Half Marathon Training

My friends and I are training for a half marathon. Today I ran the furthest I have ever run in my life, nine miles. Ouch. But at the same time, it feels good. The race date is the end of June. I think I'll be ready. I also started the program from a trainer from the show "Biggest Loser" with some girls from Olympic Gym. It's a book by Jillian called "Making the Cut". It's a 30 day intense program of eating and working out. You can check out my progress at that blog - www.letsmakethecut.blogspot.com, or just follow the link on the right. I am trying to actually eat right so I can be lighter and run faster. Plus, I've been training for this half marathon since February and haven't lost any weight so I figured I'd better do something different.

Here come the clowns!

The spring carnival was a big success! Lots of people came and the kids all had fun. It was a carnival theme (my kids thought that was funny to have a carnival themed carnival). We had Cha-Cha the clown, a dunk tank, a cotton candy machine, a raffle and silent auction, and lots of food and games (which I was in charge of). I was also the mastermind behind the the circus decorations by the front doors and back doors. It was a lot of work and I'm glad it's over and hoping we brought in TONS of money for the school!
