 
… to spend quality time with friends watching Grey’s! Can’t wait for tonight!
 
… to really not want to do my 3 mile run today, but know that I really need too, and hope that I continue to talk myself into it so that I eventually complete it tonight.
 
… to wish I devoted more time to this precious blog, I’ll keep working on that!
 
Hope ya’ll are having a really great Thursday and are excited about the weekend like I am!
