Random Ramblings Tuesday Edition

well I have missed my last few friday random ramblings and I am in a blogging mood so why not tuesday?

I succesfully did my second 5K on Saturday. Considering I really hadn't been training or doing much running at all since my foot injury (i fell off the workout wagon and was having trouble getting back on) I think I did ok. The course was quite hilly, so that was a bit tough but I still beat my previous time by 2 minutes! I was happy with that. Totally different experience than the first race, many more runners and there were tons of supports and even bands along the route! I am thinking about doing one more in Early August with a friend who has never done one before. Although I think she runs more than me so I am sure she will beat me! I still have yet do complete one without having to walk...ultimately that is my goal...to be able to do the whole 3 miles without walking...

This weekend we are heading to Wisconsin to visit some of my friends from my previous job. I have not been there in almost a year, and Izzy adn Chris haven't seen any of these people in 2 years! I am kinda nervous actually because I hope we still have stuff in common even though I don't work there anymore. This has been the longest I have been not working there. I honestly don't really miss it. I miss the people but do not really miss the job. Maybe I miss the "prestige or importance" of hte job a little and I miss the travel I got to do to other countries, but Izzy is my priority right now and I wouldn't have it any other way

Speaking of work, I am trying to get more motivated and out of my comfort zone a little by doing more marketing for my company. It is my dad's business, a sales trainign business and we are in desperate need of more marketing and I am spear heading the e-marketing part of it. I am excited but a little overwhelmed too...but I am kinda enjoying figuring things out as I go. I just have to keep pushing myself because no one is pushing me really. I also have to gear up for the boring data entry part of getting our database going..it will suck to set up but once I have it set up it should be easy to maintain

My period was about 4 days late this cycle and of course i could not stop my thoughts of possibly beign pg. I obviously wasn't but couldn't help but daydream a little about what would have been if I was...I wonder if these feelings will ever go away?

I need to start looking at daycare/preschool options for Izzy in the fall adn I am totally dreading it!! While the situation we have now is fine, i feel like she needs more stimulation hence looking at other options. because she doesn't turn 3 until end of January she really doesn't qualify for preschool yet so i will probably look into a daycare setting 2x a week and then let my mom still have one day. I know I shoudl do this for her development but I am not looking forward to the process.

I feel like the summer is flying by so fast I really wish I could slow it down! The next couple weeks will be busy so that isn't going to help slow things down at all.

I could keep goign but need to get back to work. Stay tuned for hopefully some awesome pictures in the next couple days, we are having family pictures taken tomorrow night by a friend who is an AWESOME photographer. I can't wait!!
